In purchasing this, I stepped out on faith - with no track listing here on Amazon, I had no idea what I would be hearing. But being a fan of Ms. Lauryn Hill's for so many years, I took a chance on it. This is an import that was released here in the US just this year but it is actually about a year old. br / br /Let me say this - about 90% of the tracks are not new. They are selected songs from Ms. Hill's two previous solo albums, the Fugees' CDs BLUNTED ON REALITY and THE SCORE, snippets from interviews, and various collaborations with other artists (Nas, the late, great Curtis Mayfield, Carlos Santana, Wyclef's solo work, et al). Not that there's anything wrong with that - I have to admit that some of the tracks I had not heard before. Ms. Hill does a spare but especially moving version of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come", with her singing along with Wyclef's guitar playing as her only accompaniment. I have to say it's right up there with Sam's original version and the remake Aretha Franklin made in 1967. There is also a stunning rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Blame It On The Sun", sort of a precursor to what we would hear on "Killing Him Softly". br / br /As for the "newer" material, the excellent song "Lose Myself" was a featured track in the animated movie, "Surf's Up" in 2007. Although I thought the lyrical content of the song was way too mature for this film geared towards children, the overall sound of the tune is bouncy and upbeat, which probably explains the reason why it made it onto this movie soundtrack. Why "So High" (with John Legend) never made it to the airwaves I cannot understand. It is a great song with Ms. Hill's vocals echoing richness and experience, in both her singing and rapping. Also included here is the so-called Fugees' reunion song from 2006, "Take It Easy". Even though the reunion didn't really materialize, it was kind of cool to see them back together again, if only for a minute. br / br /Track listing: br /Lauryn Hill - Intro br /Lose Myself br /So High (remix with John Legend) br /Take It Easy br /Blame It On The Sun br /Final Hour br /Lost Ones br /Do You Like The Way br /Superstar br /Here But (The full title of this is "Here But I'm Gone", from Curtis Mayfield's CD NEW WORLD ORDER.) br /Tell Him br /The Sweetest Thing br /Skit - Lauryn Hill Speaks On Hip-Hop br /The Sweetest Thing (Remix) br /L Boogie br /Skit - Lauryn Hill Speaks on Music br /Music br /Cowboys (featuring Rah Digga) br /How Many Emcees br /Guantanamera br /Soon As I Get Home br /Freedom br /Skit br /Ex-Factor br /Nothing Even Matters (featuring D'Angelo) br /A Change Is Gonna Come (Live) br /Lauryn Hill Speaks - The Ending br / br /Remember, many of the tracks are snippets, so some of them only last for a minute or less. br / br /I was surprized that a track that I had heard rumbling underground entitled "Ms. Hill" was not included here. It seems only logical that since MS. HILL is the title of this CD, it would be here. br / br /Overall it is a good release and I don't regret buying it, although I would have liked to have a CD with all-new material. But even if Ms. Hill chooses not to go that route, her impact in the music industry has already been made on the highest of levels. The work of Ms. Hill is still relevant and sorely needed in today's music world, where vapid garbage goes to the top of the charts by so-called artists making vocal utterances about nothing. I'd rather listen to this than to hear what is being called music now. br /
