To celebrate the 25th anniversary of her all-conquering, GRAMMY Award-winning debut album, Ms. Lauryn Hill has announced a twin-set of Australian arena dates.
TEG Dainty will honour a quarter-century of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill - a record cited as an inspiration by the ilk of Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, Drake and Nicki Minaj - with two east coast headline shows.
Jamaican reggae wunderkind Koffee will perform as a special guest.
Ms. Lauryn Hill said: 'The Miseducation album has been a consistently special artwork that has allowed me to tour for 25 years, sharing the message and energy with its loyal appreciators. I'm not even sure if it feels like 25 years have gone by to me. I'm excited to celebrate this landmark anniversary with the fans in Australia, and I look forward to this time capsule experience. The music itself was born to be anachronistic, at the same time reclaiming precious jewels from the past, and infusing them with the potency and energy of the present, in order to enrich it and the future. Revisiting the album live has renewed my love and appreciation for the music and the period in which it was born when hip-hop was ripe with potential and uncomplicated enthusiasm.'
About Lauryn Hill
Born in New Jersey, at a young age Ms. Hill began digging through her parent's record collection and developing a deep love of both classic and obscure old R&B, soul, and some jazz- she combed through the back catalogues of the likes of Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin and an army of other seminal artists and their releases on labels like Motown, Staxx, Atlantic, Capitol, and Mercury Records.
After graduating high school, she attended Columbia University in New York as a rapper, singer and songwriter alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel of the then-up-and-coming musical group the Fugees. Fusing together innovative production alongside socially conscious lyrics that addressed issues of race, marginalization and inequality, the Fugees would go on to become one of the best-selling hip-hop acts of all time. Renowned as one of the most influential and significant groups of the 1990s, their sophom*ore 1996 release The Score was listed among the 500 Greatest Albums by Rolling Stone, with even Barack Obama naming their single Ready or Not as his favourite song of all time.
In 1998 she launched her solo career with the release of the commercially successful and critically acclaimed album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The album earned a record-breaking five GRAMMY Awards - solidifying her unimpeachable place in the upper echelons of cross-generational musical royalty.
