Lauryn Hill's New Album- Whats the delay?
posted by DAECLECTICMC on 7/25/2006, 9:53 pm
I was introduced to someone who used to work for Columbia's marketing department... As most of you know Columbia is the label Lauryn Hill is signed to... I asked him about Lauryn and her new project and why is it taking so long to be released to the public... Many of us blame Lauryn for this delay but the truth is that the situation is out of her hands... This particlar person told me that he was present when they held a meeting for her album proposal sometime last year... They listened to the whole album and ultimately turned the project down... They told Lauryn that the album was not good enough... The dude told me the album was BRILLIANT but cuz it sounds different than "Miseducation..." the label is afraid it will not sell. They told Lauryn to work on some new songs... Lauryn was very upset and said she did not understand their lack of faith when she sold 8 million albums of "Miseducation..." She mentioned how she will start her own label and release this album and others and not have to humiliate herself asking for approval.
So it has been confirmed that Lauryn does have a completed album its just a matter of finding people who have faith in her and this album... The person who told me this assured me the album is a masterpiece and something new and fresh but its not very radio friendly... I suspected for a long time that Columbia was responsible for the delay in this project. They are also responsible for pushing Lauryn to record a reunion album with the Fugees since they refuse to release her solo record... I hope Lauryn starts her own label so we dont have to deal wit Columbia's shyt.
