Wyclef on 'Carnival 2' and The Fugees

[ballagrl23]

Interview: Wyclef Jean to Release 'Carnival 2,' But Where Are the Fugees?

The next Wyclef Jean album will be called "Carnival 2" and it's nearly complete, the rapper revealed exclusively to andPOP while in Toronto this month.

"Carnival," released in 1997, was Wyclef's debut solo album, which earned him a Best Rap Album Grammy nomination. Ever since then, he has mentioned that he was working on a follow-up, but it appears its release may finally be upon us.

"'Carnival 2' is going to be crazy," Wyclef told andPOP. "It's going to be the wildest piece of material that you've heard from Wyclef since the 'Carnival' as a whole piece of music."

Jean said a big focus has been on writing and musical arrangement.

"I'm like the hip-hop Amadeus," he said. "Like Dershawin, I'm going to write a lot of crazy arrangements."

Jerry Wonder, Clef's longtime producer, couldn't hold back his excitement for "Carnival 2."

"Wait 'till you get the 2," he said. "It's sort of the same concept as 'Carnival' but it's like the 2020 version."

Wonder revealed that some of the guests from the first album will be back, perhaps even Lauryn Hill.

Speaking of Hill, what is going on with the Fugees reunion? When Wyclef, Lauryn and Pras hit the studio, they released one single, and another track was leaked, but nothing else has been released since.

Speaking briefly about the Fugees, Jean's tone didn't sound too optimistic.

"Tell them hurry up. I'm moving. They gotta get with it," he said.

"We tryin,'" added Wonder. "It's probably going to happen but everybody's busy."

some new rumors about THE CARNIVAL 2

*will be out in summer 2007
* features Whitney Houston, Desitnys Child, Carlos Santana, Mary J. Blige, Shakira (on a song titled "Love"), AND SPEICAL GUEST Lauryn Hill


source:

Cet opus sera suivi d’un autre titré Carnival 2. Lauryn Hill, l’ancienne voix magique des Fugees, sera en featuring (l’invitée spéciale) sur cet album qui s’inscrira dans la même veine que Carnival, le première œuvre solo de Wyclef qui lui avait valu à sa sortie en 1997 un grand succès commercial avec des tubes comme Guantanamera et Gone til november.
"Je prévois de travailler avec Carlos Santana, Shakira, les Destiny’s Child, Whitney Houston, bref tous ceux avec qui j’ai écrit ces chansons géniales, composé ces instrus de folie afin d’en faire profiter le monde entier", a confié Wyclef Jean à MTV. Plusieurs chansons en duo ont déjà été enregistrées notamment Love avec la Bomba Latina, Shakira (à qui l’haïtiano-américain avait donné la réplique dans le hit de l’été 2006 Hips don’t lie) et What about the baby avec Mary J Blige."

Correction : "the Second wind" will come out before "the Carnival". The Carnival's guest will ONLY be Lauryn Hill, and the other ones (shakira, Mary J Blige) will be featured on "the Second wind" album.

"The Carnival "sucked!
I was soo disappointed after buying that cd. I listened to it once and it's now covered in dust somewhere.

I liked the songs with Lauryn in 'The Carnival'. That's all

[Big-D]

I like "The Carnival" better than "The Miseducation"

[Big-D]

yup

[LookingForTheTruth]

both albums are great
some kind of masterships, creative pieces of art,...........
i like them both but Lauryn's one is better to me (better production, it sounds more "professional" to me and it's more unique-that's why it became so popular)
plus she looks,behaves better then clef and seems more interesting to me
