1. Lauryn HillThe Miseducation Of…
This album is flawless. From production to writing to everything, that album is just good. There is not much more to say about it than that album is fucking perfect. Some albums are just perfect. Amy Winehouse Back To Black is fucking perfect. The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill album is perfect. It won eight grammies or something. Start-to-finish, every song, literally every single song, is a number one. Not in the terms of success, but sonically, it’s solid songwriting at it’s best. From production to writing, to delivery, to performance, stylistically, I could sing that entire album, it’s just so perfect. It’s like eating the most well-rounded meal, all of your favourite foods from start to dessert, everything is your very favourite, cooked exactly the way you want it to be. Sometimes I’ll put on that album and I just can’t believe how easy it is to explain, because it’s just so fucking perfect. And the way she came off Fugees and did that was so cool. She is a badass. She is so unapologetic. Oh I love her. She’s my generation’s Nina Simone.
