New Lauryn Hill Album Due In Stores May 7
MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 - Double CD Collection

April 10, 2002 — MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, Lauryn Hill's first album of new music since 1998's Grammy-winning The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, is due in stores May 7th. The double CD/tape collection captures Lauryn Hill's two-hour performance of new acoustic music, which originally premiered on MTV2, March 10, 2002. A DVD/VHS edition of the program is scheduled for a late May release.

"I want to introduce you to me," said Lauryn Hill onstage during the taping for MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, which received a three-and-a-half star (out of four) review in USA Today (March 8, 2002). "The raw, two-hour set of all-new music finds the former Fugees star not only unplugged, but unadorned," wrote critic Steve Jones. " ... it's just Hill and her guitar, singing about the lessons she has learned since she left the spotlight ... she has chosen to step out with no safety net of dancers or a band ... it gives her an opportunity to truly connect with her audience, experiment with song forms and vocal styles, and, most important, tell the truth as she sees it."

A founding member of the pioneering multi-platinum hip-hop trio the Fugees, Lauryn Hill found overwhelming success as a solo artist with her debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard the week of its release. Selling more than 12 million copies worldwide, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill achieved both popular and critical acclaim, earning her five Grammy Awards (including Album of the Year and Best New Artist), three American Music Awards, one Billboard Award, one Soul Train Award, and one MTV Video Music Award.
