Singer/songwriter Lauryn Hill pictured above performing live at the Olympia Theater in Paris, France on Monday (April 16). Check out some video of the 36 year-old singing “To Zion” and “Everything is Everything” below. Her next concert stop is Zermatt, Switzerland..
After her performance at the Los Angeles stop of the Rock the Bells music festival, Lauryn Hill sat down with Reebok for their Classic Albums by Classic Artists series. The musician/actress talked about her creative intentions for her classic 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. She also shared why she thinks her album went on to be one of the greatest albums of all time:
“I think that for me, I sort of acted as sort of a bridge between an older generation and a younger generation. And how to put these two musical styles [old school doo-wop & contemporary hip-hop/r&b] together, to build a continuum so there wasn’t so much of a disconnect between the generations. [...] I think I made a piece of music from a sincere place and I think that sincerity has no choice but to resonate with people. I think that my motives were probably in the right place at the right time. And I think it resonated and spoke or represented something for a generation of people who needed that at that time.”
One week after giving birth to her 6th child and addressing the rumors (READ MORE), Lauryn Hill headed back to work and performed at the L.A. Rising music festival over the weekend (July 30).
The 36 year-old singer/songwriter rocked blow dried hair and an interesting outfit as she sang many of her 90s hits like “Ready or Not” and “Doo Wop (That Thing)”. Peep some footage from her concert.
Following the birth of her son this past weekend, singer/actress Lauryn Hill took to her Twitter page to thank her fans for the well wishes. 
In her issued statement, she addressed the rumors of Rohan Marley leaving her for a Brazilian model as well as the rumor of another man fathering her child:
Mr. Marley and I have a long and complex history about which MANY inaccuracies have been reported since the beginning. To speculate without the facts can only cause people to form WRONG conclusions. We both value privacy and for that reason defend and preserve our right to it. Contrary to the numerous reports, Mr. Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to both of us. Thank you for your concern and I appreciate all of the well wishes regarding the birth of my new son.
Until next time, Ms. Hill (@mshillmvngtrgt / @romarley)
Make sure to check out the photos of her newborn son (name withheld) that were exclusively sent to us this week. Congrats again to the happy family!
