I bought myself a new parka in the sales at La Redoute last week. It’s really snug and warm, designed in Sweden (winks to Anna) with a faux fur piece on the hood. I went to collect it from the baby trading shop (not babies, but baby equipment). The lady in there was listening to some music on her laptop. It sounded really interesting so I asked her what it was. I didn’t understand who she said at first (she was saying the name a la Française). Anyway she showed me the name and was listening on Deezer so I knew I’d find it again.
Lauryn Hill. At first all I could find was rap, but I persevered and found what I wanted. Listen to this; bet you cry too. (though you’ve probably heard it all ready)

Lauren Hill's voice has so much character to it, I'd listen to her all day
Very powerful and very sad.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing that.
Donna: hello again!
Bill Y: I think that I will be listening to her a lot from now on.
A Lady's Life: Indeed, I've listened to her other tunes and I'm going to look for them on YouTube.
Frank: Thank you for your comment, she is special.
Lauryn Hill is a great singer. I hope I could find it at YouTube as the content of this particular video is blocked in my country on copyright issues. :(
I think Lauryn Hill was originally a member of the Fugees (who did the cover of Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly) - and therefore sang with Wyclef Jean (unsuccessful Haitian presidential candidate). Lot of history in her influences, though she is herself not Haitian I believe.
JaneJane: I'm sorry you couldn't see it. Can you listen on Deezer where you're from?
Fruey: Yes she was a member of the Fugees. She's from New Jersey. Her style has certainly changed.
