    They said: \u201cLauryn Hill\u2019s debut \u2014 and only \u2014 solo studio album was a seismic event in 1998: a stunningly raw, profound look into the spiritual landscape not just of one of the era\u2019s biggest stars, but of the era itself.<\/p>

    \u201cShe was, and remains, a once-in-a-generation talent whose inspiration and innovation can be heard through the decades. Artists exhaust long discographies hoping for a cohesive piece of work resonant enough to reshape culture and inscribe its creator into the pantheon; Lauryn Hill did it in one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Speaking about the album, Apple Music\u2019s Zane Lowe said: \u201cThis album doesn\u2019t just resonate with the people who were around when it came out and who hold it dear. It has not dated, not even a fraction. In fact, it feels more fresh and more relevant the more you listen to it\u2026 There are a lot of young artists hearing it, and it\u2019s becoming part of their artistic DNA. It\u2019s inspiring and influencing them\u2026 It\u2019s timeless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nile Rogers described the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill as \u201camazing,\u201d whilst Maggie Rogers said it \u201cmeans a lot\u201d to have \u201can artist like Lauryn Hill\u201d at number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
