Fugees | The Score | CD 435

The Fugees' rendition of "Killing Me Softly" may have skyrocketed to fame, but it’s merely the tip of the iceberg. This hip-hop trio blends their skills seamlessly into the realm of pop music, showcasing talents like Wyclef Jean's adept guitar playing and Lauryn Hill's powerful vocals. Beyond their singing, each member stands out as a creative and distinct rapper, eagerly anticipated to deliver their verse. Their music features the classic boom-bap rhythm, yet it’s the understated grooves and subtle soundscapes that subtly enrich the mix. The album, The Score, also includes vibrant renditions of two other classics, including Bob Marley’s "No Woman, No Cry." Primarily, it highlights their eloquent and spontaneous rhyming, reminiscent of performance poets, while thoughtfully addressing complex social issues.
