Lauryn Hillwowed crowds at this weekend's The Fugees leading lady recruited the likes of Alicia Keysand Nas to perform the Esco's classic, If I Ruled The World.
Speaking before her gig to our US Team, Hill said of her new material: "There's been such a long period of time where I haven't been able to communicate where my mind is, where my consciousness is, where my ideas are,"
"I have to upgrade them a bit so that they're still exciting and fresh and they're new. There's something almost jazz-like the way I approach performances. I'm not sure if the audience really understands."

"We need, or at least I need, a certain amount of spontaneity, a certain amount of improvisation every show. I might have gotten spoiled from the Fugee days. We used to improvise a lot. It kept it so fresh and exciting. I need that. I need that improvisational, almost jazz-like improvisational dynamic when I'm onstage."

She added: " It keeps it so exciting. It's that unknown, that literal X factor that makes every show something different — something unique and something I want to continue to do."

Hill said that's just where she is as an artist right now: "That's the type of mind that I have, the type of spirit I have. I need that new energy."
