“We’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and Covid. The album features a wide range of samples and instrumentation, with many aspects of alternative hip-hop that would come to dominate the hip-hop. The Score was released worldwide on February 13, 1996, on Columbia Records. “I’m so sorry, but my show isn’t ready,” the singer announced in a tearful Instagram post. The Score is the second and final studio album by the hip hop trio Fugees. Earlier this week, the Grammys announced a rescheduled date in April, and Adele postponed her three-month residency in Las Vegas due to Covid issues. The Fugees were an American music group, popular during the mid-1990s, whose repertoire includes primarily hip hop, with elements of soul, and Caribbean music (particularly reggae).The members of the group are leader/rapper/producer Wyclef Jean, rapper/singer Lauryn Hill, and rapper Pras Michel. The Fugees are not the only group thwarted by the challenges of putting on a live show during the omicron surge.
Hill went on to record The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, which won five Grammys, while Jean and Michel both released several solo projects. The album, featuring hit singles Ready or Not and Killing Me Softly, was also a commercial smash, selling over 22m copies worldwide. The Score, released to critical acclaim in 1996, earned two Grammy awards and made the Fugees the first hip-hop group to be nominated for album of the year. “We’re grateful for the special night we did get to share with you in New York, with that rare live moment,” they said in the statement, but concluded it “may not currently be our time for revisiting this past work”.
A seven-date North American run will kicks November. The 12-city tour, announced in September 2021, was heralded with a concert in New York (that started, in typical Fugees fashion, three and half hours late), the group’s first in 15 years. In a surprise announcement, The Fugees have announced an international tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their 1996 classic, The Score.
