If there is a song from Lauryn Hill’s seminal solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill that you always wanted to hear live but never managed to, here is your chance. The 42-year-old American singer has announced that she will embark on a tour across North America in order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut solo release.

During the tour, which kicks off with a show in Virginia Beach on July 5th, Hill will perform The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in full. She will tour the US and Canada in July, August, and October before finishing off with dates in New Orleans and St. Louis on October 3rd and 5th respectively.

Lauryn Hill started working on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1997 after she finished the tour with her former group Fugees. She was inspired by her romantic relationship with Jamaican entrepreneur Rohan Marley.

The album was released on August 25, 1998, and immediately became a huge hit with both the audience and the critics. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and topped the charts in several other countries. Lauryn Hill earned 10 nominations at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards and won five of them making her the first woman to do so in a single night. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill sold more than 13 million copies worldwide, 8 million in the United States alone.
