We lowkey lost hope for Lauryn Hill all these years. She’s shown flashes of how great her talent is, but overall, we’re not sure she could ever be the same L-Boogie we once knew. That is until we heard this cover of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” just now. The track is set to be featured on the compilation Nina Revisited: A Tribute to Nina Simone, which will also include songs by Common, Mary J. Blige and Usher. Lauryn has a whopping six records on the CD.
This is all a part of the What Happened, Miss Simone? documentary set to hit Netflix on July 26. After hearing her destroy this track, we’re actually excited to hear what else she did on the remaining records.
Lauryn Hill back?
