One-hit wonders are awfully common, but one-album wonders are a bit more rare. And 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill might be the best example.
This thing was a monster hit, a cultural touchstone, a Grammy winner for Best Album. And it was the last memorable thing Lauryn Hill ever did.
In fact, the only other solo album she ever released was a live recording of her appearance on MTV’s Unplugged. That was in 2002.
This album still holds up very well today. But today’s SOTD, a slow-jam duet with D’Angelo, is probably the worst thing on it. I’ve always had a hard time making it through this repetitive R&B snoozer.
Now the skies could fall
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
Cause nothing even matters, at all
See nothing even matters
See nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
[D’Angelo]
See I don’t need no alcohol
Your love makes me feel ten feet tall
Without it I’d go through withdrawal
Cause nothing even matters, at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
No-thing matters at all
[Lauryn]
These buildings could drift out to sea
Some natural catastrophe
Still there’s no place I’d rather be
Cause nothing even matters to me
See nothing even matters
See nothing even matters to meee
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
[D’Angelo]
You’re part of my identity
I sometimes have a tendency
To look at you religiously
Cause nothing even matters, to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even mat-ters to me
Said it don’t matter, baby baby
Don’t matter
[Lauryn]
Now you won’t find me at no store
I have no time for manicures
With you it’s never either or
Cause nothing even matters, no more
See nothing it don’t matter
See nothing even mahhh-ahhhters no more
Nothing even mahh-ters
Nothing even matters no more
[D’Angelo]
Now my team could score
And make it to the Final Four
Just repossessed my four by four
Cause nothing even matters, no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
No no more
[Lauryn]
To me, to me, to me, to me
To me, to me, to me, to me to me to me
Meet Me In Montauk 
Yes, this one’s a bit draggy, but I still like it.
