Calling on her obvious comprehension of an expansive range of music, Hill deftly moves through moods and influences, sometimes transforming a song in a mere moment.

Most R&B albums nowadays are terribly rushed together efforts, with 2 or 3 singles and 20 tracks of filler. This, on the other hand, is a rare thing nowadays - an R&B album that actually stands up as a whole, and as such, will be remembered for a long, long time.

o único álbum de estúdio da artista permanece atemporal, lendário e uma inspiração pra vários artistas.
This is the ultimate form of R&B. Breath-taking, luscious vocals covering similarly expansive instrumentation from an artist at the height of her artistic faculties contributes to The Miseducation being as timeless today as it was 20 years ago. Most remarkably, The Miseducation is never grandiose for the sake of being grandiose - it is an authentic portrayal of the thoughts and troubles of a singular figure in the music scene, and its sincerity and authenticity elevate the album to new ... read more
