Open letter...

Dear Lauryn Hill,

Hey! How are you doing and how are all those kids? I thought I would drop you a line and see if you caught a glimpse of Maxwell on the BET Awards a few days ago. Grrrrrrl! he was fantastic, looks, voice, smoothness, all intact. If you missed it check my older posts because I posted his performance. I could go on about him all day, but that is not why I decided to reach out to you. I was thinking about you after listening to the "Miseducation" the other day and marveling at how great that album still is today. It is still as relevant and musically on point as it was when it was released in 1998, to be exact it will be 10 years ago this coming August, but you probably know that. You deserved every single Grammy you won. Anyway, the point is when are you coming back, if Maxwell could do it surely you can. Hell, look a Mary (MJB) she's like a new person. There are some interesting sisters out there giving us good music, Chrisette Michelle, Ledisi, Leela James and Alicia Keys to name a few, but there is still a place for your voice, your poetry. Now as a working mother I feel you on the issue of juggling kids and career but it can be done. I know you came back once before, but lets be real, you weren't ready then but know feels like it could be the right time. 10 years under your belt, life's trial and tribulations, relationships, kids-you must have something to say. Well, I guess there isn't much more to say except you are missed and I hope to hear you again soon.

Best,
K.

Maybe I will have another opinion to share soon...Be well.
