To celebrate her release from prison, the
singer released a new track for her fans titled “Consumerism” which will be
featured on her upcoming project Letters
From Exile. Along with the new record, there was a message from Lauryn via
her personal Tumblr to talk more about the track:
"Consumerism is part of some material I was trying
to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal
and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side.
Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain
place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural
paradigm as I saw it. I haven’t been able to watch the news too much recently,
so I’m not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind
of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes
what happens. I couldn’t imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I
imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking
it’s level."
- Ms. Lauryn Hill
