 Nine years after the impact of their 1996 classic, The Score, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras are preparing their third studio album. According to Jean, the first single, “Take It Easy,” will be released in mid-September.
"You've got three individuals that have grown musically," Jean told Rolling Stone. "But we're always on the same page -- that's the magic of the Fugees. The Fugees is a unique situation, the real marriage of the hood and the suburbs together. It's always exciting."
Rolling Stone also reports the yet-to-be-titled album will hearken back to the old-school street-wise flavor of their 1994 debut, Blunted On Reality.
"Our first record that blew up in New York City was called 'Mona Lisa/Nappy Heads,'" Wyclef recalled. "It's like we're going back to the core of where we come from. It's that record, the minute it comes on, you be like, 'Oh, that's what I've been missing!'"
After years of members pursuing various solo projects, the trio have offered scattered reunion appearances over the past year with rumors of a new album surfacing sporadically.
Now, according to Wyclef, "Everybody that's been holding their breath should start letting their breaths go."
A release date for the album has yet to be announced.
