Lauryn Hill To Record New Studio Album To Pay Her Back Taxes

Last studio album released in 1998

Lauryn Hill may be in a boatload of legal troubles, but that isn't stopping her from finally making new music -- and it's time for the world to rejoice.

Hill posted a statement to her official Tumblr account, announcing that she's back in the studio for the first time since 1998's iconic "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." The singer's only album since "Miseducation" has been 2002's "MTV Unplugged No. 2.0," recorded live at the MTV Studios in Times Square the previous year. This will mark her first studio material in 15 years, and fans will surely be anxious to lay down a welcome mat for the former Fugees singer, who has steadily grown more eccentric over the past decade.
