Lupe Fuentes Gets Miseducated

Electronic artist Lupe Fuentes told us about her love for the classic, ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.’

Lupe Fuentes: It’s a profound invitation into a black woman’s mind breaking society’s chains. Every song in this album takes you on a journey. The stories are so deep and relatable. They’re about love, pain, survival, and power dynamics.

Lauryn Hill has always fascinated me as an artist and as a thinker, a woman living and speaking authentically. Not a lot of people are that brave.

Ruffhouse/Columbia

This album was on repeat during my divorce in 2020. I have many memories of listening to it in my car, being in extreme pain, and feeling free simultaneously. Sometimes the universe talks to you through music. That’s why it is so powerful. 

Lupe Fuentes’ new single “DIP” is out now.
