New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Lauryn Hill has signed a record contract with Sony, and plans to release five new songs in advance of a full-length studio effort.
On Saturday, she shared was forced to release the first of these new songs in the form "Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)".
As Hill explained in a note posted on Tumblr: Here is a link to a piece that I was 'required' to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there. In light of Wednesday's tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly), I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today's unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!
The track is available now on iTunes.
