(7/6/01, 6 p.m. ET) -- Singer Lauryn Hill, formerly of the Fugees, made a rare public appearance in Brooklyn on Independence Day (July 4). The singer performed several new songs at the 30th Annual African Arts Festival at Boys & Girls High School in the borough's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.
Hill, accompanied by only her acoustic guitar, performed a cover of Bob Marley & the Wailers' "So Much Things To Say" plus five new songs, including one titled "Mr. Intentional." When fans demanded an encore, Hill performed a song she had just written and read the words from a sheet of paper. No release date has been set for Hill's next album, which will most likely come out in 2002.
Hill withdrew from the public eye following the success of her 1998 album, The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. Rumors have circulated that Hill and Rohan Marley (son of Bob Marley), her boyfriend and father of her two children, had separated, but Marley was present during the Fourth Of July performance.
