For those of you who have been wanting a new Lauryn Hill vibe that’s reminiscent of her classic Miseducation hits, “Guarding the Gates” will satisfy your thirsts. She may make headlines for problematic behavior as it pertains to getting to her live shows on time, but when Ms. Hill steps in the booth, she knows how to belt out a record.

Quotable Lyrics

All that you could be is a spectacle
Following after every single miracle
Watch them marvel at
All the joy you have
But they’re too important to have all the joy you have
What a tragedy, you can laugh at me, you can laugh at me
But I’m in love (I’m in love)
