When Curtis Mayfield released what would be his last album in 1997, New World Order, the most outstanding track on the album for me was “Here But I’m Gone”. The track was produced by Organized Noize, who contributed a few tracks to the album. It was amazing, it showed Curtis’ ability to reflect on the depth of humanity even after being paralyzed. The played the track non-stop for months. Being a Bjork fan, when the Mod Squad soundtrack came out a couple years later and finding out it had a remix to “Alarm Call” which was previously unavailable I decided to pick it up. And to my surprise the Curtis song was included on the soundtrack, however this time Ms Lauryn Hill had lent a contribution. So how do you make a great song even better? You add one of the most dynamic and talented female vocalists and emcees of our time to the mix. Curtis Mayfield + Organized Noize + Lauryn Hill = pure musical magic……
