Lauryn Hill is back with new music!

The singer is set to release her first solo project in 5 years. The single will appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Queen & Slim. This is Hill’s first solo track since 2014’s Black Rage (Sketch).

According to reports, the Queen & Film soundtrack will be released on

November 15th. Others on the upcoming soundtrack include Vince Staples featuring 6lack X Mereba, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby and more.

Director Melina Matsoukas says:

“I wanted the soundtrack for Queen & Slim to showcase the historical evolution of Black music, from its roots in blues and soul, to modern bounce, hip hop and R&B—much like we used to see in film soundtracks in the 1990s,” she said. “We partnered with Motown because of their legacy within Black music. I am honored to have worked beside Ethiopia and cannot wait for audiences to hear what each artist has created.”
