  "account": "Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean have expressed optimism about the Fugees releasing a new album after nearly 30 years, following their reunion on stage. The band, known for hits like 'Ready or Not', 'Fu-Gee-La', and 'Killing Me Softly', released their last studio album, 'The Score', in 1996. The pair has reunited multiple times recently and recently spoke to BBC News ahead of a major concert in Milton Keynes to mark the album's 30th anniversary. Jean commented that they are \"in an amazing place,\" with Hill agreeing, \"Absolutely.\" They emphasized the importance of energy and love in their music and the relevance of the Fugees' themes today. Despite not confirming a new album, Hill encouraged patience and staying true to their craft, urging young musicians to focus on their music rather than online fame.",
  "summary": "Hill says the band have gone through \"an incredible healing process\", raising the prospect of new music.",
