The infamous Lauryn Hill continues to add more dates to her “Moving Target: Extended Intimate Playdate” tour.
After taken a hiatus from the music industry, the recovering songstress has added 12 more performance dates to her coming-back-out trek in addition to the recent festivals she appeared at on the West Coast.
Ms. Hill reveals in a statement, “I’ve never shied away from being musically adventurous, nor am I known for being a lightweight when it comes to lyrical content or musical exploration.”

“Getting back out there to perform is a lot like resuming a strenuous sport after having been away from it for a while, but eventually the muscle-memory kicks in and each day brings progressive strength,” says Hill.
