Beyoncé: “Superpower” (93% feel-match); Tyler, the Creator: “Rusty” (93% feel-match); Childish Gambino: “Flight of the Navigator” (93% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Lauryn Hill centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Lauryn Hill overall?
Across 17 measured songs, Lauryn Hill averages 42/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
