Fugees Launch Fugees Hopeline Art Project
The interactive hotline and art project marks 30 years since the release of The Score.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Reggae
The Fugees launched Fugees Hopeline, an interactive art project and hotline for fans, in collaboration with the international public art platform CIRCA. Lauryn Hill made three original collages for the project, which are available as limited-edition prints signed by Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean.
Why it matters
The project ties fan participation to the group's 30th anniversary celebration of The Score in 2026, giving listeners a direct way to engage with the group's catalog and legacy. It also brings the collages to fans as collectible prints, extending the reach of the group's music into visual art.

Industry Dynamics
The project reflects a broader pattern in which legacy music acts mark anniversaries with fan-facing interactive and multimedia releases rather than traditional reissues alone. Pairing a hotline with a visual art collaboration places the Fugees' 1996 album within a growing trend of catalog celebrations that treat fans as contributors.
