Soulful songstress Lauryn Hill is out of jail and has already released a new single. She left federal prison in Connecticut a few days short of her 3 month sentence for tax evasion Friday, her lawyer, Nathan Hochman announced. But she's not totally a free woman just yet as she has to remain in home confinement.

Hochman told PEOPLE magazine, "She was released several days early based on a number of factors the Bureau of Prisons takes into consideration, including good behavior. She will now start today a one-year period of probation with three months of home confinement during that year."

She's also ordered to pay penalty fees and the rest of the taxes she owes, which Hochman said she's already paid.

The multi-platinum artist and grammy-award singer plead guilty to not paying her taxes on the $2.3 million she earned from 2005 to 2009. She owed almost $1 million. She told a judge she had every intention to pay, but couldn't because she stopped making music.

Well that's all changed. Hill marked her release from prison by putting out a new single, Consumerism on her Tumblr page. In the song she calls out major issues like ageism, sexism and racism. On her page she says, "Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in... I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it."

This is the first song to be released from her upcoming project Letters From Exile.
