The suppression of high-pT single-hadron spectra in heavy-ion collisions is usually interpreted as due to parton energy-loss of high-momentum quarks and gluons propagating in the plasma. Here, we discuss to what extent this partonic picture must be complemented by a picture of medium-modified hadronization. In particular, we show how color-exchange with the medium modifies the properties of color singlet-clusters arising from the parton branchings, producing a softening of the hadron spectra.
