We’re New Here – Gil Scott-Heron And Jamie xx – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

We’re New Here is a rare kind of reinvention—one that honors the spirit of the original while boldly forging new ground. Jamie xx (of The xx fame) meticulously remixes Gil Scott-Heron’s final studio album, transforming the revolutionary poet’s gravelly, reflective vocals into a contemporary electronic landscape. The result is neither a simple update nor a nostalgic tribute; it’s a vibrant conversation across generations. Jamie xx’s rhythmic ingenuity draws out new emotional contours from Scott-Heron’s words, casting them in neon, bass-heavy shadows and fractured melodies. Tracks like ‘NY Is Killing Me’ pulse with urgency, while moments of quiet vulnerability echo through the mix, inviting listeners to reconsider Scott-Heron’s legacy in the context of 21st-century sound. This album is essential for collectors who appreciate the crossroads of spoken word, electronic innovation, and cultural commentary. It is a testament to the enduring relevance of Gil Scott-Heron’s artistry and the creative possibilities that arise when genres and eras collide. For anyone interested in the evolution of modern music, We’re New Here stands as a bold, genre-blurring statement.
