Gil Scott-Heron probably had to smile a bit last year when he was at the Brit Awards with 61 years as the best Newcomer was nominated. Probably, the organizers have their album entitled "I'm New Here" simply taken too literally. The fact is that you the seasoned man after his 13-year absence from the music business, in part because of Dorgensucht or because of various stays in prison, rather the prize for the best just to get even the complete ruin of the artists who had fled. Earlier this year, was then boss of the giant XL label the wonderful idea to have the album remixed by far the oldest of his well-musician from one of the youngest. And that is none other than Jamie Smith , along with his band The xx in 2009, gained world fame and proved he knows how to create an inimitable atmosphere. What comes out is a motley mix of Soul, Funk, Electro, Minimal, Dubstep, and Deep House. It takes getting used to for sure, but if you look at something purely hear more impressive!
The album is called "We're New Here" and appeared today (Feb 21) . Some songs can you also on the website - http://www.werenewhere.com/ - buy, including what we want to introduce you today:
