Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here

Release Date:02/09/2010;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. 2010 album from the legendary Urban poet/musician, his first release in 13 years. Gil Scott-Heron came to prominence in the late 60s and early 70s and is cited as a supreme influence on countless Hip Hop vocalists and producers. Despite an incredible and influential body of work, he has not released an album since the '90s. Produced by XL label owner Richard Russell, I'm New Here sees Gil reflecting on his life with his trademark vocal power and insight, sharing his visions among Russell's flickering, electronic soundscapes which at various times conjure up thoughts of Burial and the XX, as well as a host of Hip Hop influenced sounds. The album is brave, contemporary and quintessentially Gil Scott-Heron.;Track List:1. On Coming from a Broken Home (Pt. 1);2. Me and the Devil;3. I'm New Here;4. Your Soul and Mine;5.
