Gil Scott-Heron – I'm New Here (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Released just two years before his death in 2011, "I'm New Here" stands as a genuinely unexpected late-career document, Scott-Heron processing decades of hard living, incarceration, and perseverance through spare, haunting production that feels nothing like a comeback record and everything like a reckoning.
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.
