I'm New Here - Gil Scott-Heron

Product Description:

"In the week that NME announced its 50 best records of the past decade, I heard one of the next decade's best. I admit this is an outrageous claim, especially in a world saturated with statements about what's fresh and hot. But when the album I'm talking about twists a 21st century phenomenon in a refreshing way, and redirects it towards a rather interesting future, I think polemic is necessary." Jude Rogers, The Guardian.

Produced by XL label owner Richard Russell, "Im New Here" is Scott-Heron's first album in thirteen years.

"I'm New Here" sees Scott-Heron reflecting on his life with his trademark vocal power and insight, sharing his visions among Russell's flickering, electronic soundscapes.

The pair started recording the album in 2007, with the majority of the record being recorded over the last twelve months in New York at Clinton Studios.
