product details & reviews
Jan 2010
Without doubt one of the most important voices in 20th century music, Gil Scott-Heron's unfailingly sharp and ironic eye spared neither Black Power phonies or scheming presidents. In 1971 he laid out the blueprint for the whole rap genre with his slinky anthem 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' while, throughout a career spanning five decades, his deep, soulful voice spoke of nukes, Reaganomics or apartheid, always from deep inside the tradition.
With 'I'm New Here', his first album in 13 years, Gil Scott-Heron sounds as vital as ever; a record that reveals something unexpected at every turn; one that sees Scott-Heron pushing, probing and testing the boundaries just as he always has. Alongside his 'I'm New Here' collaborator – producer and XL Recordings head Richard Russell – Scott-Heron has made an album that eschews the cosy arrangements and retrospective leanings one might expect from an artist over forty years into their career.
