About this album
We're New Here is a striking reimagining of Gil Scott-Heron’s late-career return, pairing his weathered spoken-sung delivery with Jamie xx’s lean electronic production. Built from the material of I’m New Here, the album reframes Scott-Heron’s songs through UK garage, dubstep and electro textures, giving them a darker, more contemporary urgency without losing their political and personal weight. Released in 2011, it confirmed Scott-Heron’s influence across generations and showed how his confessional writing could be transformed for a new era. The result is one of the most distinctive artist-and-producer collaborations of its time.
