"XL Recordings celebrates the 10 year anniversary of the late great Gil Scott-Heron’s final studio recording I’m New Here, prior to his passing in May of 2011, with a re-worked version of the album by visionary Chicago-based composer, producer, and drummer Makaya McCraven, titled We’re New Again. Where the original 2010 album heavily featured Scott-Heron’s deep baritone vocals and poetry, combined with minimal electronic beats by producer Richard Russell, these new renditions have much more of an analog jazz feel, incorporating McCraven’s signature production style of blending together newly recorded instrumental backing grooves with spliced up samples, and re-working it all together in post-production. ..."
