Fifty-word review
6.1 out of 10
Unlike the recent spate of cross-generational collaborations, We’re New Here offers a singular artistic interpretation. Jamie XX transforms Gil Scott-Heron’s moody, conversational 2010 release (and some back catalog) in his image, deftly accentuating the murmuring anxiety he creates by suppressing Scott-Heron’s beat blues earnestness beneath shimmering keyboards and samples.
