In the midst of touring and solo work, Jamie xx from The xx has remixed thirteen songs from Gil Scott-Heron's I'm New Here. Switching up the pronoun to make it We're New Here, Jamie xx adds an echoing, deep, soulfulness that is trademark The xx without being too . . . melancholy.
"NY is Killing Me" is our first taste of the February 21 release, and though brooding and vast, carries tones of engagement that does what a blues song usually does: makes the emotion your own.
