15 - Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx - We’re New Here
(XL, released 21 February)
Recommended by: Benji B, Nick Grimshaw, 6 Music Album of the Day
“Those approaching this release as fans, exclusively, of either Scott-Heron or The xx might be at a loss, but this collection works on separate level. Whilst I’m New Here marked an introspective turn from Scott-Heron, this set offers a multi-layered retrospective of the music which bore and surrounds Jamie xx. It’s not merely a rehash of the original, but a cohesive, considered masterpiece in its own right.”
