23: JAMIE XX & GIL SCOTT-HERON
Sure, ‘NY is Killing Me’ became annoyingly inescapable, but it wasn’t even close to the best track on this often sublime remix package of material from Gil Scott-Heron’s downtrodden final album I’m New Here. Not when competing with the shimmering ‘We’re New Here’, the gently rocking ‘My Cloud’ or ‘I’ll Take Care of U’, a piano anthem for another world that Drake and Rihanna saw fit to reinterpret on the former’s Take Care.
