We’re New Again : A Reimagining by Makaya McCraven (Vinyl)

To mark the tenth anniversary of the release of I’m New Here, the thirteenth – and last – studio album from the legendary US musician, poet and author Gil Scott-Heron, XL Recordings released a unique reinterpretation of the album by acclaimed US jazz musician Makaya McCraven.

Titled ‘We’re New Again’, the album was released exactly a decade after the release of Scott-Heron’s original Richard Russell-produced recording. It followed in the footsteps of Jamie xx’s highly acclaimed 2011 remix album We’re New Here and will be McCraven’s first release of 2020, following the huge global acclaim heaped upon his 2018 album ‘Universal Beings’.
