Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie from the XX have collab'ed on a remix album of Scott-Heron's recent 'I'm New Here' disc. First single out will be 'NY is Killing Me' which is up on the duo's website to be checked out. It's kind of dubsteppy, with some pleasant bleeps and samples throughout but not really mind-blowing. See what you think.
Yeah I heard they were gonna do this and I'm glad they have although I don't think much of this track. What's with the cheesy echoes and other such nonsense? Would've been better off not messing with the vocals and just changing the music.
ReplyDeletei told you man, dubstep is a big deal. though i don't think the xx can do dubstep.
ReplyDeletei did a double take when i saw this - gil scott-heron and the xx? strange.
i think they're on the same record label
