Gil Scott-Heron regained all of our attention with that video for “Me and The Devil” and the news of his new album, I’m New Here (his first album in 15 years). In a week (Feb. 9th) the LP will be hitting shelves. The first single gave the feel of a very different Gil, and now you can check out a stream of the full album and decide for yourself. If you’re feelin’ what you hear make sure you go out and buy I’m New Here next week.

On the very first track, “On Coming From A Broken Home”  he commandeers the instrumental to Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights.”  This will get bought.

    I look forward to purchasing it. Gil Scots a living legend, and doesnt get have the respect he deserves. His music is brilliant, and right up there with Bob Marleys.

    i just listened to the album on here. It sounds like a true resurrection of a musical and lyrical prophet. Abstract, yet very meaningful in his wordplay. And the music itself is unlike any i’ve heard before. I will definitely go buy this album and enjoy it over and over. A masterpiece….. Current “rappers” need to take notes and heed this man.

    Peace & Love

    I AM NOT A FAN, I AM A LONG TIME STUDENT OF GIL-SCOTT-HERONS WORK.THIS PROSE OR INTERLUDE IS HAUNTING IN A UNUSAL WAY.I HOPE TO THE ANCESTORS EVERYDAY THAT SCOTT-HERON IS OK, SAFE, AT PEACE, HAVING AT LEAST ONE GOOD MOMENT OUT OF A GLOOMY AND SURREAL DAY. I WILL PURCHASE THIS, ONLY BECAUSE I SUPPORT THE BROTHERS EFFORT.MUSIC IS DYING AND SOME SAY DEAD ALREADY.MR SCOTT-HERON HAS GIVEN MORE TO MUSIC THAN MANY, AND HE ONCE, WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICES OF REASON AND PURPOSE. I HEAR GLIMPSES AND SNATCHES OF HIS YOUTHFUL FERVOR AND UNWAVERING COMMENTARY ON A SOCIETY GONE WILD.LISTEN TO THIS CAREFULLY AND YOU HEAR A EULOGY WOVEN IN THIS OFFERRING OF HIS.WE ALL COME TO THE SUMMIT OF OUR JOURNEY,I BELIEVE THIS IS A ARTIST WHO IS STANDING ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP GIVING US ONE MORE GLIMPSE AT WHAT WE CAN BE AND NOT WHAT WE ARE. PEACE BROTHER,I HOPE YOU ARE OK.
