Okay. Firstly, I’ve been a pretty big fan of Gil for years. Secondly, I tend to be sceptical at best of remix albums, which could come down to my own musical snobbery. However, Jamie XX’s treatment of Gil’s 2010 record I’m New Here (which, by the way, is well worth checking out) is not, from all reports, the horror that it could be. It’s full of sparse hip-hop/dubstep beats and uses Gil’s voice more like an instrument than a focal point. If it helps introduce a younger generation to Gil, that’s got to be a good thing.
