As I enthused last week I’m New Here is Gil Scott-Heron’s first new album in 16 years and I described it as “a mix of spoken word, futuristic blues, dark-stained socio-political life and poetic ruminations. The man above still sounds as inspired and god-damn urgent as ever.” Amen.
Listen for yourself after the jump.

New video shot in India from the new album I Speak Because I Can from the now-brunette Marling. The album is released in mid-March. Judging by this, her music has gone in a more pronounced English folk direction.
If you’ve been following this mysterious viral video story, here’s another video that debuted today. We get more shots of limbs in trees and in a new development a drawing of a goat?!!!
It turns out that the three previous videos had copyrighted video footage of a Goat birth, an owl and Whale so they have now been replaced. Oh and the title from simple code translates as CH AG – E.D.U.C.A.T.I.O.N.A.L. Here are the three videos again:
Erykah Badu is finally following up her New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War with Part Two or specifically New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh. The album is due out at the end of March and features production by Badu and people like Madlib, J Dilla, Shafiq Husayn of SA-RA Creative Partners and Georgia Anne Muldrow.
Last week, ‘Jump In The Air’ featuring Lil Wayne a track that was purported to feature on the album but now is only a web-only cut leaked in high quality. If this is a bonus cut, Part II is now even more anticipated.
If the videos disappears from Youtube, there’s a Flash video with the song on Badu’s site.
