Titled Were New Again, the album will be released on 7th February 2020; exactly a decade after the release of Scott-Herons original Richard Russell-produced recording. Its set to follow in the footsteps of Jamie xxs highly acclaimed 2011 remix album Were New Here and will be McCravens first release of 2020, following the huge global acclaim heaped upon his 2018 album Universal Beings.
