Jamie XX + Adele & Gil Scott-Heron

As I mentioned before, I found 2010 to be a pretty miserable year in music. Luckily, it seems like 2011 might have a chance at blowing last year away in just the first few months. Coming very soon will be new records from the following:

Arctic Monkeys
Glasvegas
The Duke Spirit
The Streets
Sons and Daughters
Beady Eye
The Strokes

Now, that is just an amazing line up with some fabulous pedigree and a very good chance at some great music. In fact, this gem has already made its way to the stores/charts:

Adele- Rolling In The Deep (Jamie XX Shuffle)


In one fell swoop, Adele and jamie of the XX have beaten almost all of 2010's releases. Bodes well for the next 12 months, methinks.

But that also got me thinking about another Jamie XX release coming in the next month. Gil Scott-Heron's 2010 record is getting a full remix treatment by the UK's latest most sought after producer. And from what I have heard, it seems destined to cement 2011 as Jamie's year.
