The real triumph of We’re New Here is that it doesn’t feel like an album-length remix.
While Smith uses this album as an outlet to explore a variety of different styles, importantly he never loses sight of the source material.
We’re New Here succeeds because it manages to seamlessly reconcile the different traditions from which it draws.
There's a go-for-it quality to Smith's production that suggests fearlessness over reverence.
