Mike Skinner returns with the taster for his forthcoming third album “The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living”. Right from the opening lyrics “See the thing that’s got it all fucked up now is camera phones, how the hell am I supposed to do a line in front of complete strangers, when I know they’ve all got cameras”. The Streets will have you hooked with “When You Wasn’t Famous”, as his witty tales of celebrity shenanigans ride on infectious dancehall rhythms and sea shanty riffs. Remixes come from Prof Green and Doctor & Bearman. With Mike Skinner no matter how much you expect the unexpected, he always manages to deliver an element of surprise. The new album is due next month, watch this space.
