Mike Skinner leading The Streets at Parklife 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Mike Skinner has offered up more from his upcoming Streets mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive.
After sharing his collaboration with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala on Call My Phone Thinking I’m Doing Nothing Better back in April, the ‘rap duets’ concept is in full flow again here on I Wish You Loved You As Much As You Love Him, which features Donae’o and Greentea Peng. Joe Talbot of Idles, Hak Baker and Ms. Banks are three more who’ll be heard on the mixtape.
Skinner also recently served up the lockdown summation of Where The F*&K Did April Go?, which won’t be featuring on the mixtape but which has already done its job succinctly. “I wrote this last week,” Skinner revealed.
“It’s a weird time isn’t it. We were looking forward to the summer just like everyone else, festivals and gigs all there, new music, new stage set – but this has taken the wind from everyone’s sails. And none of us know quite how to cope with it all. I just wrote a tune the same way other people might talk to a therapist.”
