18/05/2004 | Happy Release Day 2004 | The Streets - A Grand Don't Come for Free Atlantic | Vice #thestreets #mikeskinner #atlanticrecords #vicerecords @thestreetsband @mikeskinnerltd @atlanticrecords @vice_records Pitchfork: „Considering that Skinner showed such a gift for post-laddish humor on Original Pirate Material, the most surprising aspect of A Grand may be that, here, he's at his best when he's at his most sentimental. „ The Guardian: „A Grand Don't Come for Free tells a story, complete with interwoven themes and characters. Its plot, however, is mercifully unlikely to lend itself to a stage musical or a film directed by Ken Russell. „
 „The whole album is so lyrically skilful and emotionally endearing that it allows Skinner to get away with murder at the finale.“ Allmusic: „Confronting doubts about his seriousness and squashing whispers about his talent, Skinner has made a sophomore record that expands on what distinguishes the Streets from any other act in music.“ NME: „His talent is as an observer, a chronicler, and – oh bollocks, the broadsheets were right – a poet.“ Uncut: „An essential listen for anyone interested in where music might take them.“ RA: „A street poet that can articulate a story and an idea with just a bear wit and a mic in hand, but other than that, Mike Skinner is no Eminem – Marshall Mathers is Eminem and Mike Skinner is The Streets. „ „More real than any other musical artist in his time currently, The Streets is igniting the sounds of Garage once again in the mainstream.“ BBC: „The soundtrack, meanwhile, has moved away from Skinner's UK garage and hip hop origins and takes in everything from soul, dance and chillout to rock and anything else he fancies.“ Slant: „A Grand Don’t Come for Free is sensationally cinematic.“ „Pissed, drunk, high, self-deprecating—whatever the mood, his protag struggles to accept friends, himself, and the end of a bad relationship.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtLZ-5MFOV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bereits vor einigen Tagen teaserten The Streets aka Mike Skinner eine Zusammenarbeit mit Tame Impala an. Der Track ist ein Vorbote vom neuen The Streets Mixtape, welches demnächst erscheinen wird. Gedreht wurde das Video mit Mike Skinner in den Alpen und anschließend in L.A., wo sich Kevin Parker von Tame Impala befand - kurz vor dem Lockdown. Ebenfalls sind im Video auch alle mit dabei, die auf dem kommenden Mixtape vertreten sein werden.             Sieh dir diesen Beitrag auf Instagram an                     THE STREETS X TAME IMPALA coming soon!!
