Mike Skinner has been talking to NME about the new Streets album, revealing that the new long-player, set for release on 11 Apr, is to be called 'The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living'. Skinner says the new album, like 'A Grand Don't Come For Free', is loosely based on his own life.
He said: "It isn't a narrative. But to be honest I don't think I could write an album without feeling like there are plots going on. Actually this album is a true story. After 'A Grand Don't Come For Free' I was like, 'What am I going to write about?' I can't moan I've not got no money any more, but then it gradually dawned on me that my life is so crazy! You'd never believe some of the stuff that's happened to me along the way in countries far away."
Skinner also said that he wanted Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani to guest on the new LP, saying: "I've spoken to loads of people - it could prove difficult. Maybe on the next album we'll do it, but it's definitely an idea I'd like to pursue."
