They say the album is dead. It isn’t really, but that doesn’t mean they’re not saying it. Returning ‘ledge’ Mike Skinner might be giving some dues to that premise, too, dropping yet another fresh The Streets track without any evident ‘plan’ vis-à-vis a new ‘full-length’.
‘Boys Will Be Boys’ – not an Ordinary Boys cover, sadly – features Jaykae, and follows up on three previous cuts ‘If You Ever Need To Talk I’m Here’, ‘Burn Bridges’ and ‘Sometimes I Hate My Friends More Than My Enemies’.
Featuring the all time classic line “get loose in the hoose”, you can check out ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ below.
The new music precedes the forthcoming tour “The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light”, which will take place this April across the UK and Europe. The first time The Streets have performed live in seven years.
Maybe Mike broke a mirror or something. Who knows?
