Description
Twenty years on from the debut album Original Pirate Material, which hit the charts in 2002, changing UKG & hip-hop forever, Mike Skinner still finds himself an iconic pioneer of British music. ‘The Darker The Shadow the Brighter The Light’ is the first full album by The Streets since 2011.
The new album has been in the works for 5 years with all songs written by Mike Skinner unlike the previously released 2020 mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive which was a collaborative project. The album is a classic Streets album – filled with Skinners trademark lyrical wizardry and beats honed over a decade of building his other career as a legitimate bass/rap DJ in clubs – all songs written by Skinner but featuring vocal contributions from longtime collaborators Kevin Mark Trail and Robert Harvey, as well as a track featuring Teef.
