The Streets' Mike Skinner: I Should Have Moved On A Long Time Ago

January 4, 2011
The Streets' Mike Skinner: I Should Have Moved On A Long Time AgoThe Streets' Mike Skinner has revealed that he wanted to finish the band a long time ago.

The new album 'Computers And Blues', set for release February 7, will be the band's fifth and final effort.

"I signed a five-album deal, so the economics of The Streets really shaped it as much as my inspiration," Skinner told The Observer.

"It would be silly to end The Streets on the fourth album and then make another just to satisfy a deal, or to do six albums and do five of them on Warner and one of them independently."

He added: "I think it would devalue it to say that it was cynical but I know what I'm doing with The Streets - I've been doing it for too long... I don't want to do The Streets anymore. I should have moved on a long time ago."

Meanwhile, The Streets announced details of a UK tour in support of the album.
