The Streets release new single ‘I Wish You Loved You as Much As You Loved Him’

Mike Skinner has shared the second taste of the upcoming Streets mixtape, None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive. ‘I Wish You Loved You as Much As You Loved Him’ follows the Tame Impala collab ‘Call My Phone Thinking I’m Doing Nothing Better’.

‘I Wish You Loved You’ is The Streets’ third new single of 2020. The coronavirus-inspired ‘Where the F*#K Did April Go’ surfaced in early May. However, it’s not slated to appear on None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive. ‘I Wish You Loved You’ features guest vocals from London MC Donae’o and psychedelic soul artist Greentea Peng. The track marks a return to the UK garage sounds that had a prominent influence on The Streets’ 2002 debut, Original Pirate Material.

None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive is due out on Friday, July 10th. Skinner recently premiered a behind-the-scenes documentary, the title of which describes it as the first Streets mixtape. This either means Skinner’s forgotten about 2011’s Cyberspace and Reds or wants to scrub it from memory.

Either way, the guest list for the upcoming tape warrants plenty of anticipation. Along with Tame Impala, Greentea Peng and Danae’o, Skinner’s joined by Slowthai, Dapz On the Map, Ms Banks and UK punk band IDLES. The record is also set to feature Flohio, Hak Baker, Ragz Originale, Oscar #Worldpeace, Kasien, Jesse James Solomon and Jimothy Lacoste.

None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive is the first long-form release from The Streets since 2011’s Computers and Blues. That was originally tagged as the final Streets album, but Skinner rebooted the project with the singles ‘Burn Bridges’ and ‘Sometimes I Hate My Friends More Than My Enemies’ in 2017. Or as he says in the doc, “I did a thing called The Streets, then I didn’t, then I awoke from my slumber and brought The Streets back.”
