He strings thoughts together from one track to the next in a neutral light, removed from the situation by the ever calm voice of reason. It’s not an opinion or feeling, but an observation of behaviours. With all of the messages and stories to be found in ‘The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light’ - Each Day Gives is touted as nostalgic and mindful, revolving around social media, while Funny Dream delves into drunken lust - Skinner’s acknowledgement of them is just that. “It’s part of human nature to hate the man you’ve hurt,” he intones over a skittering beat and urgent keyboard stabs. His searching monotone is key to the framing of his observations across 15 tracks that place him in different musical spaces.Īmid the urgency of Troubled Waters’ instrumental, the calmness in Skinner's voice is grounding.

His vocal delivery remains as offbeat as ever and his distinctive style is comfortably the most remarkable attribute of his new album. 1 2 The album features guest appearances from Benny the Butcher, Clay Dub, DMX, Dyce Payne, Jeremih, Oswin Benjamin, T-Pain. It was released on Augthrough D-Block and Roc Nation. A couple of decades on, it’s remarkable how vibrant Skinner’s whole approach still is. Living Off Xperience is the fourth studio album by American hip hop group The Lox. When we think of The Streets, the artwork for 2002’s ‘Original Pirate Material’ is at the forefront, with a deadpan “lockdown your aerial” not far behind. On ‘The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light’ he shows his words have lost none of their potency. Mike Skinner, clipper lighter aficionado, DJ and the mind behind The Streets, has been slipping in and out of the zeitgeist for decades, soundtracking lost nights and reflective mornings.
