The Streets Share Official Video For New Single ‘I Wish You Loved You As Much As You Love Him’ feat. Donae’o & Greentea Peng

Taken From The Mixtape ‘None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive’
Featuring Idles, Hak Baker, Ms Banks + Many More Out 10th July On Island Records

Mike Skinner has shared the official video to his new single ‘I Wish You Loved You As Much As You Love Him ft. Donae’o & Greentea Peng‘ – the second track from his forthcoming mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive. Made entirely by Mike himself, the video is a multi-faceted visual shot with an unmistakably British backdrop, featuring the two artists with whom he wrote the single.

He says, “This video took me 6 weeks to make! I learned a new skill on this lockdown”. Previously talking about the track, which premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, Mike explained, “This is a summer club song. Knowing that Donae’o is the king of UK Funky music – match made in heaven.  Greentea Peng was the perfect foil for this, her melodies are unique and she’s wicked“.  

The original plan had been to release a TONGA album (the balloon filled rap, grime and dubstep party by Mike and Murkage Dave, which had been a series of shoobs to remember). Copenhagen to Manchester to Berlin. Brum to Brixton. Usually arriving with a coterie of legendary UK figureheads and gobby upcomers in tow, like Kano, GiggsJammer or Jaykae, the pulsating essence of the nights needed to be immortalised.  But as night moved to day, and day moved along to night, it… just didn’t happen. Instead, a new mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive steps up to take its place.

Recorded between work on the accompanying film to The Streets new album, it is the unpredictable sonic continuation of those parties. Taking in UK Funky and twilight zone UK rap, and with guest spots ranging from Grammy nominated psychedelia sovereign Tame Impala to cult south London rapper Jesse James Solomon, as well as 2019’s key-fiend-friendly drum’n’bass collab with Chris LorenzoNone Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive is the most eclectic and highly collaborative collection of songs from The Streets yet. Or as Mike puts it with characteristic distinction: “it’s really just a rap duets album.”

The inclusion of, say, Mercury Prize nominated punk group IDLES (who perform what Mike describes as a sea-shanty tinged track inspired by an overnight ferry to Dover) and teenage wünderkind Jimothy Lacoste help ground things firmly in the here and now. But there are familiar faces of the past too. Birmingham legend, Dapz On The Map, pops up on merky rap track ‘Phone Is Always In My Hand‘. While Rob Harvey, previously of The Music and Skinner collaboration The D.O.T, tunes into pensive penultimate track ‘Conspiracy Theory Freestyle’.
