The Streets' Twitter boost
Friday, 10 July 2009
Mike Skinner says debuting his new songs online has given him more confidence.
The Streets frontman is currently working on his fifth - and final - album, 'Computer and Blues', and says it has been much easier than previous efforts because of the response he has received when sharing the tracks through his Twitter page.
He said: "I've done loads of songs. I probably need to nail about four or five more and it just feels really easy, compared with all the other albums, because you get a confidence much earlier on in the process by just throwing it out there.
"They were only demos really, because I didn't know whether they were good enough.
"It just feels really easy, compared with all the other albums."
Following the end of the band, Mike already has his eye on his next venture - making movies.
He added: "I feel great. The Streets is a certain part of who I am really, but I think I'd like to modify that with new projects. "I'd like to write a film.
"We've been doing a lot of music videos, TV stuff so we've kind of got a little team going on that I'd like to channel into a short film and then feature length."
