THE video to the new single by The Streets Fit But You Know
It can now be seen exclusively at www.the-streets.co.uk
The website will also be the first port of call for further
exclusives charting the return of Mr Mike Skinner.
"I reckon you’re about an eight or a nine, maybe even
nine and a half in four beers’ time."
Mike Skinner, brainchild behind the Original Pirate Material
album of 2002, returns with his first new single in nearly
two years, the girls 'n guitar romp Fit But You Know It, released
April 26.

Taken from the forthcoming album, A Grand Don’t Come
For Free, it sees Mike grab the opportunity to rock out, creating
the track’s glam-rock signature riff on his mate’s Fender
Telecaster.
So, far from a mangled sample from the glam-rock vaults, it provides
an accompaniment to the hectic tale of the holiday chase, itself
assisted by his good friend, Stella, and a fine view of that girl
in the tight blue top.
With an accompanying video that captures the track’s mood
perfectly coming to a channel near you soon, the spirit of The
Streets runs as potent as ever, with ideas as fresh as they come
and sounding as unique and uplifting as those first listens to
OPM proved.
