Milton, Jamie (4 August 2008), Muse: 'Collaboration with the Streets Result of a Late Night Jam Session' , Gig Wise , retrieved 4 August 2008 Everything Is Borrowed is the fourth studio album by English rapper and producer Mike Skinner, under the music project The Streets. Released in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2008, [1] and in the United States on 7 October 2008, [2] Skinner describes the album as a "peaceful coming to terms album" [3] and as containing "peaceful positive vibes" which stand in stark contrast to the previous album, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living, [4] which Skinner has described as a "guilt-ridden indulgence".

"CD: Urban review: The Streets, Everything Is Borrowed". The Guardian. London.Mike Skinner – vocals, arrangement, composition, mixing, keyboards, synthesizers (1994–2011; 2017–present) Skinner returned to discuss his own life on The Hardest Way To Make A Living, a project which sees him balance the trials and tribulations that come from being a star with a burgeoning penchant for drugs and women. Burning through his cash like no tomorrow through his record label and sports betting, Skinner was offering a totally unique look at life in the spotlight. Just like his debut album, the music was autobiographical and to hear one of the biggest artists in Britain being so frank about their life was a breath of fresh air. Skinner later followed this up with Everything Is Borrowed, a more emotive project which sees Skinner searching from within after becoming a father and, tragically, losing his own.

I've pretty much kept my promise that I made to myself not to reference modern life on any of them though which is hard to do and keep things personal at the same time."

The album was successful both with critics and the general public. In the UK, the album was nominated for the Mercury Prize. [7] Original Pirate Material was nominated for British Album of the Year, and The Streets was nominated for British Urban Act, British Breakthrough Act and British Male Solo Artist at the 2003 BRIT Awards.

This is a comprehensive listing of official releases by the British music act The Streets. The Streets released six studio albums, two mixtapes, one EP and thirty-three singles.The fourth album by genre-bending UK rap act The Streets was the succinct Everything Is Borrowed. Though mixed by UK garage legend Mike Millrain, who had also played a part in the group’s third record, 2006’s The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living, it is almost completely dislocated from their garage roots, featuring as it does the Czech FILMharmonic Orchestra alongside busy British harpist Camilla Pay. While The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living had wrapped up the tale of Mike Skinner’s time in music to date – sometimes in grim detail – it also laid the groundwork for him to expand into broader matters in his inimitable, relatable way. Released on 15 September 2008 in the UK, and following on 7 October in the US, Everything Is Borrowed saw Skinner reflecting upon the maturation of Generation X, and its thematic content is even more relevant now than on first release. Listen to ‘Everything Is Borrowed’ here. One of the only things more nauseating than being gabbled at by a drug abuser about the deep, neverending possibilites of life is being lectured by a reformed drug abuser about the deep, neverending mysteries of life. The thing about drugs (or drinking, or being a promiscuous sleazebag, or whatever)is that it’s all so specific to the person – dependent on age, state of mind, tolerance… of course in general they’re all bad, destructive, ultimately empty experiences. Everyone knows that. Morgan Nicholls – bass guitar, guitar, percussion, programing piano, synthesizers (2003–2005; 2008) The Streets is an English musical project led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Skinner. The project was founded in the early 90s, while Skinner was still a teenager; however, no music would formally eventuate until the early 2000s. In the initial run of The Streets, the project released five studio albums: Original Pirate Material (2002), A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed (2008) and Computers and Blues (2011). The Streets also released a string of successful singles during this time, which reached the Top 40 on the UK Singles chart – including " Has It Come to This?", " Fit but You Know It", " Dry Your Eyes" (the project's only number-one single), " When You Wasn't Famous" and " Prangin' Out". After disbanding The Streets in 2011, Skinner pursued several other musical projects before ultimately reviving the moniker in 2017. A mixtape, None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive, was released in 2020. The Streets' sixth studio album, The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light, was released in September 2023.
