“It has been seven long years working on this film and album,” Skinner said in a statement. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and after dipping my toe in with some shorts and music videos, I felt I was ready. I tried to go the traditional route for a bit,...

“Is It True” is the sixth single from The Slow Rush, following “Borderline,” “It Might Be Time,” “Posthumous Forgiveness,” “Lost in Yesterday” and “Breathe Deeply.” The album, released this past February, became Tame...

The Streets has released a music video for “None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive,” the title track from his new mixtape that also features British punk band Idles.
Directed by Rollo Jackson, the visual features Mike Skinner and Idles frontman Joe Talbot on an existential journey through a surreal wilderness. “I don’t like my country, it’s more of an addiction/The way girls fixate and pore over lip gloss,” Skinner raps in his typical coy style. “I’m hard to love, I make idiot...

ed got a galway girl tattoo and it actually says 'galway grill' :)) pic.twitter.com/yQ0jUSJZVY - amy ÷ (@leg0_h0use) April 16, 2017 Ed Sheeran's vast collection of tattoos just got a little more colorful. In addition to the giant lion he has on his chest and the big lizard on his arm, the British singer-songwriter now has a typo of one of his latest hits, "Galway Girl."
