It is undeniable, Urban Music it's the nation's favourite at the moment.
Hip/hop, Rap and R&B are massive at the moment and the charts are 'over-flooded' by its presence...Jessie J, Bruno Mars, Diddy, Willow, Tinie Tempah, Rihanna...the list can continue.
Amongst of all them, The Streets is trying to gain presence again with his new album Computers and Blues, which is an example of a more futuristic urban sound.
It's been almost a decade since Mike Skinner AKA The Streets hit the charts with Has it come to this? and now in 2011 with his fifth album studio, Skinner is aiming to cling on to the top of the charts again.
Computers and Blues reflects what the music in the future might sound, specially urban and electronic music and also shows a Skinner playing along with the all time beloved music, jazz and blues that blends with Rap, Hip-Hop, Garage, Electronic and a witty range of sounds and backing vocals.
The first single Going through hell, just released at the beginning of february, is an example of an innovative and catchy electro-urban song which features Rob Harvey from the alternatives' Leeds based The Music.
Skinner's new single might be the return to the UK charts since, Heaven for the Weather, from his fourth studio album Everything is Borrowed in 2008.
The Streets is planning to take the album on tour around the UK in february and march.
