The Streets “Trust Me” (Twitter Single)
Mike Skinner’s voice transmits a swagger that gives him the freedom to stumble through the some of the sketchiest lyrics at times, while still coming out sparkling. Taking that into consideration, his promise to release three original tracks in three days via his Twitter account still seemed like an undertaking best left for someone a little less prone to spend his days and nights in pubs.
“AND BACK IN THE PUB WITHIN 2 HOURS!” reads his celebratory message today as he completed his second song, the disco-house “Trust Me.” “I see Alice in Wonderland, I see malice in Sunderland.” The amusing yet scrambled line is repeated throughout at the lead into the song’s makeshift chorus, but for someone who has historically taken two years in between albums it comes off as surprisingly substantial. Even if the lyrics are a bit tricky to make sense of.
I haven’t talked to anyone yet who likes this track,except for me.
I think they’re trying to stretch to avoid pijjin-holing.
Finally, a streets song that sounds like a streets song. Word is the next album is meant to be “ravey” and trust me reminds me of something that might have been on OPM. I think it’s seriously nice
“a streets song that sounds like a streets song” — yeah, you’re right, might be one of the last one of those we hear for a while. Too bad, too… Skinner is best when he focuses on songs like this, though who are we to say what’s best for the guy

had you said you have a picture of Skinner on your ceiling above your bed… that’d be a bit weird.
