Mike Skinner: 'Record Label Had Big Plans For Muse Collaboration'

September 4, 2008
Mike Skinner: 'Record Label Had Big Plans For Muse Collaboration'The Streets' frontman Mike Skinner has revealed that he has no plans to release his recent collaboration with Muse – despite his record labels wishes.

'Who Knows Who', which features Skinner singing and Muse providing the instrumentation, was greeted enthusiastically when it emerged online last month.

But Skinner has now confessed that he has no intention to release the track.

"We did the track and it felt really genuine, but a bit of a laugh as well,” he told the Daily Star.

"Then the label started getting too excited by it, so I fucked it off. I didn't really think it was that good, anyway."

The Streets release their new album, 'Everything Is Borrowed', next month.
