Everything Is Borrowed

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".

[6] In the months leading up to the album's release, "The Escapist" was offered online as a free download, accompanied by a music video.

"[12] Everything Is Borrowed is the penultimate album from The Streets; Skinner has said that he signed a five-record deal, and that he always envisioned a five-album box set.

[12] Eight music videos were made for the album, culminating with "On the Edge of a Cliff" being released on 7 April 2009 (videos were not made for "The Sherry End", "Alleged Legends" and "The Strongest Person I Know").
