Mike Skinner – the poet, DJ, and performer behind The Streets<\/a> – is back with \u2018Utopia\u2019, an existential new track that explores the inherent impossibility of perfection. <\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t make utopia – that\u2019s the point,\u201d Skinner has said of the single. \u201cIt\u2019s about acting in the here and now, there isn\u2019t an ideal endgame – we\u2019re not waiting for perfection. We just have to move and keep moving and find the good in what surrounds us, as brutal(ist) as that may be.\u201d<\/p>\n Written between shows while on tour around Europe, \u2018Utopia\u2019 has arrived accompanied by an arresting video which collages together footage of brutalist buildings and scenes around the continent, including London\u2019s National Theatre, Berlin\u2019s Checkpoint Charlie, Vienna\u2019s Wotruba Church and more. <\/p>\n The new song follows The Streets\u2019 2023 album \u2018The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light\u2019<\/a> (which also dropped on YouTube as a feature film<\/a> earlier this year), and arrives ahead of a major touring announcement for 2026 (details are still TBC, so watch this space!). <\/p>\n Check out \u2018Utopia\u2019 for yourself here: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source diymag.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mike Skinner – the poet, DJ, and performer behind The Streets – is back with \u2018Utopia\u2019, an existential new track that explores the inherent impossibility of perfection. \u201cYou can\u2019t make utopia – that\u2019s the point,\u201d Skinner has said of the single. \u201cIt\u2019s about acting in the here and now, there isn\u2019t an ideal endgame – […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2044480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25179],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2044479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Streets-Mike-Skinner-drops-meditative-new-single-Utopia-alongside.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2044479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2044480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2044479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2044479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2044479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
