The Escapist by The Streets
Opening with a shimmering instrumental driven by swelling strings and a steady, understated beat, the song immediately evokes a sense of space and possibility. The Streets may be an acquired taste for some, but Skinner’s delivery in this song is restrained and impactful, almost conversational, as he reflects on the need to break free from the trappings of modern life.
