Mike Skinner has claimed that some of the songs on his new album will have a "green" message.

The Streets singer previously admitted the record, titled Everything Is Borrowed, would have a "peaceful, positive vibe".

Speaking about one of the tracks, Skinner told NME: "[I sing] about something quite eco, green, right on, if you get me."

Skinner also revealed that he was struggling to decide on the tracklisting for the LP.

"There's this really fast one. I mean really fast. I'm rapping at about 200 miles an hour, like a happy hardcore MC.

"You have to be there really, but sometimes I think it should go at the beginning like, 'Bang! Here I am - and I'm rapping at 200 miles an hour', but then I feel like it needs to go slap bang in the middle with the other songs of a spiritual leaning."

The follow-up to 2006's The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living is scheduled for release in the autumn.
