It was originally reported that Skinner said that the fifth record would be similar to Lou Reed's Berlin.[6] He later stated in a blog that he was misquoted, and that the album would sound like the city ofBerlin, not the album by Reed. He went on, saying that the album will be "ravey".[7]

"The final Streets album (the fifth one) will be dark and futuristic. This could not be further from the album you're about to hear, but it's what is on my mind at the moment. I feel inspired by the synthesizer exhibition we just visited in Graz [Austria] after the gig we just did."[6]

On 6 August 2008, Skinner stated on his MySpace blog that the title of the final Streets record will be Computers and Blues, and that it will likely not be released for at least two years.[8] He has repeatedly stated that it will be the last Streets album, remarking that he is "fucking sick" of the name and connotations that come along with it.[9] In a Beat Stevie episode where he describes the making of Everything Is Borrowed, Skinner says that the final Streets album will be "one more banger" and will be "dancing music to drink tea to".[10]

On 14 April 2010, Skinner announced that the first single from the album would be "I Love Phones" which will be released in July 2010. Skinner also stated that a single he recorded with rapper Giggsnamed "Slow Songs" would be included on the album and will be released in August 2010.[11]
