Skye

As the resident vocalist of trip-hop group Morcheeba, Skye Edwards' instantly recognizable, smooth delivery was crucial to the band's success. But after its fourth album, the group decided to take a sabbatical, leaving Edwards with plenty of time to pursue a solo project. Retreating to Los Angeles, she began production and songwriting for a solo album and sketched out several tracks with the help of friends. With almost a full album in hand, she had a chance encounter with legendary producer Daniel Lanois, which resulted in several collaborations. After much refining and tweaking in Edwards' native London, Mind How You Go was released in the fall of 2006 under her now shortened moniker, Skye. ~ Rob Theakston
