MIND HOW YOU GO - SKYE
Tastemakers know the voice; it’s the stuff dreams are made of. Incredibly cool, yet oh-so-warm, it is like no other. The voice belongs to Skye Edwards. As the former lead singer of British act Morcheeba, Edwards helped usher in the trip-hop movement of the mid-’90s. After waving goodbye to that group, she ushers in her solo career with “Mind How You Go,” an album that is subtle and sparse but beautifully layered; as electronic as it is unplugged. “Tell Me About Your Day,” an ode to New Orleans, is filtered through blue skies, while the chorus-less “What’s Wrong With Me” is decidedly gray. Other choice cuts include “Powerful,” “Calling,” “Stop Complaining” and “Love Show.” A co-write with Daniel Lanois, “Jamaica Days,” reflects upon Skye’s roots. Billboard
