Music:Member Since: 1/22/2006Band Website: skyewebsite.com Band Members: Me Influences: Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, Bjork, Sade, John Martyn Sounds Like: Yummy. Chocolate. Billboard Magazine Aug 2006 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. As the former lead singer of British act Morcheeba, she helped usher in the trip-hop movement of the mid-'90s. After waving goodbye to that group, Skye 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. By Michael Paoletta New York Magazine Aug 2006 Austere, warm, and direct, Skyes new disc plays like the long-lost follow-up to Morcheebas 1998 classic, Big Calm. That disc perfected melodic trip-hop, but Skye, the lead singer on four Morcheeba recordings, here advances the sound on her own, making it more intimate and plaintive. Her songs are like conversations with a friend who knows her way around but is self-confident enough to admit her mistakes. The sound wraps Skyes amiable rasp in a delicate backdrop of strings and keyboards, and the track produced by Daniel Lanois is his best work since Emmylou Harriss Wrecking Ball.
