Skye Edwards, ever hear her beautiful voice?

I see many threads about female vocalists here on audiogon
but have never seen one about who I consider among the very best, Skye Edwards.

Her voice is liquid smoothness, very natural, soulful and very British.

The genre she performs in is called "Trip Hop", which has only been mentioned here briefly. I find much of this genre to be hypnotic, rythmic and very soothing, just the thing to wind down with at the end of a long day.

A good place to start experincing Skye is her website, but I believe her best work was done with a band called Morcheeba. Unfortunately she is no longer with them so there is no chance to see the combo live.

Hope you enjoy Skye as much as I do,

Ron

I had not heard of Allison. I will definitely look her up. If she is in Skye's league she deserves it.

Big Calm is great by the way and one of my favorites. Two others are Who Can You Trust (an absolute classic IMO) and Charango, all featuring Skye. They are available on Amazon.

I discovered Morcheeba while listening to WCBR, The Bear. The song was Trigger Hippie, which is also a favorite.

Thank you,
Ron

I just ordered a few of your recommendations. As usual, the music related threads are most useful. Listening to Devandra Banhart - "Cripple Crow." Next up is Sufjan Stevens.

Love Skye's voice, 'Fragments of Freedom' by Morcheeba Is a great album.

Can't wait for the new Goldfrapp cd (seventh tree)to listen http://www.goldfrapp.co.uk/

Devendra Is a class act.

'Dare' by Gorillaz Is worthy of a purchase.
Nice to see music being discussed out of the norm for Audiogon.
