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

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. By Martin Johnson
Hello, I'm Skye, yes it's me running my own page. I read all my messages and comments but can't reply to all. I used to sing with Morcheeba and now, I don't. I made an album called Mind How You Go. It's in shops now or you can get it on itunes
Hey Skye Make sure u buy this months Italian Vogue. It's the first edition ever to feature only Black models. Vogue is saying that it's going to be the worst selling edition ever, Lets prove them wrong. We all love fashion but we gotta stand up and do something to get the fashion industry to celebrate black beauty.

The Nina Simeone fan. The lady has had a couple of modern day dance remixes made continuing her life beautifully. I was wondering if you are aware of any dance remixes of your work that various DJ's may have played with?
Hey Skye, was wondering if the Imagozine ever found its way to you? I hope so and hope you enjoyed the piece. It was a highlight of my career to "speak" with you. Keep on keepin' on!
Hey lovely Skye! Have heard your version of View to a Kill on the Hollywood Mon Amour site- absolutely gorgeous! (Looking forward to a Duran-esque videoclip!) And just read that you've done Call Me and This Is Not America- that is SO exciting!! Can't wait to hear em, both 80s faves of mine... love your work & love-u-longtime nx
