Skye Edwards

Skye Edwards (born May 1974 as Shirley Klarisse Yonavive Edwards) is an English singer, born in south east London. Until 2003, she was the lead singer of the band Morcheeba. Edwards decided to shorten her name to Skye by taking the first letter of each of her names and putting them together. She has sung on two charity collaborations, Perfect Day 1997, in aid of BBC Children in Need and Band Aid 20, in 2004, in aid of famine relief in Sudan, Africa. Edwards has two children, a son and a daughter.

Upon leaving Morcheeba, Edwards was replaced by Daisy Martey (formerly of Noonday Underground) as the band's vocalist. (Martey, despite her obvious talents, developed irreconcilable differences with the Godfrey Brothers. She toured briefly following the release of their first album with her, The Antidote, her place being taken by Jody Sternberg.)

The single planned would be What's Wrong With Me. There is a video's available on her MySpace site [2]. "People ask what this record means to me, but that's an alien question because I've been living and breathing it," says Skye. "It's not a question of what it means to me. This record is me."

It is expected that her cover of 'Feel Good Inc' will be properly released in the future. Whether as a single or just on a future album is yet to be known. Love Show is also to be released soon in the UK.
