Upon leaving Morcheeba, Edwards was replaced by Daisy Martey (formerly of Noonday Underground) as the band's vocalist. (Martey was subsequently criticised by fans for sounding too much like Skye. She did not tour with the band following the release of their first album with her, The Antidote, her place being taken by Jody Sternberg.)
Edwards is signed to Atlantic Records UK. Her debut solo album, Mind How You Go was released on February 27th, 2006.
New solo album 2009: Skye - Keeping Secrets, Skywards Recordings, www.myspace.com/myskyesite
2010: With "Blood Like Lemonade" Skye is firmly back in place. According to Skye "it all happened quite by chance". After seven years, she bumped into Ross Godfrey at her manager's office. They gave each other a big hug, had a chat, and this led to the brother's asking Skye (through their manager) if she would be interested in singing a few songs on their new record. Skye's immediate thought was "Nope", but she thought about it a bit, they had a meal together, "got pretty drunk" and agreed "lets make another Morcheeba record".
EXHALE
Skye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken up inside
Stolen, all untied
You went the long way round
Going nowhere bound
Frozen
When you're alone
Call her
She'll carry you home
Her wings will bring you home
Her little wings will bring you home
Up side
Where you're free to glide
It's awesome
You'll exhale with delight
All a daze
Don't gotta chase the dogs away
Won't let 'em get you get them
So walk on
You're not alone
Call her
She'll carry you home
Her wings will bring you home
Her wings will bring you home
Her wings will bring you home
Bring you home
Her little wings will bring you home...
In "Exhale," Skye sings about someone who has been feeling truly alone and broken inside. They have been stolen from (perhaps emotionally or spiritually), left untethered and aimlessly wandering. The lyrics suggest that despite the long and winding journey they have taken- ultimately leading nowhere - there is hope. The song tells the listener to keep walking and to reach out for help rather than giving up or isolating oneself further. The idea of a guardian angel-like figure comes through, one who will come to your aid when you call out. The image of wings carries through the lyrics, symbolizing protection and freedom. By the end of the song, the lyrics suggest that you will exhale with delight when you arrive in a place of safety, a space where you can glide freely and let go of the anxiety and fear that may have been plaguing you.
Overall, "Exhale" is an uplifting song about the possibility of healing from loneliness or mental anguish. It acknowledges the pain and hardships that a person may be facing, but reminds them that they are not alone in their struggles.

You don't just listen to Skye's music, it's an experience.

How is that possible, that 99% of people recognizes only the talent of the singer? The band is amazing too. A singer without a great backup is like a guitar without strings, I think. BTW Skye is one of my favourite singers, so pls try not to misunderstand me. :)
