Maybe Less Cheeba
In 2005, Morcheeba released The Antidote, and I was excited. Ever since hearing their seductive trip-hop beats over the whirr of the dishwasher during a summer in a downtown restaurant, I was hooked. With the exception of Fragments of Freedom, which eschewed some of the trip hop tendencies for pop music... the albums were gems.
The Antidote was a disappointment. Something was missing. Out of nowhere, lead vox, Skye Edwards had been replaced. I don't think I have listened to the album more than once.
I have now discovered the true antidote to Morcheeba's bad medicine. After being unceremoniously given the boot by the brother's Morcheeba, Skye has released her own album, called "Mind How You Go". The voice is still there... perhaps some of the hop has been taken out of the trip, but its still dark and swirling when it has to be.
Sure makes the boys back in the Cheeba look silly for ever dropping her... too much cheeba can do that to ya.
