Better known as the vocalist for the trip-hop band Morcheeba, Skye has a silky-smooth voice that is best described as soothing. This debut solo disc could fit in the downbeat genre, but really it's just good, slow-tempo pop music (not quite ballads). This is great rainy day music. It's also the kind of music you hear at Fourbucks coffee shops or at the end of TV shows like House when they have the moody end montage just before the final scene. Good writing, good production - this is a solid effort. I should warn the listener, however, that this is one of those discs that requires a few listens to appreciate it. Stick with it and you'll find it's worth the effort.
