My First Celebrity "Twitter" - SKYE

Last Thursday I was discussing Twitter and how I was debating actually following people with celebrity status as opposed to just friends of mine. So I decided to follow Skye Edwards, my favorite female vocalist of all time.

Before Adele, Duffy, and Estelle, God created Skye. She used to sing for a project called Morcheeba but something happened and she was no longer in the group. I don't know exactly what happened but in the court of public opinion she was in the role of Conan O'Brien and the Godfrey Brothers of Morcheeba were playing the role of NBC. Anyway she is now having a successful solo career.

The reason why I added her is that she seems very honest, delightful, and most importantly, humble. I also feel like I'm talking to a regular person, like my friends. She was in a band which took Electronica into the mainstream and has the voice of a goddess but you would never know it if you were to deal with her. Also, her body of work over her career is very solid.

Here are my top 5 "must haves" for a collection, in order:

Skye - Keeping Secrets DIGITAL ALBUM ("Boo Hoo," "I Believe," and "Exhale" blew my mind)
Morcheeba - Big Calm CD (when I first heard "The Sea" I almost melted)
Morcheeba - From Brixton to Beijing DVD (this is incredible)
Morcheeba - Who Can You Trust CD
Skye - Mind How You Go CD

I extremely-hot-weather-alert recommend you check out these recommendations, as well as her MySpace page to see her videos and hear her tunes.
