One of the most groove-oriented acts in the mid-'90s trip-hop crowd, London-based group Morcheeba separated themselves from the pack with the sweet, fluid vocals of Skye Edwards and a laid-back mix of fusion, funk, and blues produced by brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey. Debuting in 1995 with the Trigger Hippie EP, they went on to become a favorite on the trip-hop scene with albums such as 1998's Big Calm, 2000's Fragments of Freedom, and 2002's Charango, which gave them a crossover boost in mainstream and hip-hop circles. After a brief exit for Edwards -- during which time the Godfrey brothers employed new vocalists for the Antidote and Deep Dive -- the beloved singer returned to the fold for their big comeback, 2010's Blood Like Lemonade. In 2013, the trio fractured as Paul Godfrey parted ways with his brother and Edwards, who released music together under their own names. The pair resurrected the Morcheeba name for 2018's Blaze Away and 2021's Blackest Blue.
