Morcheeba
Forum, Melbourne
The 90s saw the rise of trip- hop and one band that has lasted the distance is Morcheeba. Back in Australia to showcase 2021 album Blackest Blue and a range of hits.
Skye Edwards slides out onto the stage, wearing impossibly high shoes and a gorgeous top hat. Her honeyed voice fills the theater, opening with Trigger Hippie, instantly mesmerizing the crowd. Her voice captivates as she glides around the space, engaging and entertaining.
Playing a variety of tracks, from the popular The Sea to Easy Way, and Part Of The Process, Edwards only stops a few times to engage the crowd. Stopping to take off her shoes, she sits down and casually tells the crowd she can’t balance anymore, so the shoes have to go before launching into Jam.
Deciding to peak early, they don’t save the popular hit Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day until last, instead sandwiching it in between a cover of Dawn Penn’s You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No) and Never Undo.
Skye Edwards is one of those performers that has a voice that you could easily listen to all night and never tire of it’s beauty. She delights in bringing people together to share the experience of being in a room, forgetting the world outside to step into hers. Before the evening ends, she entices the audience to dance along to a cover of David Bowie’s Let’s Dance– and it’s a perfect way to end what has been an incredible evening of sensuous music.
