The Queen Of Trip-Hop is "Keeping Secrets"

    What is up with Skye Edwards second solo album, "Keeping Secrets"? 
    Is Skye trying to keep her new album a secret on purpose??
Her MYSPACE (http://www.myspace.com/myskyesite) says."Go to the top and throw them down one by one", & I have no insight to tell you WTF that means.
     Anyways,  It was released in the Fall of '09 and still can't be found in many stores.  The only place where you can buy the album that I know is on Itunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/keeping-secrets/id335944397).    

    She started writing songs for the album with Steve Gordon at the start of her 2006 Mind How You Go tour.  Apparently, Skye's previous record label, Karova went out of business, so she  released the album under her own label, Skyewards.




The tracklist has collaborations by many talented, such as Daniel Lanois, the former U2 producer; and Ivor Guest who produced the latest Grace Jones album.
Track list:

01-I Believe (4:51)
02-Boo Hoo (5:04)
03-Not Broken (4:39)
04-The Shape I'm In (3:36)
05-Monsters Demons (5:50)
06-Clock To Stop (3:54)
07-Almost Killed Me (3:54)
08-Wrong Alright (4:02)
09-Maybe To Spain (4:34)
10-Exhale (4:49)


Here is the music video for her latest single called "I Believe" that was directed by Fatima and produced by Veronica Saez @ Annex Films.



Despite the reviews that I've read so far, I think that Skye's music video for her latest single is quite authentic, fresh, and emotionally charged (like usual) .  Not to mention chill and sultry as ever.  
But, does anyone know why she isn't being represented by a label? I think that its a personal choice that she's made.  I also think that Skye Edwards is a Heavy Hitter, and Legend in the Trip-Hop genre.   I Believe in you Skye.

This album is what I've been waiting to hear since Morcheeba/Skye split. Skye needs to find a way of getting her music out there - there are some excellent tracks on this album and it deserves a much wider audience. I came across this only when I went looking for the new Morcheeba album (they appear to be back together again)
