===2003–2008: Split and ''Dive Deep''===
By the end of 2003, the Godfrey brothers split with Edwards, citing creative and personal differences.<ref name="Gimme Noise">[http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/2011/02/morcheeba_the_r.php "Gimme Noise"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530023932/http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/2011/02/morcheeba_the_r.php |date=30 May 2013 }} Jen Edwards, 'Morcheeba: The revealing extended interview', ''Gimme Noise'', 13 February 2011</ref> Edwards received "a phone call from our manager saying that it was over. It was a relief to think we didn't have to continue".<ref name="Culture Compass" /> She was under the impression that the band had ceased to operate. A [[greatest hits]] [[compilation album|compilation]], ''[[Parts of the Process]]'', helped to retain interest in the band and featured two new tracks: "What's Your Name" (featuring a rhyming cameo from [[Big Daddy Kane]]) and "Can't Stand It". At around the same time, they released the live DVD ''Morcheeba: From Brixton to Beijing''. A decade later, Ross Godfrey reflected on this period, saying: "We just felt like we couldn't breathe, I'd been in the band and on the road since I was 18, so to have any kind of break from that was just amazing".<ref name="Quietus interview 2013">{{cite web|url=http://thequietus.com/articles/13531-morcheeba-ross-godfrey-interview |title=Features &#124; A Quietus Interview &#124; Specs, Drugs & Rock & Roll: True Stories Of Morcheeba |date=18 October 2013 |publisher=The Quietus |access-date=11 April 2014}}</ref>

The two brothers reunited the year after, leaving Paul to explain that "Ross and I realised that Morcheeba was kind of our family company, and that we wanted very much to keep it going, hence the change".<ref name="music omh">[http://www.musicomh.com/features/interviews/interview-morcheeba "OMH Interview with Paul Godfrey"] Ben Hogwood 'Interview - Morcheeba' music OMH, 3 August 2005</ref> In 2005, Morcheeba released their fifth studio (and first post-Edwards) album, ''[[The Antidote (Morcheeba album)|The Antidote]]''. [[Daisy Martey]] (formerly of the band [[Noonday Underground]]) was recruited to replace Edwards as the album vocalist. However, Martey's period with the band was brief and she was sacked in the middle of the promotional tour, to be replaced by Jody Sternberg. Martey subsequently sued the band for assault, breach of contract and defamation.<ref>[https://www.gigwise.com/news/12091/ "Gigwise newsitem"] Daniel Melia, 'Former Morcheeba singer sues Bandmate for assault' Gigwise, 5 January 2006</ref> Sternberg's own tenure with the band was similarly brief, and she only appeared to have been part of the band to fulfil tour dates. According to Ross, the entire episode "was difficult to say the least. It left us in near-ruin".<ref name="IndieLDNDive">[http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Music-Review/morcheeba-discuss-the-journey-to-dive-deep "Dive Deep interview"] Jack Foley, 'Morcheeba discuss the journey to Dive Deep', ''IndieLondon'', Accessed 21 March 2014.</ref>

After a break of several years, Morcheeba released their sixth studio album, ''[[Dive Deep]]'', in February 2008. On this album, Paul Godfrey fell back into his role as producer collaborating with Dan Goldman on most tracks (as Ross had moved to L.A.) and selecting five vocalists to perform the songs. The folk-rock singer [[Judie Tzuke]], Norwegian star [[Thomas Dybdahl]] and blues singer/guitarist Bradley Burgess appeared as lead vocalists together with the Korean-American rapper [[Cool Calm Pete]] and French singer Manda (Amanda Zamolo).<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/Morcheeba-Dive-Deep/release/4540737 "Discogs entry"] Discogs entry for the album with credits, accessed 21 March 2014.</ref> Both Manda and Burgess toured with Morcheeba as lead singers on their 2008 tour.
