===2009–2013: Reunion, ''Blood Like Lemonade'' and ''Head Up High''=== As a solo artist, Edwards remained with the same management company as Morcheeba—Chris Morrison the CM of CMO Management represented both artists—which led to a chance meeting in their London offices sometime in 2009. Edwards and the Godfrey brothers met again to discuss her possible involvement in a new project. Initially the singer was hesitant and pointed out that she "really enjoyed doing my solo stuff and writing my own lyrics".<ref name="Guestlisted">[http://guestlisted.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/skye-edwards-morcheeba-interview-2010.html "Guestlisted interview"] Leigh, ''Sky Edwards interview'' (2010), Digging A Hole, 21 August 2010</ref> Eventually, Edwards rejoined the band and the trio began work on a new album,<ref name="Gimme Noise" /> with Edwards still on tour promoting her solo album, Ross Godfrey living in California and Paul Godfrey in France.<ref name="IndieLondon">[http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Music-Review/morcheeba-the-indielondon-interview "IndieLondon interview with Paul Godfrey"] 'Morcheeba - The IndieLondon interview', ''IndieLondon'', June 2010</ref> On 12 February 2010, ''[[NME]]'' revealed that Edwards was once again back with the band, which was confirmed by Paul Godfrey the day after on the band's [[Myspace]] blog.
