The Sky's The Limit
(I got this from some magazine & I can't remember what
it's called)

"I think that everyone should jump out of a plane once in their life," declares James, lead vocalist of the Montreal soulful pop duo, Sky, who has skydived five times.

It's an odd admission for a guy who is certainly not the wild man of the group. That honour belongs to his tattooed, tounge- pierced bandmate Antoine.

Roomates since meeting at a music engineering schoo five years ago, the two are a study in paradox.

Yet while each infure certain personality traits into Sky's debut album, Piece Of Paradise (generally, Antoine the groove and James the introspection), they are on the exact same wavelength when it comes to the overall direction.

Produced in two different sessions with Peter Morkan (Maxwell, R. Kelly), and The Euro-Syndicate, whose members include Berman Brothers (Hanson, Real McCoy), the album ranges from the upbeat single "Some Kinda Wonderful to the plaintive ballad "All I Want."

"We're not songwriters that have one acoustic guitar and we throw things out and find a producer to put it together. We work out everything ourselves," says Antoine. "We want to be recognized as songwriters and I think if we have a chance to establish that, we'll have a long career."
