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