A very creative, polished and highly professional pop band, with squeaky-clean R&B overtones that impacts immediately. Love Song, taken as the follow-up single to Some Kinda Wonderful, is perhaps best representative of this pair's entrancing and perhaps unique approach to their craft. The Montreal duo are only volunteering first names; Antoine and James, who are multi-instrumentalists and they know the territory when it comes to songwriting. They cleverly manage to layer their sound, whether by design or accident touching a nerve on each track with their sensitive and youthful vocal projection that provides a comfortable wrap-around for their song message, not easy to do. They've been together since 1992 and obviously work off one another but fit nicely like hand and glove. Although they also have producer credits for their previous works, they brought in internationally-known producers Peter Mokran, whose credits include Michael Jackson and R. Kelly, and Euro-Syndicate Productions whose members include The Berman Brothers with some pretty impressive credits, Joe Copeland and Joe West. Half the album was produced by Euro-Syndicate at New York's Gallery Studios, from which came Love Song. Also key is All I Want, a soft 'n easy ballad. But don't overlook America, also heavily pop influenced, described as "the pursuit of the American Dream." Their session with Mokran took place at Toronto's Metalworks, leaning more to urban material. "No rapping, but phat, chunky bass and beats," is how Sky describes what they were looking for and obviously got. Key here is the gospel-tinged You And I, Shave, a duet with Dubmatique guest vocalist Dessy Di Lauro and I Will Survive, co-written with John Acosta formerly of Acosta/Russell. (R.P.M.-WG)
