Styled somewhere between Savage Garden and Go West, Canadian duo Sky aims for U.S. success with its first release, Love Song, a midtempo slice of pop bliss peppered with electric guitars, a shuffling beat, and dazzling harmonies. These guys certainly know how to work a hook with this uplifting track, which scores radiantly after just a couple of spins and shows a bit more pop grit than much of what we've heard recently. Things are pretty much straightforward here, letting a catchy melody, solid production, and fine vocals do the job without the aid of gimmicky bells and whistles. All in all, a humble pie that's worth a serious listen. Look for the group's debut album, Piece Of Paradise, at the end of June.
