Handfuls of Sky

Handfuls of Sky is the much-anticipated second album from Australian singer songwriter Harmony James. This album is her first to be released on a major label, Warner Music Australia and 'PRIDE' the first single heralded its arrival by spending six weeks at number one. The album features stellar contributions by Troy Cassar Daley, Bill Chambers and The McClymonts. Shane Nicholson turned in a breathtaking vocal on the duet 'REACH FOR YOU'. As Kim Cheshire wrote in Country Update magazine The songwriting and vocals are much more mature and assured, the production warmer and a little more adventurous, and there's absolutely nothing here that's going to sway me from my opening salvo, she's still the best country songwriter we’ve got and as far as I can see she's still racing way ahead of the pack".
