A rising voice in the NZ music scene, Auckland pop-soul singer-songwriter and musician Henri Woodley has officially released his new single ‘Reach for the Sky’ now available on all major streaming platforms.

Blending soulful vocal warmth with a vibrant and energising pop-house feel, ‘Reach for the Sky’ marks a bold sonic step forward for Woodley. The track pairs his signature expressive delivery with uplifting production that’s built for both late-night dance floors and feel-good daytime playlists. Produced by Adam Stinton and Oliver Boeinghoff, Henri’s latest track showcases guitar work from Michael Walmsley.

Fresh off completing a one-year Diploma in Songwriting at SAE, Woodley enters this new era with sharpened craftsmanship and renewed creative clarity. His growth as both a writer and vocalist shines through in the single’s anthemic hooks and emotive message of resilience and aspiration.

“Reach for the Sky is about following your dreams and passions and having the best time doing so” says Henri Woodley.

The release follows Henri’s debut single ‘Fade’ that introduced his soulful style and vocal range, and ‘Reach for the Sky’ continues his exploration of other genres and styles.
