A Solid Debut

"Urgency is definitely a departure for Ryan Malcolm from his Canadian Idol days and with Low Level flight he actually has the chance to write and perform his own music. The lyrics are solid with the chorus oftentimes being the highlight of a song. The album is pop-rock and has a pleasant mix of slow and fast tempo songs. For example, I picked up the album after hearing "Change for Me," which is very radio friendly and very catchy. "Turn Around," on the other hand, a song about two brothers, is much slower with touching lyrics and a pleasant melody; again, the chorus really shines through.
Some songs fade into the background, but it remains an album one can listen to from beginning to end. Urgency is a strong first offering from Low Level Flight and I'm looking forward to hearing more from them."
