Robert Urban Wing CD Review

"Elegies" Robert Urban Review By: Len      With "Elegies" New York based Robert Urban has provided a genuine pop/rock treasure. Strong pop melodies enhanced with classical rock influences and striking lyrics create mood, reaction, and most of all extreme enjoyment. The ten song selection is compelling and leaves this listener wanting more, much more.       Urban entices and holds with lyrics which are through his vocals, as much a part of the music as his flawless showing on guitar. Literally catching his listeners with pleasant, thoughtful lyrics which are immediately very well received. Then these lyrics set to work releasing the deep and emotional messages contained. Bravo! Excellent hook, message and one of the best themed musical statements/experiences available.

     Musically, "Elegies" is a veritable powerhouse of style, imagination, interpretation, reference and talent. Progressions with more Oldfield than Ravel musical influences are joined with blazing rock interpretations. Influences in the rock genre abound including; Guess Who, The Who, 10cc, and Yes to name a few...Empowered with Robert Urban's amazing talent on guitar the experience is immortalized in what can only be described as outstanding music!

     Robert Urban opens "Elegies" with strength, "The Waiting Song" and that pace does not stop. A well known theme of love not named brought to life with unique style which commands involvement, yet is candid and touching.  Urban's smooth vocal talent embraces all genres he explores. Emotions of love, frustration, denial, anger, and anticipation find life in the lyrics and the vocal deliverance. I couldn't pick a favorite here, all are equally unique and enjoyable. Check out one of  New York's brightest URBAN legends website for more information, ordering, and concert appearances!
