PREMIERE | FlygerWoods, 'Light of Day'
Houston’s own rising underdog FlygerWoods presents a first listen to the new EP Light of Day that embraces the new dawns of new beginnings. Sporting production by Things With Todd’s Todd Louis, Flyger rolls out his most realized work to date. Cruising into 2020 with focus, an attitude of innovative confidence, enlisting Big Mike for an appearance on the cut “The Loot” and moving toward a sense of greater consciousness in an era where things don’t always make sense — FlygerWoods presents a five song cycle that chronicles the rise from riding bikes to Impalas and LaSabres.
Light of Day begins with the milestone marker originally debuted last year, "LaSabres & Impalas". The cinemascope pans from youthful dalliances of bike peddling along the pavement to rolling on the easy streets of cherry chrome buckets of beauty. "Be Happy" is an ode to getting over the messes and mayhem, being your own person and rising above to embrace true happiness. On "The Loot" Big Mike and FlygerWoods elevate upward toward better situations and turning around circumstances by making considerations of a higher conscious toward personal prosperity. Balances of choices, consequences, causes and effects are weighed on scales of wisdom greater than the short sighted gains of triple beams.
Reflecting on the freeways and streets traveled on life's intricate road map; FlygerWoods exhibits narratives of his own come up from school day stories, the downs and ups to gripping the grain on the asphalt terrain with "Ridin' Cruisin' Pt. II". Light of Day concludes with the wave rippling production of "No Sense" that aims toward greater truths with a whole lotta heart, reminiscing on youthful games to making it to the big stages with the closing recitations of, ain't no sense in me lying, what's done in the dark will come out shining…
FlygerWoods expounded a bit on the transformative process of making “Light of Day” and the corresponding creative impact:
Leading up to Light of Day, both creatively and personally, I had learned so much...but was just holding on to it all in a way. It was throughout the actual creation of Light of Day did I begin actually applying all the lessons. The manifestation of that through this project was powerful for me both as a lyricist and a man.
