Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: THAT’S HOW LONG (featuring Troy Walls-vocal)
Reviewer: Nicolle & The Joonoos
Positive Comments: Could almost imagine Blake Shelton singing this! It’s a similar tone/ pitch that he would sing in. Love the story-telling style of the lyrics and honesty, very true to country music, and the change in some of the lyrics in the chorus keeps the listener’s attention, whereas the concept of “that’s how long we’ll be in love” remains as the theme throughout, much as the hook should, so the audience is not alienated by the other changes.
Constructive Comments: I would consider a more upbeat tempo, to reflect the positive lyrics and to push the track forwards. I like the ambiguous overall sound that the bluesy feel gives as they reflect the qualifier “if”, used within the chorus but feel that some aspect of the production are played slightly safe, however, perhaps this is because this song is more of a traditional country song as opposed to a contemporary one. I could imagine this track with more of a dancing rhythm: it would contrast nicely with the heartfelt, romantic words.
