Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Looking at the face of God
Reviewer: Simon Finn
Positive Comments: The instrumental recording is nice and clear, with all the parts recorded and mixed well. The idea behind the lyrics is a strong one, though could be executed with more brevity. There is variety in the way the song is structured that can be surprising but also interesting.
Constructive Comments: Try a recording with a professional vocalist, perhaps a woman’s voice? The track has a soulful vibe in the instrumentation but the voice on this recording is not a soulful one. I think this would take the track in an interesting new direction. The idea behind the lyrics is good and clear, but some of the metaphors and stories used to take us through the song are a little long and a little awkward. This might help if you simplify the verse melodies a little in order to make them more memorable, and give them a bit of a lift into the chorus.
