Broadjam Artist: Vicki Lee
Song: Ups and Downs
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Intro made me think of an old western movie theme, very quality sounds. Good job making the drum samples swing, it’s very hard to do jazz music without using live drums. Drums however are placed very well in the mix. Pleasant song all the way down to the long fade. I like the feel of the brush drum set. You utilized your sounds and vibe extraordinarily on this piece, really created an ambiance of mystic, sex appeal and intrigue.
Constructive Comments: Sounds like maybe a lot of samples used in this song. Mix is slightly bassy, could use a little less bass overall and the bass guitar is slightly about the other instruments. The vocal is not very clear, could use something to give it a little more bite… more compression and a slight boost in the upper mid-range eq.
