Broadjam Artist: Joseph Cirello
Song: Away From Me
Reviewer: The Bitter Elegance
Positive Comments: This is a very impressive track. The vocalist has great pitch, control, and delivery. He is dead-on, but sounds organic and not forced. Great sectional contrast with lyrical phrasing that varies section to section. The mood is dark and sexy, and the chorus just explodes out of the “B” section. The production is top notch, and the drop down in the bridge is spectacular.
Constructive Comments: I think there are 2 minor things that could be worked on to make this a solid 5 star song. The first one is that as strong as the hook is, It doesn’t quite stick in my head when the song is over. I think this could be fixed by either raising the range (maybe a 3rd), or maybe by bringing out more of the harmonies in the chorus section. The bigger picture issue I have is that while the tempo and melody sound very hip, the actual tones of the instruments and drum patterns are rooted in era gone by, and I think that could limit this song’s potential placements.GREAT JOB!!!
