Broadjam Artist: John Masarone
Song: Troop and Camo
Reviewer: The Bitter Elegance
Positive Comments: This is a very fun track without a lot of bounce and exuberance. The vocal has a lot of interesting character and the song structure is very compelling. The musicianship is tight (I am super excited to see if this is a band or a soloist – hoping it is a band because I bet live you guys are smoking!). I am left singing the melody of the hook, which is the highest praise I can give a songwriter.
Constructive Comments: I have NO IDEA what the title is, or how it pays off the lyric. I have tried and tried to figure out what the heck is being sung, but I just can’t get it. I see this as problematic because a listener on the radio (or internet, or MP3) won’t have a lyric sheet and I think the lyrics would be a lot more visual if I “got” it. Stylistically, the lead vocal (while not pitchy) is a little “loose” for my personal taste, but the style definitely shows.nice job!!!
