Broadjam Artist: The Melody Stuart Project – Remerge Band
Song: Underware Sale – Featuring Melody Stuart
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: More Andrews Sisters than Chicago Blues, despite using the Messin’ With the Kid riff. But that’s just a category issue. This is family friendly county fair folky swing. The answering/backing vocals are great and the lead vocalist has a nice timbre with a good job conveying the story with conviction!
Constructive Comments: The high hat pickup on the and of 4 gives the bassline the sense of being too far behind the beat. I think it would swing much harder if the high hat part didn’t open/close and stripper shimmy as much as it does–it takes the groove prisoner. Listen in the chorus where the drums switch to ride and see how it lets the groove breathe. I think you should have a break down / stop section in the middle with some sort of sassy vocal bridge. The ending should be tagged definitively rather than faded. All IMO
