Broadjam Artist: LaWanda Lee
Song: Smokin’ Room
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: Really posh sound here with a smooth groove that’s totally in the pocket with strategic dropouts and builds where it suits the song perfectly. Really strong vocal performance with a great gospel feel in the backups. Killer bass & drum work and elegant key & string work. Nice staging the way the drums go to a next level on the turnaround after the first verse. This could be Jill Scott leaning toward the Gospel side. Nice work!
Constructive Comments: The vocals aren’t quite as rich in sound as they should be–it sounds like some of the mids were squeezed out? I’d like the lead vocal a bit higher in the mix and maybe duck the instruments more when singing?
