Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Old Sew and Sew
Reviewer: James Neilson Graham
Positive Comments: What a pleasure it is to come across a song so full of life! The harmonic structure is simple but spiced up by the modulation to the dominant. The longer phrases at the end of each chorus/verse add interest to the melody. And then the story, self-deprecating, reassuring, personal, knitted (sewn?) together with witty rhymes . . . and I haven’t even talked about the duetting voices yet (I guess it’s all you?). These are the icing on the cake.
Constructive Comments: The guitar is lively and accurate. The bass line favours repeated notes – I could imagine a slightly more adventurous bass. The layered dominant seventh vocal harmonies right at the end are gorgeous and all too brief! A seed for development?
