Broadjam Artist: Paul Krans
Song: Savior
Reviewer: Simon Finn
Positive Comments: This is quite tricky – I think the basic rhythmic idea here is quite strong, but the recording quality is very distracting – its distorted and was clearly mixed over 0db. The harmonies are also out of tune and the whole arrangement is too busy, so that it’s pretty much impossible to hear the lyrics. It’s all very repetitive so it’s hard to feel that the song moves along and develops emotionally.
Constructive Comments: Go back to your original idea, which is strong, and create a simpler arrangement, perhaps paying for a pro-demo to see if the potential in the song can be released. Being a songwriter doesn’t mean you also have to be singer, mix-engineer, masterer, producer, musician etc… This can help you keep focus on what you’re good at.
