Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: B 13. One Last Ride ft Eric Holland
Reviewer: Rich Goldin
Positive Comments: The acoustic guitar is nicely done and lays well in the mix. The song has some commercial potential, perhaps as source music in a movie or TV production. The electric guitar solo is very effective and not derivative of any particular performer. The mood of the song is dark. The lyrics offer a stern warning to listeners, particularly Americans. I’d like to hear more of this lyrical honesty utilized by other artists.
Constructive Comments: The vocal is a bit “pitchy”. Much of this could be corrected by singing with less “force”. The female harmony vocal sounds a tad out-of-place dated, perhaps as it’s performed almost three octaves over the male lead. When she sings harmony within range of the male lead, the vocal is highly effective. I think bringing the female harmony vocal down one octave (if possible), adding a third interval to the harmony, and singing the lead with a bit less force would definitely improve the song. Again, this opinion may be due to my own personal taste. Nice work overall.
