Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: The Gift
Reviewer: Pete Papageorge
Positive Comments: The song was well recorded and produced. I think the writer shows promise as a lyricist. The song has a laid-back feel to it which seems appropriate to the lyrics.
Constructive Comments: I found the music to be lacking somewhat, not really memorable. Also, the structure of the chorus is a little unusual in that the lines preceding the chorus are where the title appears. This is rectified somewhat in the last chorus I think the chorus needs to be re-structured. And even though the guitar work was good, I think it’d be better to find a distinctive instrumental ‘hook’ – something that the listener will connect with the song every time it’s played on the radio.
