Broadjam Artist: HAWC
Song: Special You
Reviewer: John Walradt
Positive Comments: Nothing like a smooth jazzy pop piece reminiscent of the 1950s crooners. This one delivers! It has all the instrumentations used during that time. It has a very good melody for winding down with a glass of wine. Lyrically sentimental, the words flow with the easy flow of the tune. The harmonies at about 3 1/2 minutes and on are exquisite!
Constructive Comments: The words and music stand on its own on this tune, so an automatic 4 and 5 stars! That is, I can hum it or sing it with one instrument and it holds up. Personal bias (sometimes not quite fair): for originality…lots of songs with sentiment and lyrics similar to these but that’s certainly okay since this song works so well and the sentiment is heartwarming. I would like an intro that would have smoother strings, most with a lower pitch while keeping one high, and a keyboard to match the song that follows. I would experiment. Marketability if you chose to?…absolutely!
