Broadjam Artist: Luanne Hunt
Song: The Butterfly Effect
Reviewer: Peter Boynton
Positive Comments: -Good production values with solid instrumentation and a nice arrangement.-The vocals are nice in an adult contemporary or easy listening kind of way.-Not contemporary feeling – could work in a vintage placement for Sync?
Constructive Comments: -Shorten the intro to get to the lyric much more quickly. That would help move the song towards a more contemporary feel.-Take a full minute out of the song.-There’s not much contrast or tension in the song. It all stays in the same emotional range section by section. The 1st verse sounds so sweet in terms of melody range and the vocals, but the lyrics are just the opposite. Maybe try to get an edge into that 1st verse vocal melody and delivery? Smaller melodic intervals and more conversational. Acknowledge the hurt in the vocal/melodic delivery.That would also help it move to more of a contemporary feel.-With an edgier arrangement and a bit more grit to the vocals, I think the song would hold my attention longer. It was just a bit too long and constantly sweet sounding. -This could work in SYNC, where it doesn’t take focus, but not as an artist pitch. That might fit in with your plans for it?
