Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: I love the story telling country. this could also be folk music as well. The lyrics were well written . The singer had a great voice. I liked it a lot.

Constructive Comments: I loved the simplicity of it, but a drum line in the back ground would make it great.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Oh Yeah

Reviewer: The Guild

Positive Comments: Right off the bat it was beach boys, and then transformed into the Bond theme meets video game. Tight pants romance was one of my favorite lines in a very interesting song.

Constructive Comments: Really wanted to like this song but couldn’t quite get it to grab me… seems very familiar. The hook is good and sinks in the ear easily, but the vocals are back in the mix slightly an the lyrics are lost for the most part. Love the changes dynamically but was wishing for a bit more “gut” or feeling in this song. You guys have a lot of talent and the vocals sound good. Keep at it!

Song: Sid & Nancy

Reviewer: The Guild

Positive Comments: Very beach party-esque, great start to a children’s song.

Constructive Comments: This song is feels like it is just starting out and needs to be hashed on a bit more. The white noise from the mic is very loud and hissy, while the instrumentation is a bit loose. The hook needs to come through more to give the listener a sense of the song. Overall I think it represents a good start but this song has a ways to go before it is market ready. Keep writing.

Song: hibye

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Oh this is FUNKY and slinky. Glad I decided to review one more… That beat is killer. The scenic vocals make it a weirder type of piece, but obviously you wanted that.

Constructive Comments: It may be a tad too weird to reach a lot of people but I think it’s cool. I think the vocal parts start to wear thin but the groove keeps me listening.

Song: See The Other Live

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Very nice piece that’s really on the verge of being Baroque/Classical or Romantic. It really has elements of all three. I’m calling it New Age because it’s mellow and serene. A very nice and soothing work. There’s a well structured conversation between multiple lead instruments. I especially like the guitar and flute parts! Nice work!!

Constructive Comments: Some of the key sounds are a bit too midi IMO. The guitar recording has some room bounce in it I think. The guitar could use some of the low mid removed to make it a bit clearer/brighter.

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: What’s going on …why we treat each other so lethal? Really strong hook and message. It’s a nice change from the typical bust a cap kinda stuff. There’s a lot of clever and biting stuff in here (come home with nothin’ but your drawers lol). This must be Flavahype with his conscious rap!! I like it more with each listen.

Constructive Comments: I think the vocal is too close and dry and needs to have the level brought down a bit to let it sit in the mix better. Maybe add a touch of delay and reverb to distance it. Overall it has a feeling like it’s not quite cooked yet–I think that’s from needing some more breathing room in the mix and also letting the instrumental tracks speak more. The drum pattern could be tighter but cutting a bit of the <100K on the kick and maybe boosting the mids around 8K?
