Broadjam Artist: Junior Murrell
Song: You’re Always There

Reviewer: Josh Walker

Positive Comments: I like the cool vibe to it, and the tone of the guitar melody and backing harmony are a big part of that. The guitar playing in general is very good. The bass is somewhat subdued, which also helps.

Constructive Comments: I think two things will help the song a lot. First is to is upgrade the drum programming or add acoustic drums if possible. The drum groove needs more variety than the two measure repeated pattern. The other thing is maybe develop a B section or bridge. The melody is pretty catchy, but to me it gets repetitive, even with the guitar counterline introduced later.

Song: I See You

Reviewer: Till

Positive Comments: Very pleasant to listen to.Love it!

Constructive Comments: Tip – the piano is a bit too loud in the whole mix – it drowns out the vocals. I like it when the piano comes in when the instrumental part emerges.Like the bass – FANTASTIC feel.Thanks for sharing.
