Broadjam Artist: Tristyn Leach
Song: Flying Solo ( Featuring Camille Rae)
Reviewer: Ober Rivers And His DUI’S
Positive Comments: Heartfelt story of love lost and outstanding vocal performance.
Constructive Comments: Well the vocalist is very , very, good, nothing short of first rate professional. The song to my ear is questionable, not bad, just , well, leaves me a little cold. Doesn’t really tell me anything other than she’s flying solo. Why do I care? This kind of song needs a twist. I’m wondering what the back story is. About half way through I thought … is she singing to a dead guy? That would at least give it some context. Only song I can recall like this that worked for me was ” Why Don’t You Stay ” by Sugerland, and the fact is that Jennifer Nettles sold that very average song lock stock and barrel with the passion in her voice. And there is some emotional difference between ” flying solo ” and stone cold getting down on your knees and begging someone to love you. It’s also about a minute to long.
