Song: Chevron and Shell Destroyed the Niger Delta

Reviewer: The Song Writers

Positive Comments: Very Acid Beatles inside their yellow submarine. The ghost of John Lenon is here in your song. Very nice, we like it.

Constructive Comments: This song is to objective to be criticized. On it’s own a master piece.

Broadjam Artist: Laurence Watkins
Song: Musical Messiah

Reviewer: CAEDMON’S DREAM

Positive Comments: + vocals are clear + nice rhythm guitar riffs+ universal message

Constructive Comments: * lyric and guitar lines lead me to think of a rock anthem type of song * doubling guitar parts is effective but have to be in sync with each other in stereo mix* try to find a better rock drum sound and raise level in the mix * needs bass part to strengthen to guitar comping* lead vocal has good intonation and style maybe too much chorus try find a natural sounding reverb for effects * lyric has a strong message develop a lyrical hook that is memorable and repeatable that highlights the theme*** Keep jamming on those guitar parts and build them/add variation as song progresses!!!

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Tangled Up In You (was #1 Broadjam: Folk-Rock)

Reviewer: Vicki Lee

Positive Comments: Nice intro and a pretty song. Noticed guitar work and other instruments blending with harmony. Common and trite lyrics at first, but made good with reference to rope and getting tangled up with the other person. Vivid portrait of the senses during the dance encounter. Uplifting transition at 2:25. Universal theme which should have broad appeal. Glad the story had closure with a good ending.

Constructive Comments: The vocalist has a sweet voice, but struggles with high notes. You might shave a little time off the end, as the song is 4:29 and might not fit into current air play demands. The first couple of lines indicate an aversion to this other person and the rhyme of “run” and “fun” don’t quite evoke the right image. You might give that first verse some thought, as it puts a confusing image in my head. Good luck!

Song: When These Days are Done

Reviewer: Sandra Ada

Positive Comments: First thing I notice is the beautiful, smooth guitar. Nicely played and nicely recorded. The vocals is very nice and the tone is pleasant as well. Definitely could listen to this on the radio and expect to hear it there one day!

Constructive Comments: Recording is well done and song is overall very pleasant and beautiful. Easily a hit. Would like to say to add other instruments but on second thought its so peaceful to listen to with just the vocals and guitar.

Broadjam Artist: Josh Walker
Song: Get What You Can

Reviewer: Sandra Ada

Positive Comments: Has a nice feel with a very good mix. Drums stand out well but not so much that they drown everything. Instrumentation is well done and professional. Great background music for many different platforms, reminds me of degrassi high sort of.

Constructive Comments: Could use maybe another instrument to break it up a bit however minimal music is key for theme songs. Thanks for sharing!
