Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Say You Love Me Too (Pop)

Reviewer: Cool Pool Man

Positive Comments: Nice pop ballad. I like the musical arrangement and instrumentation, it’s pleasant and easy to listen to. Very good effort, so well done!

Constructive Comments: Notoriously difficult to write love songs in a new and fresh way. It’s pretty well done for this theme. Maybe the song could be shorter because there’s plenty of good material in there and maybe too much repetition, particularly at the end?

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Without You

Reviewer: Cool Pool Man

Positive Comments: Reminds me of Bruce Springsteen type number. Good structure and arrangement. The lyrics work well for the subject. The singing is fine. It’s much better than most new songs I’ve heard.

Constructive Comments: Love songs are notoriously difficult to frame in a new and unusual way. Seems more in the direction of a country song although it has pop elements. The guitar in the bridge is well-played but a bit harsh for the tone of the song, perhaps. Anyway, good effort, well done!

Broadjam Artist: Osea Codega
Song: Happy time

Reviewer: Cool Pool Man

Positive Comments: Lovely tune, nicely executed. Could be interesting for film or advertising as is. It gives me the impression of a joyful event, by the waterside perhaps? I like the chime in the piano. Reminds me of a French song “Emily”.

Constructive Comments: If it would be accompanied by lyrics, I would suggest a bridge with something different for the listener. I think it more world style or better could be a folk song.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Language

Reviewer: Cyniman

Positive Comments: The vocal sound really good, she has an excellent voice, the verses are very strong. The track is very well produced and mixed, the part all fit well together, leaving a sonic space for the vocal to sit nicely in the track

Constructive Comments: The hook does not seem to stand out enough, the verses are very much stronger in my opinon.The guitar sound a bit to big for the track and the harmonic dont seem to work very well with track, I think maybe because the guitar maybe a 12string, but it does not sound bad it may be a posive attribute and help the track sound more distintive. I think the song sounds more country that pop.Very good

Broadjam Artist: Billy Pilgrim
Song: Going Steady

Reviewer: Cyniman

Positive Comments: The synth melody line sound good, the use of the stereo sweeps adds interest to the track. The piano licks sound very classy. this track would be great as an intro to a tv program. The synth sounds and effect sounds very well produced and polshed

Constructive Comments: The drum should be mix louder in the track. I think this track would sound brilliant with a more pronounce drum track, I feel the kik need to be louder to drive the track, to add the the sense of urgency the track already has. I think the same apply to the snare sound i think it need to be upfront in the mix. I think the track would be improved if the drum track production matched the excellent quality of the other instrumentation

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Time 4U (Electronica)

Reviewer: Cyniman

Positive Comments: the bass sound nice and full. The nix of sounds is very good, the track sounds well balanced in terms of frequency distribution and dynamics.

Constructive Comments: Not too sure about the saxophone in the track, not too sure if it workd to well in this genre, howver the melody it was playing was very interesting and might have sounded better on a more played using a more synthy sound> Also the track maybe would have souded less busy minus some of the synth line

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Solitary Life / R&B

Reviewer: Cyniman

Positive Comments: The hook melody is very good, the vocals are very well recorded. The drum programming rhythm is also very intricate and song really well crafted.

Constructive Comments: The song should maybe be in a lower key because at the chorus the singer seems to be singing at the upper limit of her vocal range. The drum samples could be more weight and modern sounding.

Broadjam Artist: The Rap Ghandi
Song: Prison

Reviewer: Cyniman

Positive Comments: Production is excellent, the track is very well mixed all the sounds sit very well in the track. The lyrical content is excellent.

Constructive Comments: The song could have maybe benefited from a vocal hook, to up the commerciality, but I think that more a artistic choice rather than a necessity, overall I think the track is great. Cannot find anything else the could improve the track

Broadjam Artist: Josh Walker
Song: Marimba Samba

Reviewer: The Song Writers

Positive Comments: Very smooth and soothing. Samba/world sound to your arrangement. The recording not bad at all a little soft though.

Constructive Comments: You might want to tighten up on ur transitions between sequences. Y’all sound a bit unsure to roll into your pattern. Less reverb.
