Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Thought you were an angel
Reviewer: David James
Positive Comments: The melody is great, very commercial. Strong lyric…I liked the ‘blue eyes’ theme linking to the angel idea. The vocal suits the song really well. The song is dynamic. I liked the introduction of the keyboard at 2.08. Shades of Tom Petty about the song.
Constructive Comments: This is a great template for a song, but I feel the arrangement could be a tad sharper. Just my opinion but I would not have introduced the lead guitar at 0.32 but would have left it in reserve to build the song as it progresses. I would have used a drier patch on the lead guitar to give it sharper definition. A backing vocal at say 2.38 would have reinforced the ‘Thought you were angel’ message.It’s a strong song with engaging lyrics, which with a bit of tweaking could be taken from the very good to the excellent.
