Broadjam Artist: DENNIS MAKEPEACE
Song: katy’s dance

Reviewer: Billy Pilgrim

Positive Comments: A happy, comfortable, approachable tune that would work just as well as a film/tv theme as it would in the music bed beneath a tourism ad. Great production and arrangement. Great performances too folks…bravo!

Constructive Comments: Top notch awesome. As good as you are on the acoustic instrumentation it makes me yearn for that “drummer” to rise up to your fine talents. Really good tune. I’m going in for another listen.Take good care,Billy

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Cough, Burp, Sneeze

Reviewer: Billy Pilgrim

Positive Comments: Too fun. Sure, gather the kids and sing along… but I like this one just for a listen and chuckle any time of day. And this would be perfect on tons of kids shows. Great, fun work indeed.

Constructive Comments: As always… right on the money. Keep up the good stuff.Smile tons,Billy

Broadjam Artist: Jon Babb
Song: Lady of the Light

Reviewer: Billy Pilgrim

Positive Comments: Stunning. Bigtime stuff here for sure. A perfect soundtrack requires builds, drops, quality hook, combines synth with orchestral parts when needed… this song has all that and then some. Bravo.

Constructive Comments: I love it all ways!Take good care,Billy

Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: Yakatajazz

Reviewer: CaiNo

Positive Comments: Incredible piano work! Easy to hear you are a pro for sure! Very cool and slick arrangement. I like the horn arrangement too. I can see you slammin on those keys! way cool

Constructive Comments: Bass didn’t really give an authentic feel. Need a real bassist or look into Trilian for your DAW. With your piano skills you will love that. Horns are a bit dated as well. But the feel of the track gets through. Nice job

Broadjam Artist: The Rap Ghandi
Song: HOMMI (INSTRUMENTAL)

Reviewer: CaiNo

Positive Comments: Hot track! Banger for sure! You should have no problem selling this track as is. Bass is heavy and hits hard, as it should. Nice work!

Constructive Comments: Lead hi synth could be updated to a more current sound/patch to give it some timelessness. But I’m sure you will have no problem selling this track. Great work

Broadjam Artist: Gizzmo aka Miselph
Song: We Gone Party

Reviewer: CaiNo

Positive Comments: Right on point with the west coast style. Sick ass song! Gives me a DJ Quik/Nate Dogg feel! Excellent. Lyrics and delivery are perfect. Great song!

Constructive Comments: High harmonys needs a tiny bit of pitch correction or some careful compression. Great song! Well done!

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: SHUT YOUR MOUTH

Reviewer: CaiNo

Positive Comments: Beautiful voice and chords. Nice changes. Background vocals also right on. I love the clever lyrics in ballad form. Really makes it impactful. Huge amounts of soul dripping from every inch of this song. Organ sounds good too. Lovely song!

Constructive Comments: Was really waiting for those drums…and when they came in. I wasn’t 100% crazy about the sound/pattern. Didn’t kill the song for me, but maybe one day when this song gets signed and famous they will pay for a drummer for that quick section. I don’t think the snare should be on every beat. Doesn’t sound authentic. But this song is 99% there without the snare hits.

Broadjam Artist: Bellavida
Song: Look At How We Lay

Reviewer: CaiNo

Positive Comments: I immediately fell in love from the intro. The cool guitar with the live strings. Wow. Voices are incredible. One of the best songs I’ve heard on BJ. Yes indeed. Beautiful melodies and changes and lyrics. Mix is fabulous. Everything is top notch and ready for the big time. I expect to see/hear you on TV real soon. This is 100% PRO! Perfection!

Constructive Comments: This song is everything. I need a copy now. Snare mayyyy sit on top of the vox only in one or 2 sections. That may be itttt.. but this is one of my favorite songs now.

Broadjam Artist: MoBack
Song: You are the one for me

Reviewer: CaiNo

Positive Comments: Cool track. Very placeable. Great for video game or tv commercial for sure. I like the arrangement. Clever instrumentation and synth work. I like the bridge part a lot. Well done! Very musical.

Constructive Comments: Kick could come thru a bit more with some bottom end punch. Maybe sound/patch updates..but..Depending on the use, this might just be perfect. I see this in a video game 100%. There are lots of listings for those so I would definitely shop this to a vg supervisor.

Broadjam Artist: stefo
Song: i am stretched on your grave

Reviewer: CaiNo

Positive Comments: Very intriguing song and arrangement. Beautiful lyrics and voice. Great stereo spread and mix. Shakers sound great. Guitars are nasty and when that hip hop break came in I was like “Oh Yea!!” . Awesome song! I wanna see this live!

Constructive Comments: It just got better and better. Not even worth critiquing. It’s really good listening from start to finish. Maybe a couple tiny pitch issues but it doesn’t take away from the song’s greatness. Well done.
