Broadjam Artist: Douglas Branson aka dB+1
Song: People, Places, and Things

Reviewer: Matt Jones

Positive Comments: Not bad lyrics, slightly reminiscent to me of Blur, its got potential. I like the ‘stay away from people places and things’ line and the ‘conversation’ type lyrics that happens Not bad lead guitar either.

Constructive Comments: Was hard to understand a lot of the lyrics and at the start theres an artificial (to me) sounding vocal effect I’m not really a fan of. The twinkle of piano at the end was nice, more of that would be good.

Broadjam Artist: Monday Funeral
Song: One Step Back

Reviewer: Matt Jones

Positive Comments: Good singing, nice guitar playing, I liked it.

Constructive Comments: Hard to think of anything, other than adding a full band to the song. It sounds good as it is though.

Reviewer: Matt Jones

Positive Comments: Pleasant to listen to, nice background music, good drums.

Song: Sinking (performed by MAGDALENA)

Reviewer: Matt Jones

Positive Comments: Sounds a bit like No Doubt or alines morissette. I enjoyed it, a nice solid sound, sounds professional.

Constructive Comments: Cant think of much, maybe something high pitch to cover that pitch range.

Broadjam Artist: Jason Kessler and ProRS
Song: Birthday Taco

Reviewer: Matt Jones

Positive Comments: Very fun song, highly original, was not expecting that! It was enjoyable and I could imagine it being used in a taco advert or a film where its a kids birthday party.

Constructive Comments: Maybe some female backing vocalists would be good.

Broadjam Artist: David J. Hentosh
Song: 3 Street

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Right in the pocket, well done.

Constructive Comments: Only real complete is that it sounds a little programmed, not bad, really well done, just a little to perfect rhythmically . Very nice arrangement, good dynamics, I’m guessing the phrase is ” freak Street ” … it’s a little hard to tell exactly.

Broadjam Artist: Billy Pilgrim
Song: Amazing Grace – Featuring Morgan Hannah

Reviewer: KCKeys

Positive Comments: Interesting take on a standard. Great and unique vocals. Great recording. Harmonies are great as well. Although radio ready per se, I am not sure if a station like K-Love or AirOne would pick it up. Possibly.

Constructive Comments: Because it is a cover song, it is difficult to give any contstructive criticism to the song it self. Your adaptation/version is unique. As far as a style, it is almost a combination of Enya with a more youthful pop vocal.

Broadjam Artist: CaiNo
Song: Plastic Rap f Wallah

Reviewer: Keith Burgess

Positive Comments: catchy hook. Lyrics are good. Good quality recording

Constructive Comments: I think the song is good. I think you may want to add more elements to the song to add some more depth to the track. Overall it’s a good song. Good job

Broadjam Artist: Jay Paperz
Song: MONEY

Reviewer: Keith Burgess

Positive Comments: The track was good. May want to consider a few drops and a couple different mix variation to give it a little more kick. Overall the track was good

Constructive Comments: You may want to try different vocal techniques to highlight you as the artist so it will give a nice blend to music.
