Song: Wicked Little Lies

Reviewer: Signal 30

Positive Comments: The vocals are good. The guitars are really neat. The drum beat works really good. It is very unique I enjoyed listening to it!

Constructive Comments: I think you have some really neat ideas going on here. Some parts the lyrics were hard to figure out. Other than that this song is pretty neat!

Broadjam Artist: CaiNo
Song: Heating Up (Instrumental)

Reviewer: The Cram’s

Positive Comments: Love the funky groove. Nice layers and interesting effects. Some first class players. Nice melodic lines. I felt happy listening to this song. I could hear this at a jazz club in the city…

Constructive Comments: Intro maybe a smidge too long. Feels at times a little repetitive. I wonder if the guitar solo at the end, and bass during the break could be a bit louder? Overall I love it!

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: LYING

Reviewer: The Cram’s

Positive Comments: Nice tempo,good solid backing band. The band mix is solid. Nice backing vocals. They remind me of The Beatles in some places.

Constructive Comments: I felt the tone of the vocals was a bit flat. I would like to hear them sounding brighter in the mix. That is my main complaint. Otherwise, good work.

Broadjam Artist: Tony Marino
Song: Get A Hold Of Yourself

Reviewer: The Cram’s

Positive Comments: Obviously, an amazing pianist! Wonderful musicians all around. The song has tension, and would be great in a movie or commercial. Makes me think of someone running around, juggling responsibilities. This to me is straight up jazz. Not sure I heard the Latin aspect.

Constructive Comments: Not really my style, and it kind of made me nervous. But, perhaps that is the intent! I don’t think I can find fault with anything really.

Song: Heart Shaped Glass- ( Featurung Mellisa Duvall

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: A very marketable idea and uptempo enough to get someone to notice. Metaphor is easy to understand and the lyrics follow through very well…they certainly don’t let up on the metaphor.I like what the vocalist did with it…she was dependable and strong throughout.

Constructive Comments: Backing track and Backing vocals were not so good. The mix was messy….The “lie lies lies” got really old after the first one…this song needs a better arrangement…could go far…

Broadjam Artist: Josh Walker
Song: Just As I Am

Reviewer: The Cram’s

Positive Comments: This song felt sad at the beginning, and then transitions into a breezy, light song that made me feel like you were missing someone dear. Someone you have good memories of… Recording, mix, and musicianship are all excellent. Loved this…

Constructive Comments: I don’t have anything negative to add…

Broadjam Artist: Zeiko
Song: Evolutionary Tendencies II

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey

Positive Comments: Has a Tangerine Dream feel………very cool, maybe a tad dated, but would still work in a Movie Sound track or a Sci Fi……..so what the heck do I know?? Love to hear more from this group!!!

Constructive Comments: It is, what it is…………I have always wanted to use that dumb Ars phrase…….so there!! The tune sounds good and original….that’s a plus!!!!

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: I Miss Your Fire (Country)

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Some very interesting and unexpected chord changes throughout this rocky ballad of a rocky love gone cold.

Constructive Comments: Vocal flat a lot….guitars pretty messy…to many layers…simplify

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: 100 TEARS FROM NOW (featuring Melissa DuVall)

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Wow…this was sure a joy….Is that Melissa Duvall?…Just wondering…thought I heard a little twang.Really a nice recording and mix…Brenda Lee would love this…Stands on it’s own though….liked everything about it…almost…lol…(they ask for constructive comments here…)

Constructive Comments: Minor point…thought the piano was a little too bright…other than that…you’re good to go.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Big Blue

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey

Positive Comments: Terrific Lead Guitar work….all sounds pretty original!!! I can’t think of any artist, that it sounds like??? And that’s a GOOD THING!!!!!

Constructive Comments: Musically….it could use a little bit of variation…..BUT it still sounds KILLER!! Very Creative…………….
