Broadjam Artist: Keith Taylor
Song: Born To Dance

Reviewer: Bob Bentley

Positive Comments: A very appealing song with a straightforward approach. The acoustic guitars were well played and just sounded right for the track. Very good clean vocal performance also. The story song was well told and the track well recorded.

Constructive Comments: Just an idea that the “Born To Dance” repeats might sound even better with a harmony and fading slightly, rather two solo vocals on top of one another?I really enjoyed the song and wish you luck with it.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: The Rose

Reviewer: Joe Pope Music

Positive Comments: Liked the arrangement, good instrumentation, vocal was decent, recording quality was very good, story of the song was really good too!

Constructive Comments: I think it`s very marketable for it`s genre, definately has potential to be a hit in that area of easy listening fanbase. Would sound really good in a sad romantic movie too.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Tomorrow

Reviewer: Joe Pope Music

Positive Comments: I like the instrumental elelments of the song, nice strings, good piano/keys arrangement. Lyrics were nice. Had a lovely little melody that can grow on you.

Constructive Comments: The vocal needed to be a bit more louder in the mix, I felt it was overpowered by the instruments at times. A better mix would make this song sound much better.

Broadjam Artist: The Cram’s
Song: The Long Goodbye

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Nice melodic pop/jazz tune, very fluid and a tuneful voice. Maybe No Doubt meets Michael Franks.

Constructive Comments: Nice tune. Only suggesti0n is that you might get something close to “Don’t Think ” by No Doubt. Keep the Caribbean slightly jazz influenced chords but rock it a little harder and improve the recording quality a bit. Course if you want it to stay more light jazz then do nothing.

Broadjam Artist: Denis Hackett
Song: Is There a Light

Reviewer: Eclectic Soul Orchestra

Positive Comments: This is a beautiful ballad that is remthat iniscent of something by the Eagles. It has a pleasant and appealing tone to it that makes for easy listening. I very much appreciated the vocal talent and the harmony was spot on and well arranged.

Constructive Comments: It would be good if the chorus could be distinguished more so from the verses. Perhaps a well placed symbol or some type of ambient sounds to distinguish the transitions…

Broadjam Artist: Steven Furr
Song: Dreaming Blue Bossa

Reviewer: Eclectic Soul Orchestra

Positive Comments: there is nothing better than bossa-nova jazz. This is a well arranged piece of music and its simple enough that every instrument within the song is able to stand out. The bass wasn’t overpowering, and sounded balanced against the other instruments. I look forward to hearing more of your work.

Constructive Comments: nothing really to say in this section.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: That Strategy

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Very tuneful bit of 90’s pop punk with a little bit of 80’s vibe thrown in for good measure, nice arrangement, solid performances all round.

Constructive Comments: Sounds like there might be some variations in overall master level, might be too heavily compressed, or just not properly compressed.

Broadjam Artist: Dave Mason
Song: A Song for Mary

Reviewer: RICARDO ALONSO

Positive Comments: good overall production. good choice of sounds. the song is calm, positive, relaxing. good melody and instruments melt together easily. good work

Constructive Comments: good as it is this theme has plenty of different options to be used.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Harrisburg

Reviewer: RICARDO ALONSO

Positive Comments: this song has good beat and rhythm, very jazzy with bossanova stints. good melody

Constructive Comments: did not like the drum sound, very electronic for a song that has little electronic feel although you cataloged as electronic.

Broadjam Artist: N.Jones, Music Designer (Protilius Productions)
Song: I was doing alright Ft.Noel (2016 Cover)

Reviewer: RICARDO ALONSO

Positive Comments: Voice is really good, emotional and she feels what is singing. the song has good melody and easy to remember. Instrumentally is simple, could be more enhaced but is ok.

Constructive Comments: for me is a pop ballad which is not bad. production is not good, voice needs some treatment, and there is a lot of noise that you caught specially in the end of the song.
