Broadjam Artist: Mike Cantwell – TalentEast Productions
Song: (Country) First Words Out of Your Heart (Do help rewrite)
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: Your vocals remind me of Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), which is a good thing! Listen to Pavement’s “Spit on a Stranger” to see what I mean. I really like the vocal delivery but it’s a totally Indie Rock delivery, which is also good. The second time I listened this went from “rough” to really charming.
Constructive Comments: The production and mix are terrible… But the song is so endearing, all along with vocal performance–I don’t think you probably how close this is to being an Indie Pop classic. I’d drop the bridge (“calls out to me”) –that feels like too much of a side trip from the guts of the song. This could be so good with some work!!!
