Broadjam Artist: Vicki Lee
Song: Somethin’ to Ease th’ Pain
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Here’s a song with a very original topic. Basically the artist is asking for drugs to ease the pain of life, stomach, head, depression. It is a dark song, but I am sure that is what the artist intended. Starting off with a heartbeat percussion was a creative idea. Electric guitar and an unsettling ambiance characterize the introduction. This would be a great commercial for painkillers. Would probably work in a movie about a person addicted to painkillers.
Constructive Comments: Some of the lyrics are a bit muddy. Your vocal style is a bit unsettling, but again, I think that was your point. I don’t think that this song should be played for children…it ought to have a parental advisory on it.
