Broadjam Artist: The Watchman
Song: Sweet forgiveness

Reviewer: George Molden

Positive Comments: I like the song its more of a Jazzy kinda fill different i would defiantly like to hear more your voice reminds me of Michael McDonald keep it up thank God for sweet forgiveness and spreading the good news

Constructive Comments: only suggestions is remixing the track so you can hear the vocals stand out a little more and hear the fullness of the song try using like a Multi-iband compressor and Eq it gives you that punch you need

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Send It In Down / Hip Hop Dance

Reviewer: George Molden

Positive Comments: Nice instrumental has that 80s fill to it with a little Carlos Santana lol but other than that i like it its defiantly different keep it up !!

Constructive Comments: Only thing i would say about the track is beef up your sounds and really make it hit you in the face usually when I’m recording I make sure i put all my speakers and equipment Centered and if it sounds full centered it will sound full loud just a idea keep producing !!

Broadjam Artist: Vicki Lee
Song: Go Rattlin’

Reviewer: George Molden

Positive Comments: Straight off the top i like the beat defiantly a Pop vibe to it keep producing not sure what artist i would put this up against maybe.. someone from Houston its very catchy

Constructive Comments: Just from listening and I’ve got the same feedback from other people on my music as well just fill the music and let yourself free don’t rush through the song i believe it you were little more comfortable you would have nailed it

Song: Breathless / R&B

Reviewer: George Molden

Positive Comments: I like the song reminds me of Sade i the hook is very catchy and the warm vocals are very enticing i would love to hear more from you

Constructive Comments: Th arrangement of the song was really good but the only thing i could hear would be a more update of the sounds the song is amazing the quality of sound and is more of a 80s tape kinda feel very vintage if that was the route you were going you hit it right on the head be inspired i would love to collaborate with you

Broadjam Artist: Floyd Kelly
Song: Sepia’s Waltz

Reviewer: Moonstone Moods

Positive Comments: The melody was pretty, it’s not normally something i’d listen to but I can appreciate other styles of music as to what I/we do. The sound was decent though maybe needs a little more stereo influence. It did remind me of the family all sitting at Grandma’s while she played the organ, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Pretty melody though.

Constructive Comments: A little bit more mixing and different sounds could/would work with this keeping the piano as the main instrument it works, dig deep and experiment with it no matter how long it takes, the end product could be well worth it for you.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Elvis On A Telephone Pole

Reviewer: Moonstone Moods

Positive Comments: What can I say, A fun song with a good band/instrument backing. I always wondered what really happened to Elvis :p I can see this being used in TV/Film.

Constructive Comments: All in all a good song, your “run of the mill” rock tune, and it works. Maybe the guitar could do with a bit beefing up though but that’s not a criticism in any way, just my personal view.Vocals were a wee bit out of tune at places but that just added to the charm of the whole song. I loved it!

Broadjam Artist: Robert Wuagneux
Song: Fly So High

Reviewer: Chet Nichols

Positive Comments: Casting a song’s genre is a tough job. This song is in the Folk-Contemporary genre….in my opinion this is a jazz and pop “standard”… It is not a folk song. The song is well sung and the singer has a strong presence and timber that is dead-center in the jazz-pop genres. The song idea is common (aren’t they all at this point-in-time), so what makes a song unique and separates it from the pack? I think it is the cadence, the melody and unique twists in the lyrical content and I think you do/did that very nicely throughout the whole song. It clearly has a future with the right artist singing it, in a music library and/or movie or TV track. Nice job.

Constructive Comments: My only constructive comment has to do with the arrangement, which with what you have does a nice job presenting the song. But, I think it deserves a richer, beefier backing track. I think a B3 organ would add a bluesy touch that could really spark the track instead of the bell-link pad currently in the track. Also, some simple, laid-back strings would fill the track up. Finally, I would add a few spots were a duet would pop in and out and maybe some backing “Ooo-& Ahhs”.I only offer these suggestions if you are considering doing a different version of the song (which is something I do many times). Anyway, good luck with the song and thanks for sharing….

Song: Firefight / Heavy Metal

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the driving rhythm guitar in this one and the steady beat.

Constructive Comments: I really wish this song had more drums and a bass guitar, I think that would make it sound so much better – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Hank Thomas
Song: Till St. Peter Lets Me In (Female)

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Positive Comments: instrumental and vocals seem top notch. good mix. i liked how it started out full and dropped to the acoustic guitar

Constructive Comments: the only thing that bothered me was that the lead vocal didn’t feel apart of the song. it didn’t have the same energy. its a very emotional song and the lead vocal should show that emotion. very good voice but could sing it better i think.good work

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: HERE’S AN IDEA (featuring Tim Scott on vocal)

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Positive Comments: like the lyrics and melody. So the song is good

Constructive Comments: something at the beginning was off.Voice was a little too hot. pitch on the lead voice goes off key alittle but that might be that it’s sliding up.
