Broadjam Artist: Kitty Matkins
Song: The Way You Make Me Smile

Reviewer: The Watchman

Positive Comments: Your song was good. The originality of the song really stood out. This sounds like it is off of an older Amy Grant album. Your timber (the unique sound of your voice) is really good and has a nice attraction, pull to it. The arrangement was great and your chord progression was excellent. Your lyrics were very tender.

Constructive Comments: I believe your weakest area is your mixing. It was to soft and some of the instruments and your vocals were not loud enough. I think maybe some of the technical aspects could improve this song dramatically.

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Who’s gonna turn on a light

Reviewer: The Watchman

Positive Comments: unique voice. Your voice has a unique timber. good song good message. Really nice chord progression. Good effects on the voice. keep it up.

Constructive Comments: I wanted to here a stronger drum set. and here the music turned up a little bit more. The mix had your voice being so dominant. It was really good, I just think the instrumentation should have been a little bit louder.

Broadjam Artist: J Edna Mae Thomas
Song: Luminous

Reviewer: The Watchman

Positive Comments: Excellent recording,vocals,production,arrangement. professional sounding. I have not reviewed in a while and I was blown away at how profession this was. The only thing I could judge was my enjoyment from the song. It was pretty and done well. Professional and perfect.

Constructive Comments: The only thing that I can say that may help for the future would be to develop the song for more of a build or catchy turnaround hook. Because the luminos part was frequented so often it satisfies you or does not have the addiction that you want the song to have.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Solitary Life / R&B

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: Beautiful voice, really like the sound of the drums as well. Very cool guitar in the background.

Constructive Comments: I think the song sounds really professional – one thing though: the vocals blend in too much with the keyboards and guitar and it makes the vocals hard to understand – I would change the frequency of the instruments that should take care of the problem.

Song: I’ve Had Enough

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Positive Comments: I Kind of sounds like a novelty song. got a fun groove to it. musicains are good. it makes you tap your feet

Constructive Comments: The vocal is kinda of buried. seem like the lyrics need to be tightened up. its a little to rhymey but still some possibilities here. with a little work you could have a pretty fun track.

Broadjam Artist: Robert Wuagneux

Broadjam Artist: David J. Hentosh
Song: 3 Street

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Great vibe.

Constructive Comments: Lyrics could have been more out front. I’m gonna get subjective, but that doesn’t mean I’m right. Lead vocals, just my opinion, should have been grittier. There was more of a pop element to this than I personally would have liked to hear.
