Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey
Song: An Island NEW MIX

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: I liked the way the guitar fades in after the seaside sounds. It’s a lovely dreamy track. The chord progression is beautiful. Great vocal delivery. Lovely arrangement. It takes me to the sea. I can really feel it.

Constructive Comments: My only criticism is with the mastering. The overall sound is slightly muted. That’s why I’ve marked down the recording quality. It would be a shame if that prevented the song from being picked up for commercial use. I would revisit the mastering so that the song is presented in the quality which it deserves.

Broadjam Artist: The Bitter Elegance
Song: Calling You Out

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: A very strong performance all round. Great vocal delivery. Nice instrumental arrangement. Well mastered…it really jumps out of the speakers. It’s a contemporary sound, which is good from a marketing point of view. Good use of light and shade in terms of the production.

Constructive Comments: I would say it’s radio ready. It’s certainly good enough for pitching to industry listings. Good luck with this.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Uptown

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: Lovely stereo separation. Nicely mastered…it jumps out of the speakers. I like the dynamism of the tune. The guitar work is lovely. It’s very melodic. Great drum sound. Just the right length for an instrumental such as this.

Constructive Comments: My only real comment is that I would have used a more subtle keyboard patch. The guitar is the king here but the keyboard is trying to muscle in onto its ground on the first part of the piece.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Remember When

Reviewer: Ben Allan

Positive Comments: Very 70s vibe, with lovely lead guitar sound. vocal pitch is nice and works well for this genre. seems like a prog rock type of vibe

Constructive Comments: Possiblly the 70s sound would restrict any commercial success but i nice tune all the same

Broadjam Artist: Douglas Branson aka dB+1
Song: Your Boyfriend is a Dick (Pop Version)

Reviewer: Ben Allan

Positive Comments: lovely simple pop tune with a sinister message about your cheating boyfriend. 🙂 this is a fun tune. Not sure if you are going for the comedy market but seems to be a certain tongue in cheek tone to the vocal

Constructive Comments: nothing to add here, its a good tune with a nice vibe

Broadjam Artist: HarryBudini
Song: Insane

Reviewer: Ben Allan

Positive Comments: strange and quirky is the best way to describe this, a nice chorus riff that made me smile when i heard it,

Constructive Comments: the verse doesnt work as well as the chorus riff that is definitely the highlight of this tune.

Broadjam Artist: Drew Hale
Song: She’s Like Fire

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I really love the beat and the sound of the drums and all the guitars for sure. Great lead vocals, I think this song has great potential. Sounds a little like Jason Aldean.

Constructive Comments: Great sounding song, I love the drums and the recording. This song is radio ready with a lot of get up and go. The only thing that I don’t like is the first ten seconds or so, instead I would start the song with the first drum beats – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Don’t Waste Your Time ( featuring AmieLee )

Reviewer: Ben Allan

Positive Comments: A good pop rock tune. Reminds me of Asian pop sound but definitely a song I could hear as a theme tune to a tv series or featured In a movie

Constructive Comments: Nothing much to add here, a nice tune and something that I enjoyed listening to

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: The Shoe Song

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: Beautiful voice, sounds a lot like Ms Kate. Great lyrics and message as well, I like the sound of the guitar as well. Sounds a little like Annette Funicello.

Constructive Comments: Although the recording sounds a little rough, I think it is a great Christian Song and gives us much hope in Jesus and His ability to do anything He wants to do, best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Drew Hale
Song: Gettin’ Our Church On

Reviewer: Scott Tingley

Positive Comments: This is the kind of country music I want to hear back on the radio instead of some of the trash that’s passing as mainstream these days. This song could be one of those that leads the charge in turning the tide to a return of real music. Sounds a little like Hank Jr. The organic jam of electric guitar, bass guitar and poundin’ drums work powerfully well with the great lead vocal. Love the spiritual message and this song. Keep rockin’.

Constructive Comments: It would be interesting to hear your band record a version of this with a Hammond B3 and a chick back up singer. There’s a lot to this song.
