Broadjam Artist: Rainier Artists
Song: Just Believe in Love

Reviewer: Drew Hale

Positive Comments: Great beachy vibe to this tune! Reminds me of something that Jimmy Buffet or Kenny Chesney might sing. Jazzy Island feel. Great nylon string guitar lines. Strong melody with solid vocals and good performance. Clean, clear recording. Well produced. Solid vocal harmonies, and great piano work. Lyrics are full of hope. Nice work!

Constructive Comments: Constructively I don’t have a whole lot. The recording was well produced, and the vocals were excellent. The overall song direction felt a little bit trite to me. The piano/pad sounds and performance had a bit of a dated sound to them, and made the track feel a little bit cheesy in spots. Like lounge music rather than country with an island feel. The lyrics flowed well, but overall these lyrics, while well written, were so existential (believing in “Love” and “Fairytales” and “Unicorns”), that there wasn’t an emotional connection to me. It felt like grandiose ideas rather than the nitty gritty reality of love, which didn’t really do much for me as a listener. To me, it feels like it’s been done many many times before. I think you have some great musical concepts here, but I would challenge you to go a little deeper for the next love song lyrically. Overall though, a fun song to listen to.

Positive Comments: this artist reminds of beyonce very good catchy lyrics

Broadjam Artist: Keith Taylor
Song: Crank It Up

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Crank it up, some good time country boy rock and roll, solide coal and guitar playing. Definite potential in this one.

Constructive Comments: As is I bet this slays em in small clubs and Tiki Bar type places, might be worth doing it with a full band , the song has potential. I’d turn down the lead guitar a little, I know you want to crank it up but it’s a little loud and in places over playing the vocal, playing is good though, you just need a real production.

Broadjam Artist: solagre music productions
