Broadjam Artist: Ben Allan
Song: Drunk

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: This has a good dance pop groove and smooth vocals. There’s an overall romantic vibe. It’s a contender that could be a winner with a few tweaks!

Constructive Comments: The vocal is too dark and doesn’t stand apart from the really dark key parts. Some of the vocal phrasing could match up with the rhythm more for greater punch. ‘drunk’ is kind of an ugly work, both the connotation and literal sound–what about using ‘high’ instead?

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Cloud-9

Reviewer: Zeiko

Positive Comments: Very nice song, good work!

Constructive Comments: The only thing thats missing is singing, that would really lift up the song. I think it has very good potential if you would add some song to it.

Broadjam Artist: Chip Salerno
Song: Night on Thompson Bridge

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Gives a sense of moving into unknown territory, nice evolution of instrumentation by way of orchestrations.

Constructive Comments: Same as above, no real issues, gives a sense of the mysterious and unknown, nicely done. Use of guitar patch up front could give a western feel. At first i thought the modulation was unnecessary but perhaps it underscores a change in action or tone.

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Falling Deeper

Reviewer: Lisa Vivienne

Positive Comments: Lovely dream-pop/easy listening song with soft and dreamlike vocals. Lyrics are well written and well executed by the vocalist who has a gentle and engaging voice perfect for this genre! Well done!

Constructive Comments: Song vocal pitching issues but nothing major..The build up towards the end should be toned down slightly to fit with the rest of the song… just solo guitar perhaps 🙂

Positive Comments: Great vibey song with a great set of vocals. The melody is uplifting and the electric guitar adds great value to this pop rock song! Well done!
