Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: Walking Through Clouds

Reviewer: Floyd Kelly

Positive Comments: Thanks for this music. At first I was conjuring up mental images related to France – due to the chosen instruments by the artist. The more I listened to this, I thought, hmmmm…., this could be a good track in a Final Fantasy sidequest perhaps – because it’s easy, relaxing and entertaining at the same time.

Constructive Comments: I think the sound of the rhythmic guitar could be a little more present in the mix. The musical arrangement where it tempoes to a quick stop or (don’t know what to call it – sounds like a soft glitch or reverse reverb), it happens 3 times in the piece – I found it distracting. Overall, I liked this, thanks for making this and hope you have a great day/evening.

Song: Wind Song

Reviewer: Floyd Kelly

Positive Comments: I like the sound of the guitar and the acoustics. While listening, I’m reminded of a pivotal motion picture scene that takes place in the desert perhaps. This is a nice relaxing music piece that will go nicely in my music library for relaxation.

Constructive Comments: I don’t have too much to add this was a relaxing listening experience. Only small constructive comment would be a little too much “bell” sound on parts for the guitar. Thanks and have a good evening/day.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Kilimanjaro Moon Dance (WINNER: Best Exercise Song”)

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This song takes the listener on an 8 minute musical journey. There’s definitely a lot of thematic repetition, but enough variation in the several “movements” that eliminates any possible boredom with the tribal vibe. I like the percussive effects inserted here and there. The violin strings section provides tension. There is enough unity and diversity in this production to make up for the length of the song. Magical and creative. Well done! I am sure this took a long time to create, and a lot of work!

Constructive Comments: You obviously know your stuff and are some kind of a synthesizer genius. I wish you every success in your music. I would definitely look into getting your music on Audiosparx. You might find some licensing success there. Just be ready to really know how to describe your music.

Broadjam Artist: Mitch Siegal
Song: Chasing Fair

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: What an amazing musical ambiance this song presents! It’s just so beautiful from the first notes to the last. I love the instrumentation and underlying music bed! It’s so full and magical. Definitely a transporting experience! The beauty of the lyric writing is the simplicity. Less to do…more time with you. (my favorite lyric). Simple, memorable and effective! I can see this in a movie…just because of the fullness of sound. Very winsome. Last guitar chord: Oh so sweet! This song just sounds amazing!

Constructive Comments: Why the breathy/windy beginning? I would edit that out. I don’t see how it accomplishes any purpose. As much as I love this song, I could not discern what you were chasing as the lyrics weren’t clear. At first I thought you were chasing bets…then fairs? After I complete the review I will look up the lyrics and hopefully figure out what you were chasing. Don’t let that beautiful production squeeze out the clarity of your vocals. Personal comment: Yes, there is a right and wrong, much as some would like to forget/ignore it.

Broadjam Artist: lost on foot
Song: chicago girl

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: I love your accent! The chorus is so simple, beautiful and memorable, and only got better when you added those impeccable female background vocals. Song tells a story of a couple meeting on the shores of (Lake?) Michigan. Simple and pretty easy to follow. I like the constant rhythm guitar augmented by the really cool electric guitar riffs, super smooth and memorable. You’ve got a great voice and I wish you the best with this song!

Constructive Comments: Obviously Chicago is not in Michigan. I am assuming then, that the encounter was on Lake Michigan, but not sure I ever heard the word Lake. No big deal. Loved your song. Keep up the good writing and I hope to hear more of your great voice!

Broadjam Artist: Janet Murphy
Song: Running Red

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Very moody and sultry blues , down so far it’s on the ground and begging for mercy. Nice guitar tone.

Constructive Comments: Got a lot of potential. My constructive criticism would be that at points it’s hard to tell if it’s a guitar tune with some vocals, or a vocal tune with a lot of guitar fills. Nothing bad with either performance but they seem to be competing for limited space.

Broadjam Artist: LaWanda Lee
Song: Finer Thangz

Reviewer: Denis Hackett

Positive Comments: Very professional recording. Would easily fit with some of the current artists out there today. Lovely mellow feel. Would not be out of place with Mary J, or similar artists. Good Job.

Constructive Comments: No changes required here, this song is just fine as it is.
