Broadjam Artist: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance
Song: Left Yesterday
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: This reminds me of Scandinavia vocal duo The Kings of Convenience. The prechorus “I’ll follow the light” etc is a strong section. Very nice guitar work.
Constructive Comments: The song begins with solo section instead of an intro. OK you’ve got a so so voice. And that’s totally OK, so does Dylan. But you gotta work within limits to make it effective. Don’t hold out long notes when your pitch is iffy. And melodically it’s not working that well IMO. Why not make this a bit more recitative and don’t shoot for melody and sustained notes –go for more staccato phrasing.This really needs drums and/or percussion to give a rhythm impulse beyond the bass, which is not really pushing the beat that hard.The song has tons of room for improvement. I’d be remiss not to say that honestly it’s really hard to listen to now with the long, prominent flat notes. But the tweaks aren’t that hard to do.
