Positive Comments: My thoughts as I listen to your awesome song: (I like to take notes as I go so this is very real ) )1. 5 Seconds in : Sweet Synth! 2. 5 – 10 seconds in – Am I listening to Disney’s “Mulan”? hmmm. 3. EVERYTHING AFTERWARDS – WTF!? AMAZING. Friggen hilarious and I need more of this awesomness! During the last 25 seconds of the song, I was still laughing over the creative choice of lyrics. I look forward to hearing more pieces that keep me on my toes and that ultimately end and leave me hooked, laughing my ass off, and wanting more. Well Done!!! As a side note, your voice is truly lovely and the production quality is impeccable….Love it!

Constructive Comments: Ugggh. There is nothing to say here. However, I am new to Broadjam and “it” likes that I provide a specified amount of “constructive criticism”. (aka word count) However, I refuse to provide any type of criticism on a song that I listened to 10 times over, laughing every single time. Needless to say, keep making this magic. I’m loving it! 🙂

Positive Comments: I love the beat! This instrumental piece is extremely versatile and I could imagine hearing it as accompaniment for a wide array of movie trailers or background music for TV series across a wide array of genres. The simplicity in combination with the clearly professional instrumentation and production quality is what makes this song special in my eyes.

Constructive Comments: I really like this and I really don’t have much criticism as a general matter. Of course, I could advise you to add more dynamic and more of an instrumental “hook” that captures one’s attention and draws them in emotionally. However, something tells me that this piece was made for movies and TV soundtracks. If I am right about what your intended purpose happens to be, than it’s perfect! Should you not have considered this, you should absolutely give it a shot. This song is great for commercial purposes!
