Positive Comments: Right from the start I was hooked by the piano work and obvious production quality. Then the female vocals came in and I knew this song was a winner. The vocals have a incredible emotional impact . I can feel the emotion behind the lyrics. The beautiful vocal quality and range is a lovely addition to an overall beautiful song. I am super glad that I had the opportunity to discover this lovely musical piece. I so look forward to hearing more. Gorgeous.

Everything from the instrumentation to the production quality and lyric content was incredible. Everyone involved in this beautiful song has some tremendous talent. It was a pleasure listening. This will be a lovely addition to my playlist. Keep up the magic! 🙂

Song: BOUND FOR NOWHERE

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: Cool Intro. I wasn’t expecting for it to go into the direction it went. Nice surprise. I honestly thought it was going to go into a Neil Young kind of direction. Fortunately it didn’t!! Singer has a interesting n playful voice that fits right in with the playfulness of the song. Good work all together

Constructive Comments: Not much to criticize here. All around thumbs up for a change! Keep up the good work!!

Broadjam Artist: Howard Delnick
Song: Where Are You Gonna Sleep Tonight

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Like the lyrics in this song. An interesting topic taken on by few song writers. Nice music bridge. Like the chorus lyrics. A sensitively produced song.

Constructive Comments: You did a nice job on this song, but I would be curious to hear how a studio might produce it. It has potential.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Maybe

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Nicely produced song with a hook which is easily distinguished. Love the backing…musical bridge. Good strong vocal. Song sets up nicely for the ending.

Constructive Comments: But “maybe” there are too many maybe’s before the final and concluding maybe.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Ever Since the Rainbow

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: It’s a sophisticated latino number, slightly brooding, with melancholy hues but with a sunnier ending. Highlights are the flamencoish, harmonized acoustic guitar solo in the middle, and the one in the coda, electric and Santana sounding. The percussions also sound very good.

Constructive Comments: I don’t know what to say. I hope it’s ok. You should improve your diction.

Broadjam Artist: Randy Calligan
Song: Moments Long Forgotten

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Played this twice. Love it. Love the hook and it is a great story of life, love and family. The lyrics are so well wrapped and the song uses stunning imagery. The song transcends the normal and expected. Thank you for this journey. Melody is haunting as is the vocal.

Constructive Comments: No need to add more.

Broadjam Artist: Carol Ann Jones
Song: The Cloud

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Nice vocal and backing. Quality recording. Enjoyed the song. Liked the harmony usage at the end…well done.

Constructive Comments: Although I think the vocalist has a wonderful voice, I didn’t get the feeling she expressed the mood of the lyrics. Just me. I could be wrong.

Broadjam Artist: Nick Berry
Song: She Won’t Need Me

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Just love the piano and the song moves nicely with a very cool lyrical base. Original melody makes this song stand out from many songs in the category, and I like it. Lyrically, this is one fine song. Pleasure to hear. Really nice bridge, too. Well constructed and performed.

Constructive Comments: No additional comment.

Broadjam Artist: Keith Taylor
Song: More Than Friends

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Really nice lyric flow and the song features a strong vocalist. Love the harmony in the vocal. Nicely done! This is such a strong category and this song measures quite nicely.Like the ending vocal harmony.

Constructive Comments: Seems like the instrumental shimmers and I can’t tell if that is intentional or something in the recording process.
