Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Even Now (Jimmy Michaels Night Mix)
Reviewer: Trinity
Positive Comments: This song has tremendous momentum with the percussion intro, then a real deep funky bassline that catches the ear and the feet. This very much reminds me of artists such as Central Line and a rap element very much like the Fun Young Criminals, and a great genre mix and blend of instrumental interludes, especially the funky wah guitar sound.
Constructive Comments: I love the dynamics of this song with plenty of variation, and a touch of Rick James, Prince and George Clinton, with a real retro-funk feel, while still sounding contemporary. I would personally have brought in the bassline a little earlier, or not let the percussion only intro last so long, in a time when A&R will listen to a track for sometimes a few seconds, there maybe needs a punchier start, but that is just a market thing, as a track on an album, or a 7 minute club mix, it’s perfect. I just took notice of my feet, they know when something moves you.
