Reviewer: Felice Kaye-Cooper / Songwriter

Positive Comments: Love the feel of the song. Excellent vocal for this genre

Constructive Comments: Only positive comments to say. Best of luck

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Goodbye Doesn’t Mean Goodbye -Solo (#1 Country-Americana)

Reviewer: Wayne Graham

Positive Comments: The arrangement for this song is near perfect. The guitar and piano play off of each other well. I like the upright bass sound as well. The bridge is one of the strongest parts of the song in my opinion.

Constructive Comments: Unfortunately, the hook, which I don’t tend to care very much about in general, is not the strongest part of the song. Although, Goodbye doesn’t mean goodbye did grow on me, I really wanted that last line of the chorus to slap me in the face. Overall, it is a quality song.

Song: Somewhere to Belong

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Nice build up and chord progression. I like ethereal type music. Really liked the string notes that were held for long periods whilst other instruments danced over the top. Some lovely cello type sounds too. With atmospheric.

Constructive Comments: Some more ambient sounds would really transform this into a more modern piece worthy of a movie.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: Ruby Diamond Elephant Race

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Not sure what to write for this!

Constructive Comments: This very basic recording and instrumentation leaves me cold.

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Climb

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Great vocal sound and performance. I wonder if you like Gary Numan? Some of his recent stuff is reminiscent of this with the addition of heavy synths. Check out his track called Ruin and another called Haunted – awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you like it – your sound could be truly awesome if you got in a synth player!!!

Constructive Comments: Well performed gritty stuff that is not in need of advice from me.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Out of the Gaze of the Evil Eye

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: The beginning reminded me of some stuff by Francis Dunnery – you’d like him I suspect, ex front man with 80’s prog rock/pop band It Bites!! His album Tall Blonde Helicopter – check it out.I like interesting lyrics and you have them here.

Constructive Comments: None to add, I like it as it is.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Angels

Reviewer: Jeremy Price

Positive Comments: Nice arrangement. Nice tape sound with great playing,

Constructive Comments: I really felt the verse flowed well. My only feedback would be I felt the chorus’s could lift a little bigger. The lead guitar that doubles on the chorus vocal melody I think actually takes away from the vocal. Possibly a lower octave may let the vocal stay more prominent.

Broadjam Artist: PeeWeeStarr Production
Song: Chapters

Reviewer: Jeremy Price

Positive Comments: Great work. Didn’t know what to expect at the very beginning. Nice chill, solid groove. Could definitely hear this in some Sports placements.

Constructive Comments: None really. Maybe cut it down closer to 3 min, but that would be it.

Broadjam Artist: Joseph Miller
Song: The Favor

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: This was a throw back kind of country song with all the elements , reminds me of David Allen cole songs.

Constructive Comments: the recording was not as clear as it could be if it was produced. The siging was a little off in places, but it had a strong country sound.
