Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Hang On

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Excellent vocal timbre and melodic presence. There’s a lot of skill in the instruments as well.

Constructive Comments: The bass work is top notch but I think you need to decide whether the vocals or the bass playing should be the focal point. The vocal production is a bit reedy–too much midrange boosting? There isn’t much of a theme coming through in the lyrics–it meanders a lot. This has a lot of potential but do get the bass out of the way or decide you want to be Michael Manring and do bass instrumentals.

Broadjam Artist: George Michael John
Song: B4 The Storm

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: That’s a really cool intro! And this will work on dance floors too. There’s an almost Latin feel to this with the languid minor key lead work that plays melodic rather than riff based soloing. The electronic effects invoke Tom Morello’s work. Big heavy rhythm section is working well. Parts of this could be used for action movies, NFL shows, etc. where a badass vibe needs to be projected. This is not my kinda thing, so I think it means more when I say this is excellent work!

Constructive Comments: Nothng really–it’s all great. Maybe the kick is too hard-pointed?

Broadjam Artist: Beszo
Song: If i knew then what i know now

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: This starts with a catchy, lofi beat and then some really off the beat vocals come in. It’s working and this is cool. I really like how far the vocal rhythm is from the pulse, truly. This has an XTC sort of cool about it.

Constructive Comments: I think this is what it is. And it’s cool.
