Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: God Only Knows

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: I like the title and hook of this song. There are some nice harmonies, too. Drum intro is different and fun to listen to. There are some nice guitar leads in this song. Favorite rhymes: speak her mind/out of time. Verse 3 is the strongest lyrically. Nice placement of the bridge. I like the outro, too cool organ sound.

Constructive Comments: I feel like there are some timing issues in the verses that need addressing. Even after listening twice, I really didn’t get the story of this song. I totally didn’t understand verse 1. Maybe if I go back and read the lyrics, it will make more sense to me. Could be an age thing I am 64.

Reviewer: The DoGoods

Broadjam Artist: Jeremy Price
Song: Somewhere to Belong

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This song evokes feelings of peace. It reminded me of a quiet morning or evening on the beach when the surf is calm, waves just rippling in. The tranquil repetition give the song a meditative feel, which might be good for an environment that needs a peaceful background music. The song slowly builds and has enough variety to create interest on the part of the listener.

Constructive Comments: I think that the lead piano notes deserve a bit more gain in the mix. Otherwise, nice job. Keep up the good work.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Namida No View Finder (featuring Sali Oguri)

Reviewer: Powerklash

Positive Comments: Very strong lead vocal and harmonies.

Constructive Comments: I do not understand the words. Very dated sound and mix. Sounds like it could be on the soundtrack to “Risky Business”.
