Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: EOLIA

Reviewer: Jeremy Price

Positive Comments: Wow! I truly had no idea where this was going, in a good way. Nice build into a high-paced synth driven ride. Just when I thought the track was over you stepped it back down into a nice, smooth subtle piano outdo, nice touch! Overall great job and I hope to hear more.

Constructive Comments: Really nothing here, I feel this is one of those tracks that can be on the lines of both progressive rock with electronic vibes as well. Keep up the good work!

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Oh Yeah

Reviewer: Jeremy Price

Positive Comments: Killer track! Grooving bass line with awesome guitar riffing. I especially would like to highlight the almost synthesized guitar solo tone it really added a nice touch. Really enjoyed the harmonizing vocals as well. This reminded me of an old school Muse track!

Constructive Comments: Track was great, nothing negative to say here. Minor file query, I am not sure if it was a broken upload or if is meant that way but the ending when I listened cut off at 3:36 a little abruptly.

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Rollin’ In Your Arms

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: More instrumental than lyrical, this fun-to-listen-to song is light, crazy fun and dance-able for sure. The instrumentation and production are very high-class and incredibly good. I can just see everyone wanting to get up and dance to this tune. Awesome introduction. Love the sax! Keyboard player totally rocks. “Rollin’ in Your Arms Again.” Excellent phrase! Great job, guys!

Constructive Comments: There’s really nothing wrong with the vocal but it was kind of “even-keel” all the way through. I would have like to hear it spike with a little more passion, a little edge, and variation here and there.Is this blues or jazz? Sounds so jazzy fun to me! Mrs. Kate

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: You’re Not Dreaming

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is a power-filled rock love song…with elements of caring, healing, finding a way out of pain…a good theme, well-executed by a band that obviously has it together. Notably great are the various players who all have their moments to shine…guitar, keys, bass and the drummer keeps things going great as well. One thing I like about this rock song is that you can (insert cheering here) UNDERSTAND THE VOCALS. So many bands drown out the lead vocalist in the mix but somehow you guys avoided that pitfall. Thanks!

Constructive Comments: The intro was a bit long. I wish you the best with your music. Keep up the good work. Mrs. Kate

Broadjam Artist: Jeremy Price
Song: Journey Home

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: 2 guitars play off each other in this exquisite instrumental piece–the composer has created some really sweet ear candy here! I love this song! It’s well-thought out, beautifully executed and peacefully presented. The composition ramps up midway with percussion and some added energy, but smooths out with a well-crafted outro that pleases the ear. Think of how much less tension there would be if companies would select something like this for their hold music. Nice mix, steady rhythm. I could listen to this kind of music all day.

Constructive Comments: No constructive comments. You obviously know what you are doing. Wish I could play guitar like that! Just curious…were the guitar tracks laid down separately? Or were there 2 guitarists sitting across from each other making this happen? Mrs. Kate

Song: Rainy Night

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the sound of the drums and the cool drum rolls as well, I also really love all the guitar riffs and runs – Great stuff!

Constructive Comments: I really like this one, this song really has some great structure – the only thing that I would change is that I would go with half lead guitar and the other half saxophone, somewhat dueling back and forth – best wishes!
