Broadjam Artist: lost on foot
Song: paint a smile

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very pleasant song with a very pleasant beat. It flows very smoothly. Instrumentation and arrangement are great. At the beginning, you think Jimmy Buffet is coming at you, but after listening a couple times, it sounds more like you have a persona all your own. Best of luck.

Constructive Comments: Only thing I could even consider changing here is the line “feeling weak when you want to be strong.” The only reason I say that is because I was guessing along, and I just kind of knew that would be the next line. That is just my test of originality. If I can guess the next line, it needs to be changed. May be a dumb rule, though. Best of luck with this and all of your undertakings.

Positive Comments: I love the delays and serenity. I imagine it as background music in a metaphysical shop or yoga studio. It feels anticipatory, like something is about to happen. It’s positive and light.

Constructive Comments: I don’t have much to suggest. It fits well into the genre listed and anybody wanting to hear new age-meditative, wouldn’t be let down on this. Also, who am I to suggest for you to change something? Basically, the ‘bones of it’ are good, like the mix is good, nothing out or whack. Effects are nice. I like the delays, like I said earlier.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Ideal World (Ft. CoriAnder & Amy Reader)

Positive Comments: I dig it. Vocal tone is clear and pretty. Good fit for the genre. It’s real chill.Mix is good.

Constructive Comments: I don’t have much to suggest, but I was kind of hoping for a drop into a harder beat, like where we could fist pump and jump along to the beat, like when the DJ gets the party going. But, the chillness of the track is cool too. I get that was the vibe intended. Just an idea for a remix, I guess. Keep of the good work. Music is medicine! 🙂

Song: Dwell

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a nicely put together instrumental track. I could see it in a video game or some other commercial application. It’s a pleasant listen…could even be hold music for a phone. I would love to hear the version with lyrics. Whoever put this together did a nice job choosing samples and blending percussion with the keys.

Constructive Comments: So…what is this song really about? Am I right? Is there a version with lyrics? Why, oh why is the ending cut off? Mrs. Kate

Broadjam Artist: James Hamilton
Song: We Will Overcome

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is a great song for Martin Luther King Day. The “We will overcome” hook is different enough to distinguish itself from the original song. The choral arrangement is inspiring and uplifting. I really like the way male and female vocals alternate in the verses, very sweet!

Constructive Comments: From a commercial standpoint, the song is probably way too long. I suppose the long repetitions of the chorus might be good as a background vocal for a documentary of pictures of civil rights marches, etc. I like your song! Mrs. Kate

Song: CHERRY ON THE TOP

Reviewer: Rebekah Withakay

Positive Comments: I like the lyrics.I think it could fit well on TV/Film soundtrack on a comedy show. It’s fun and whimsical, brings a smile, like similar to an SNL sketch song.

Constructive Comments: The only thing I think that could improve it is slight pitch correction in a couple spots.Check ( adding the times in the song for specific spots):”It’s obvious” at the very beginning of first verse.”Icing on the” at 0 :43″Baby” at 0:54″anytime soon” at 1:26″compromise” at 2:22
