Broadjam Artist: Simon Finn
Song: That’s How I Know

Reviewer: ROGER BOLT

Positive Comments: Loved it on every level. Michael Bublu’ and John Legend style , tone, arraignment, More of a smooth jazz ballad than a traditional blues but songs like this have all of those elements. Love to hear more. Somebody should sign this artist. Great lyric story and hook chorus.

Constructive Comments: I would consider this more of an adult contemporary balad with smooth jazz structures and progressions and potential market placement. Not much I didn’t like really.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Bifocal Blues

Reviewer: ROGER BOLT

Positive Comments: Apparently a live performance. Entertaining comedic lyrics and story. Great energy and character presence.

Constructive Comments: Not radio friendly per se but works great in a live venue performance piece. Don’t think blues is the right category for a novelty song like this though.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Time & Time & Again

Reviewer: ROGER BOLT

Positive Comments: I enjoyed the song very much. Listened to the whole track. Nice smooth baritone vocal…easy to listen to. Liked the story ballad lyrics rhyme. Nice chorus with the hook line and the bridge was well placed in the arrangement. Mix was balanced.

Constructive Comments: Vocal a wee bit off pitch on a couple places but not a bad thing really. I think it should be in the country category because of tempo, story, hook, arrangement and vocal style. Backup vocal could be just tad more present in the mix but placement worked fine.
