Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Riverflow

Reviewer: Sonic

Positive Comments: It reminds me of the Fixx from the 1980s

Constructive Comments: The keyboard sounds/patches need to be more modern, they sound too 80s….although that could be what you are looking for

Broadjam Artist: Tristyn Leach
Song: Somehow, Someway

Reviewer: Sonic

Positive Comments: It kind of reminds me of Luna and Talking Heads…Hypnotizing

Constructive Comments: No suggestions other than maybe a harmony guitar track to accompany the 2nd guitar solo to help distinguish it from the 1st and help bring the song to a more climatic close

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Waterfalls

Reviewer: Barry Douglas

Positive Comments: The guitar arrangements and percussion elements are well balanced. This is an excellent recording! It reminds me of Craig Chiquiro, and William Ackerman, as well as Steve Stevens all great new age and jazz recording artists. I would definitely like to hear more from the artist that recorded the song I just reviewed. Thank you !

Constructive Comments: It might help to include a vocal harmony , even without lyrics. A female or male an female vocalist in the background can lend something romantic to this beautiful arrangement.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: I’ll Be The River (Instru)

Reviewer: Barry Douglas

Positive Comments: Although not now remembered as a musician and possibly not recording recently, Leo Sayer is a singer songwriter from the 1970s. This song was reminiscent of a famous song of his with a beautiful melody . The title of his song “when I need you ” seemed to be echoing in this melody and arrangement with piano and strings .

Constructive Comments: Possibly record a guitar solo or arrange a twelve string acoustic part for the middle of the song . It might balance and heighten the dramatic nature of this bittersweet melody and give the piano a rest and then come back in for the second half .
