Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Get Even

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: Firstly, the lyrics are excellent and I mean top notch. I like the insistent quality of the melody, which fit the lyrics perfectly. The song has a strong hook. Some nice percussive elements in the song. The song takes the listener right to the scene of the crime. It’s a very engaging and memorable song, in fact the chorus is going round my mind as I type this.

Constructive Comments: I would have liked the vocal to be slightly higher in the mix. I found the electronic intro morphing in to a country/semi Celtic vibe slightly strange although I do like those electronic elements in the outro. A change in melody and/or instrumentation at 2.48 would have added extra spice to the song. It’s for those reasons I’ve marked down the arrangement, although the musicianship is excellent.Overall it’s a really strong song.

Broadjam Artist: Sonic
Song: Runaway From The Fire

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: I like the Led Zep ‘Nobody’s Fault but Mine’ style intro. Great instrumentation. Strong vocals. Nice changes of direction at 1.17 and 1.55. Fantastic guitar solo. Love the outro at 3.00. Excellent sound quality and production. A very dynamic song that keeps the listener on board. Terrific stuff.

Constructive Comments: My only gripe is with the abrupt ending of the song. For me it would have been better with a big Heavy Metal style ending with extended chords, lead guitar runs and drum fills, or alternatively reintroducing the intro effects. That said, excellent work.

Song: Make Me Dance – Electronica

Reviewer: Kevin Leon Smith

Positive Comments: This is a great tune! First, a great action packed intro, first of all! It’s a cheetah crouched low, digging in. The great arrangement and instrumentation of this song are the soundtrack for this sonic track-meet! The percussive rhythmic flow provides the thrill of the chase. By the end, I wished I had made this tune!

Constructive Comments: Construct a song just from that intro for us, please? Oh, B# and you will C!
