Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: I love it!! I usually never review Soundtracks with lyrics, but this was worth the exception. Very Broadwayish or Cabaret vibe to a very visual waltz Great listen.

Broadjam Artist: Zundeep
Song: Breaking my back

Reviewer: GoCasual

Positive Comments: This is a cool tune that’s very atmospheric. I like the effects on the guitar and vocals. It has a slow trance feel that carries you along. The lyrics fit the mood and tone, and they are well thought out. The singer has a great voice and stays in key. You came feel the emotion. It’s interesting having no bass in the first verse and adding it later. Cool tune!

Constructive Comments: The song has a slow, dreamy quality that pulls the listener in. The sudden shift in energy at the bridge/end is such a stark contrast from the rest of the song that it almost feels abrupt. I don’t know if adding a little transition into that part might help the listener. But if the aim there is to wake the audience up then keep it as is.

Song: Betwixt

Reviewer: Jeff Ashbaker

Positive Comments: The guitar is played with the intensity of Michael Hedges and the harp penetrates to the soul.

Constructive Comments: Great job, nothing to add

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: Gone Missing

Reviewer: Soul Bind

Positive Comments: Wow guys there is so much in this song! First it immediately made me think of scorpions. Just has that raw edge to it. I like the harmonies in the beginning and drum solos don’t often occur anymore. The singer has a really strong voice and the guitars sound good

Constructive Comments: For me I’d like to hear the chorus have a bit more of a hook. Skinny down the lyrics a bit and I’m not sure it needs the harmonies. Production wise I think there could be more sonic qualities given. The song seems strong and I look forward to hearing more

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: She Can Fly

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Very nice song. Simple, yet sophisticated. I liked it. Loved the background harmonies, as well as the lead vocals. Great voices.The recording in its entirety was very well done.

Constructive Comments: I enjoyed it, but I would love to hear the lead vocal be a little stronger than it is. I’d like to hear it stick out from the music a little more. I loved the lead male voice, but it wasn’t quite loud enough. Other than that, top notch. Great job.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Can You Hear Me? full piano/instr

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Very Beautiful Instrumental. I am a keyboard player, and was instantly drawn in by the piano. I especially enjoyed the fact that it was combined with the strings, nice touch. I just really enjoyed this song. Thank you.

Constructive Comments: The only constructive feedback I could give you, is I wish it were longer. I wasn’t ready to let it end. I simply enjoyed it. I could sit and listen to the piano for hours, and your playing was simply beautiful. Very nice job.
