Song: Beautiful Sin

Reviewer: Mamma Freedom

Positive Comments: Hey AshleyNice to hear from you.Firstly have great voice, good range, great pitch. You have some nice texture in there too and a good control.The hook of the song is a very good idea and some great production towards then end with the synths and additional vocal harmonies and ad libs. Id like to have felt like I did there through the whole song

Constructive Comments: I am finding myself saying this a lot lately to reviewees. When you change parts them its a good idea to change timbre and instrumentation.The chorus has hinted at that with the electric guitars but needs to be bigger and more defined and dynamic.I like the m8 and that works nicely and coming out with the hits on ‘Felt like heaven, very clevery and well thought out and really adds quality to the song.Overall. Great qualities and musicianship, vocals and lyrics.You should be very proud of it.Dont forget i am mixer / Producer thats worked with artists who between them have sold over 20 million records so if you need any mixing:alex@cmimusicgroup.com

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: atmospheric

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Song builds real nicely from a very good intro. Guitar kicks in at just the right time. Strong composition that would sound good in the background of something like a mystery or thriller movie or possibly even something lighter, like a love story.

Constructive Comments: Good work.

Constructive Comments: Good tune!

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: Stars

Reviewer: Randy Ruebsamen

Positive Comments: Very pretty melody and chord changes. I really liked the organic feel of the strings. I think the hook is quite strong and memorable. Good use of imagery in the lyric.

Constructive Comments: I felt like the lead vocal and harmony might connect better if aligned a little tighter. And possibly going higher on the word “stars” sometimes would add interest. The song has a very nice flow to it. Really nice work.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Don’t Let It Scare You

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Nicely crafted piece that has a real nice steady flow to it. If Gordon Lightfoot and Jim Croce could get together, this sounds a lot like something they would do. Lyrics are very soulful and intelligent.

Constructive Comments: Really nice tune.

Broadjam Artist: Peter G Olach – PGO
Song: BluesIan

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Great blues sound with a wonderful mesh of instruments. Love it towards the end when the guitar and harmonica join hands. I could picture this playing in the background in a drama or suspense movie.

Constructive Comments: Good groove.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: My Heart

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Clean and slick sounding track.

Constructive Comments: Song would benefit from an intro.

Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: CHOOSE A WAY

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Very pretty song!! The music has a wonderful whimsical quality. The vocal is very passionate…hear a bit of Tony Bennett in your style. Lyrics are very interesting. The simple arrangement works perfectly for a song driven by story.

Constructive Comments: The vocal has a lot of reverb. I love reverb but it may be a bit too much. Part of it depends on what you’re going for…..it does have a retro sound and the used reverb heavily in the old days. I thoroughly enjoyed this!! It seems to me it may find a home in film or TV. Great stuff!!! Take care. Greg
