Song: Love Before Fear (Instru with Sax)

Reviewer: Ladee V

Positive Comments: Great instrumentation! I really enjoyed listening. This was more Jazz & R&B but there is no category for that! 🙂 Great job

Constructive Comments: Not a whole lot to say here. I thought the piece was great. There wasn’t anything that stood out to me that was “different” from any other jazz R&B piece that I’ve heard before but overall it was very good! Keep up the good work. I am sure this will find it’s way to licensing very soon! 🙂

Song: Running In The Dark

Reviewer: 3Mind Blight Music

Positive Comments: Wow….This was great. From the start. The intro. Cool Piano. The start off with the ethereal female vox followed by the back track kicking in. Very nice instrumentation and the mixing of the vocals etc mesh very well with the music. This is very well produced and on a pro level.I do believe that this could be a hit..not a lot of cussing or senseless nonsense. Very refreshing. Great Job.

Constructive Comments: The song seemed a little long at first but upon a second listen it kept me interested the whole time. I am a producer and a Rapper/artist and I must say this was a great work of art. The intro,outro,Instrumentation…vocals lyrics. Everything was great. I am impressed by your skill and mastery of the production. You should do very well in the industry. Plus..you have a new fan now

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Doing Business

Reviewer: 3Mind Blight Music

Positive Comments: I really like the use of guitars and the synth lines. I appreciate all of the different sounds in the song. I think I heard organs,synths and two maybe three different guitar styles..plus the Harmonica. I really liked the sound of the Harmonica..How cool. Great instruments and synths and sound effects.

Constructive Comments: At some points all of the instruments at once kinda mudded up the mix but hey for everything that you had going on in the song I think a great job was done and I am sure it was great fun for all involved. I do not think it is a Grunge song though. It is certainly a Rock song but as far as a genre…it has so much to classify and I would have listed under unique….because it is. Great Job.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Street Music Suite

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very haunting and beautiful piece with a great riff and great strings. This should make really good background music for any number of projects.

Constructive Comments: Good work.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Quantum of Jazz

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: THis is a really cool piece……the pulsing nature is like the heart beat of the song! Love the way the instruments play off each other. It is very catchy and easy to grab on to. THe arrangement/production sound top shelf to me. The 007 part in the other section fits so well with the other part. Wonderfully put together!!

Constructive Comments: This pretty much works for me just the way it is! It is so well done! If there is one thing I would change, it would be maybe back the bass off just a bit (although every playback system is different). The lower frequencies of the bass seem a bit heavy to me. AWESOME STUFF!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Jonathan Le Vay
Song: Junction 5: Time Out

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: WOW, this is just GORGEOUS!!! The playing by the musicians sounds as good as I can imagine….expressive piano like that gives me goosebumps!! And the sax player is just as good. This should be a movie score…..If I was a director, I’d grab it!! BEAUTIFUL!!

Constructive Comments: As much as I love this (A TON!!!), I think the drums are too loud at some points (particularly the snare sound)…..the music is so delicate and the drums (and the bass at times) overshadow the beauty of the other instruments, although they are played wonderfully. I would back them off and make them more subtle. AWESOME SONG!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Gone Baby Gone (Jazz – JazzPop/Light Jazz)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Really, really cool song!! Love the old club jazz vibe! The singer has tons of personality, and a really natural, comfortable style that fits this song so well. THere are some wonderful lyrics. I love this type of writing….crafty, clever…..just right! Great job!

Constructive Comments: THis is a great song!! I feel the recording/production could be a bit better….processing on the vocal, etc. However, the way it was done does give a lot of authenticity……sounds like the personality of recordings that came out of the era this song was inspired by. WONDERFUL job on this baby!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Baby It’s True (New Version)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is a catchy song!! It has that quality that great 80’s songs had…..just makes you want to keep listening and grabs your ears. The vocal is pretty good, the synth works fine, and the structure of the song is appropriate.

Constructive Comments: Good song!! I’m not crazy about the drum sound….there are some drum programs which are very affordable and good these days. I feel there should be some rocking electric guitar with this style of song. Also, the recording sounds a bit muffled. If you can diversify the arrangement and get a better mix, you really have something good going here!! Nicely done! Take care. Greg
