Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: BEFORE THE WORLD STOPS SPINNIN!

Reviewer: MCarollShaw

Positive Comments: Lyrics are very positive. Cute and old-fashioned sounding song reminiscent of a bygone era – the 1920’s? This song could perhaps be useful, I would think, in the right movie.

Constructive Comments: The lyrics were unique, but the music sounded like a version of some other tune. This may be the fault of the arrangement.

Broadjam Artist: Toni Fournier
Song: It’ll Never End

Reviewer: MCarollShaw

Positive Comments: Like the music. Like the voice. The song immediately brings an image to mind. Even though there is nothing said to let the listener know where this is taking place or what circumstances have made the singer come to this, the mood is conveyed quite clearly and that is an excellent thing.

Constructive Comments: I take this song as a threat (It’ll never end). I would like to have the threat made more clear. When she says she’d like to have more room to “display”, it would be nice, if somehow, it were more clear just what she intends to display to make her lover know for sure that she means business. (Does she have a weapon or does she intend to merely display herself? Maybe your intention is for us to wonder.)

Broadjam Artist: Sam Look
Song: Someone Else’s Life

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Great rock ballad!! I love hearing a progression which has more 7ths in a rock context…..works great. The opening guitar hook is very effective. All the musicianship/production, and particularly the vocal sound great! Wonderful job!

Constructive Comments: Leave it as it is!! Great stuff!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Jonathan Le Vay
Song: Refrigerator

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: A very cool song….great groove and great energy!! The musicianship sounds very good to me. Love the chord progression. The change up in the arrangement, building and easing, is very cool. Nice stuff!!

Constructive Comments: The only thing I think could strengthen this is going earlier to the secondary musical theme. It works very well! Outstanding work!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Toni Fournier
Song: It’ll Never End

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Hi Toni. Another really cool song!! You have a great groove going here, musically and lyrically, and you deliver a vocal with a lot of feeling! Really like this!! Lots of soul!!

Constructive Comments: As with your other demo (I’m guessing this may be an older recording?) I think the recording/production could be better as could specifically the vocal EQ. Really like the song and the basic arrangement, although some subdued percussion would fit in nicely. Take care. Greg

Song: Over The Rainbow

Reviewer: MCarollShaw

Positive Comments: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is not a new song that has doubtless won accolades from many important judges of songs. I do not feel qualified to rate the song as it has been a favorite song, sung by a multitude of millions of amateurs and professionals throughout the many decades it has been sung. The only thing I can rate is the voice which I will say this: it certainly sounds above average.

Constructive Comments: Since this is not a new work, I don’t have much to say about the music or lyrics. The arrangement and instrumentation did not sound particularly unique. The voice is generally pleasing however.

Broadjam Artist: N.Jones, Protilius Productions
Song: Deep Rising (2013)

Reviewer: larry costa

Positive Comments: this is quite interesting. I get a lot of good feelings from the music. I can see it in a car commercial, or on-board the USS Enterprise! so many unique sounds in here. the instruments sound amazing. and the recording is excellent. I can listen to this in the car on long trips. so many ways to use this music its perfect.

Constructive Comments: there is nothing wrong with this. you are an amazing composer.
