Broadjam Artist: Jeff Cowhick
Song: KInd With Time

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really good, driving sound that’s layered very well. When a change is needed, it’s always there, keeping your interest. Really good instrumentation. Piece should be good in a fantasy scene of some type.

Constructive Comments: Very cool piece.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Love’s Oblivion instrumental

Reviewer: John Kelly Wilson

Positive Comments: The guitar work is good. Nice hook. A little sparse in the production. Maybe some strings layered in?

Constructive Comments: I liked it. The production could be a little lusher. But it was a nice relaxing instrumental.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Summer’s In The Sun

Reviewer: John Kelly Wilson

Positive Comments: The concept and lyrics are decent/good. But it sounds very much and has a melody like a slowed down “Dream Lover” by Bobby Darin. Plus the production needs to be much higher quality.

Constructive Comments: Again, better production, some backround vocals, and maybe change the melody a little. I did like the concept and lyrics. There’s talent there.

Song: It’s Electrifying (Arabesque Vocal Mix), ft Leanne P

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Cool vibe!! Great energetic groove!! Vocal is very well sung!! Hook is strong! Very nice work!!

Constructive Comments: I think the song could be a bit shorter or have another section which changes significantly….maybe slower with some held chords, different synth sound. You kind of led to this around 3 minute mark briefly. REALLY nice work!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: And When My Girl Smiles / Pop Alt

Reviewer: Clay Rehm

Positive Comments: I like the mood it creates and can picture hearing this on the radio, TV or podcast. I like the simplicity of the mix, that includes guitar, bass and drums. The song is catchy and I can see myself humming this line. The guitar parts remind me of Dire Straits, which is a really good band. I like the originality and the arrangement of this song.

Constructive Comments: I like the feel of the song, there are parts of the beginning of the song that did not feel that the echo lined up with the tempo, but that is a minor point. I would like to hear the bass more, and there is an opportunity for a stronger bass line with possibly less of a pedal (echo or chorus) on the bass, and more of a solid bass sound. The drums could be more distinct and in the mix as well. This song stands on its own but could benefit from those changes. I could envision hearing this in between segments on NPR or on a TV show where the scene is somewhat somber or sad, but things are looking up for the characters.
