Song: atmospheric

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Nice intro and build up. I like less is more.

Constructive Comments: Like me you sometimes use little or no hi hat which I particularly like. I’m guessing there’s a full vocal version on here somewhere. harder to score without the melody line. But a nice instrumental.

Broadjam Artist: Bill Gaunce
Song: SHAKE IT OFF!

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Wow, what a great R & B song. The hook is amazing! It’s actually quite a good motivational/inspirational song (unusual for this genre). I really like the way the artist developed the theme and I truly dig the message, because sometimes we DO need to shake it off and move on. And we all need love. The instrumentation is fantastic. Performance great. Lyrics original. This is one great song!

Constructive Comments: I found myself wishing the lead vocal had a little more oomph in the mix. It would make the sound more effective and powerful. You were too far in the background for my liking.
