Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Will You Still Love Me? (Folk, Pop-Alternative)

Reviewer: Mitch Siegal

Positive Comments: Loved the lyrics, This was definitely written by someone who has a tremendous amount of life experience. It was honest and that is what makes a good song great. Thank you for the listen.

Constructive Comments: I would’ve liked to have heard a little bit more sectional contrast As well as some additional instruments in a bridge such as violin/fiddle or even a slide guitar. Other than that it was really well done. Keep up the great work!
