Broadjam Artist: The Trouts
Song: Talk to Me

Reviewer: SaltonSea

Positive Comments: I like the chorus hook. It almost reminds me sort of like early punk rock mixed with classic glam rock like t-rex.

Constructive Comments: The performance needs to be a tightened up a bit more and the mix needs a bit more clarity and definition.

Broadjam Artist: Brion James
Song: Heal

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is a song of healing, a plea for healing. It has a depth and ambiance of sincerity that really come through to the listener. The writer uses very simple lyrics to make his point…a good example of word economy. Vocal is understandable and nicely sung. Guitar work is admirable there are some really good lead licks in there that seem to speak and tell a story.

Constructive Comments: The song is long. The introduction is very long. Work on originality in your lyric writing. Keep on writing. You have a unique style and I’ll look forward to reviewing more of your music.

Broadjam Artist: Barry Osbourn
Song: My Home (instrumental)

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a pleasant instrumental that’s fun to listen to and has a memorable hook. Nicely mixed and put together. Good instrument choices. Keep the good music coming!

Constructive Comments: This doesn’t particularly impress me as a children’s song. It just sounds like a nice easy listening instrumental. Over 4 minutes long. Maybe that is good for video games?

Broadjam Artist: Kevin Desire/Cholinga Praise
Song: Love on the Rock

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a well-thought out and produced rock instrumental. I can see people dancing to it. Or it could be background music for a video. Nicely done. Tight production and great job on the instruments and mix. I really like the ending!

Constructive Comments: Is there a lyrical version? Just curious. I always have a hard time thinking up a title for instrumentals

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here is a motivational song that is original, brutally honest, and REALLY ROCKS! Every now and then you hear a fresh voice and style that really impresses you. This is one of those times. My favorite line is the one about sitting on his duff. The subject matter is excellent, something that many people struggle with. Great instrumentation and background vocals. What’s not to like about this song? I love it!

Constructive Comments: I did have to click on the lyrics to make sure I understood the words and where you were going with this. Christopher Columbus has fallen into disrepute in some circles, so the politically correct might disdain your song. But I really like it! Bravo! I want to hear more!

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: Take the metro

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Constructive Comments: Keep the good stuff coming.
