Positive Comments: I like this country-rock track. This classy guitar sound and Johnnie Cash-like vocals. It’s like going back in the times and it really works!

Constructive Comments: The only comment I’d like to add is that the drums and bass in the song should be re-mixed, because now they are too far away from the ears and can’t make you dance. The song itself is good enough to make one dance, however, in order to do this, consider making a rhythm lines more groovy. Also, rewrite the first solo, there are some details, which might be played better.

Song: My Heart

Reviewer: Ogorod

Positive Comments: This is a good song and it pleases the ears. The harmony is good and it resembles classic rock like Wild Horses Rolling Stones. The chorus is also nice.

Constructive Comments: It’s maybe a bit too sweet and too wordy. As this song is more about a story, consider adding some accents in the words and play with the melody of a vocal line to make it more diverse. The verses are too much repetitive

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: Footsteps in the Hallway, A SWG-Starburst Song

Reviewer: Ogorod

Positive Comments: This is quite an epic work with a lot of ideas inside the song

Constructive Comments: It’s not a trip-hop, I think it’s electro pop. This song has a little too much of everything. The structure is fine, but there are too many sounds and lines in an arrangement. Consider making it much easier. Think which excat instruments give the feel that you seek for your song and mute the other part. Work on a rhythm more and consider making another vocal line for verses, it’s a bit too much words and the rhyme is very repetative, which may make one bored. The song is quite depressive also. Consider save all the topics, but try to say it some with some other words

Broadjam Artist: SRJ
Song: Been So Lonely

Reviewer: Ogorod

Positive Comments: I really love the voice of the girl. I like the track in general also. It’s a vocal house music, not electropop, though

Constructive Comments: So, the thing there is some catchy hooks. But the arrangement is too simple. Consider finding another timbre for a bass or change it as the song develops. Regarding lead synths – on my taste, they are a bit out fashioned and sound very 90s. However, consider adding some other synths as a layer, it may help. the development and structure is good in overall, but the song is too long. Try to make a 3 minutes version with all the best that you have in 5-minutes one.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Busy Airport

Reviewer: Ogorod

Positive Comments: There is a specific mood, which can be more vivid if you change the rhythm part, play with it.

Constructive Comments: 02:30 – the transition is completely out of rhythmThe transition from the first part to the second part is not prepared and it doesn’t sound good enough.The structure is too complex, consider making it much more easy and way shorter.Try to add some development for the song which won’t repeat the previous parts. This song lacks catchy moments and should be heavily redone.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Minimal (ft. CoriAnder & Gus Harrower)

Reviewer: Ogorod

Positive Comments: I like this track. It’s catchy and definitely has a hit potential

Constructive Comments: I think it lacks background sounds or another rhythm back line, maybe percussion or hats. Verses 1 and 2 are a little too empty, maybe some background rhythmical part will do. And maybe you need to try to make the chorus part more vivid.
