Broadjam Artist: Ladee V
Song: Restoration

Reviewer: HAWC

Positive Comments: It’s always encouraging to hear other artists artistic expression especially when it’s a testimonial approach to expressing spiritual experiences influenced by the Gospel. This track sounds and feels like a cross between Jazmin Sullivan & one of the Clark sisters. It has a lot of potential!

Constructive Comments: The vocals sound more powerful than the track / production. Not that the music is bad, it just sounds like there’s more experience and polish with the vocalist than there is with the music part of things, the caliber of expertise aren’t equally yoked, but neither are bad.

Broadjam Artist: Barry Osbourn
Song: Amber

Reviewer: HAWC

Positive Comments: This is magnificently put together! From the very 1st note to the end it ooozes perfection and audible pleasure that are so rich and rare. This is the kinda of stuff that inspired me to even BE a musician. Stuff we don’t get on the radio anymore, at least not here in Columbus, Ohio…which really sucks. Makes me wanna move even more.

Constructive Comments: There’s not one thing wrong with this track other than I probably would’ve put it in the jazz category for Jazz Fusion or ultra contemporary. Everything else on this is gorgeous and delicious! Oh yeah, the other negative is this track makes me re-think (yet again) about staying in Ohio! I need to MOVE and get to the places I’d prefer to thrive! So there, 2 negative, Prolly not really exclusively R&B and makes me wanna leave my family in Ohio! lolol
