Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Really pretty song!! Very well written, arranged, and produced!! The melody is lovely and memorable!

Constructive Comments: I think the vocal could be a bit tighter….little bit of pitchiness, and it is mixed a bit bright. Great song!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Ogorod
Song: Familiar

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: I review music through headphones and on this particular track the vocals seem a little lost in the mix and muffled.Interesting vibe a la The Cure going on which I like. Liked the mix up in the rhythm track particularly in the instrumental breakdowns. Also really liked the guitar – a bit reminiscent of the current retro band Drab Majesty – check them out of you haven’t already. They are great – Ellipsis is a wonderful track I think you’ll like.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add here it’s all good.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: I Love You More With Each Day / Pop

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Really nice track. Lends itself to some really meaningful lyrics. Nice hook and I can see some really strong vocals behind delivering a very good overall song. Great Job! Find a good lyricist

Constructive Comments: Not much constructive things to say the music was great. Needs lyrics and a strong vocalist. Only reason I gave it 3/5 for potential is I think it needs the lyrics opens up many more doors. Good Luck!

Broadjam Artist: Marie Jarreau
Song: Polar Bear Christmas Time

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here is a super cute children’s Christmas song with a chilly original spin that I really like. The rhymes are fun and refreshing: walrus/chorus/before us. Christmas living/joy of giving – great thoughts put into catchy lyrics. Production is simple but effective. Vocal right on target and flawless. Nice job. Merry Christmas!

Constructive Comments: As much as I love this song, here is one thing I think was problematic. “Polar Bear Christmas” is sung so fast you can just barely understand what you are singing. You could either slow down the tempo or find a way to make it more understandable. The other thing I thought was a little strange was the lyric: All your worries soon forgiven. I know it rhymes, but who ever forgives worries? We forget them we leave them behind. Oh well, at least it’s original! (smile). I like your style and would love to hear more of your music! Mrs. Kate

Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Mary Did You Know?

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here is a beautiful rendition/cover of a popular Christmas song. The vocal is very beautiful. Passionately, poignantly sung. Nice job on the production. Love the “Great I Am” part at the end.

Constructive Comments: Do you have 2 versions of this song up? This is Delta, right? I think I have heard 2 different renditions this evening. Love them both! Keep the good music coming, my friend!

Broadjam Artist: John Hazlett
Song: Time To Celibrate Christmas

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here is a nicely composed Christmas electronic instrumental played on a synthesizer. Definitely has a holiday feel to it. Would appeal to children or adults.

Constructive Comments: This piece lacked a smooth cohesiveness, but only in some parts. It comes across as rather choppy. Maybe it’s those reindeer hopping over a rough roof.

Broadjam Artist: TOM HENRY
Song: Deepest Garden

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: High energy intro has such a happy feel. Tightly written, performed and produced rock song about getting high on drugs to remove the pain. Stellar, clear vocals. Excellent imagery. Original lyrics. Great ending.

Constructive Comments: Even though this song is well-written and performed, it made me sad. I see so many lives being destroyed by this “chemical reaction” and drugs.” When will it ever end? Whatever happened to the natural high? I’m glad Jesus saved me before I got in too deep, and I hope He will help and save you too.
