Broadjam Artist: Randall Mark
Song: Wonder Girl

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Sweet tune with nice lyrics.

Constructive Comments: Not a big fan of the multi track vocal tracks unless they are much closer in sync.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: Sutherland Road

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Beautifully executed song and perfectly sung. Vocalist sounds eerily like Don Henley in places.

Constructive Comments: I’d edit is the middle violin solo – a fraction too long for me. And maybe some backing harmony vocals? Sutherland Road is a great vocal hook with could be explored a little more with harmonies. I guess what I mean by that is that a more definitive chorus chanting Sutherland road could be really effective and made rich sounding. great song though.

Broadjam Artist: TOM HENRY
Song: The More You Play

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add it’s great as it is. That’s a cop out but I have seriously nothing bad to say about it.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Call Me Romeo

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: Not sure if Americana is the rite genre for this track. There is some good guitar playing throughout the song. The drums sound a bit stiff and synthetic. I think a better drum software would definitely add a little more shine to this track. All in all not too bad thouugh.

Constructive Comments: Could use a better mix and drum software!

Broadjam Artist: Barry Osbourn
Song: Yes We Can

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: I’m a lyricist so my area of expertise is there, however this was infectious and interesting. A little bit Country, a little bit Rock and Roll? Maybe more pop? Instrumentation is perfect lots of cool changes, Arrangement was perfect certainly could hear this in a film great work!

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add I am impressed would certainly want to hear more from this artist.

Positive Comments: Very pretty song, very passionate keyboards, felt the emotion. Could see a marriage with strong lyrics making this a winner. Excellent work! I could certainly hear this in a film or TV series.

Constructive Comments: Really don’t have anything to add here it is a very well written piece and the piano playing is top notch very soothing

Broadjam Artist: Penny Towers
Song: The Highest Apartment

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: Very jazzy lounge sounding track. Not sure if New Age is the rite genre for this song to be in. I think it would fit more in one of the jazz sub genres.

Constructive Comments: The mix could use a little work!
