Broadjam Artist: Jimmie Lee
Song: Windy (Love In Her Eyes)(Radio Edit 2)

Reviewer: Stanford

Positive Comments: Nice industrial mood overall and interesting interaction between the singers. Is it one or two.Wendy certainly sounds like a handful.The beat is very strong and punchy, I’d be throwing some pretty vigorous and aggressive dance moves if I wasn’t relaxing on my sofa here.I like the chunky guitars at the start, I like my guitars so I’d bring those back a bit higher in the mix more if it was me.It’s good there’s a lot good going on.

Constructive Comments: I find the singing a bit dry I think in terms of the mix, I’m learning mixing myself and it’s subjective, it’s got a nice mechanical feel to it which I do like but I’d prefer it a bit more bedded in the mix, maybe a touch of reverb.It’s certainly dance inducing, I’m not a natural EDM man so ignore if you wish but for me I’d prefer a bit more space somewhere in the mix to break it down before giving me back the big beats! The energy is full on all the way through. Listening again there is a break but I didn’t feel it first time, the pace isn’t changed quite enough for me.I think also you’re maybe missing bass and bottom end.But cool, filled with energy for sure.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Farmer’s Daughter

Reviewer: Stanford

Positive Comments: The lyrics are a bit cheeky, which I think is it’s main selling point.Production sounds very nice to me, nice instrumentation.Very easy listening.Lovely recording and mix of guitars and slide. And some nice synths sounds at the end to fade away on.I’m not hearing much bass, bottom end. That’s my only thing re the mix but that’s maybe a bit Country.

Constructive Comments: I think the arrangement could be better, the part about the farmer being away needs spicing up rather than down musically in my view, that’s the spicy line and the hook lyrically. Musically it takes me down rather than giving me an oooh!

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: That’s One Thing (You Don’t Understand About Me)

Positive Comments: Nice Job! Great all around! Send the engineer a bottle of champagne!

Broadjam Artist: Jeana Potthoff
Song: Impasse

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: Here we go again, there is no better pianist on Broad Jam, I think I know who this is, but I am only guessing?? I will be surprised if I am wrong, but it won’t be the first time! Great feeling and emotion in this composition, this Musician/Artist needs their music in film for the whole world to hear!! Beautifully performed!

Constructive Comments: Zip, this is perfection! Tremendous Job!!

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Boodon Stomp (Instrumental)

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: The blend and balance was nice, and the instrumentation and recording quality were rock solid. I don’t hear this as Country though, definitely a blues chord progression so Blues Rock might be a bit more accurate but overall a good tune.

Constructive Comments: I think a re-categorizing of genres would help people fine this song in its appropriate place (one man’s opinion).

Broadjam Artist: Craig Bishop
Song: I Love You

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Sometime I like silence.

Constructive Comments: There is no sound whatsoever on this file. You need to delete, reload, whatever but it’s a completely blank file.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Set Me Free

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: I really liked the overall feel, and the vocalist had a cool sound. The surprise for me was that it was in the Blues Rock category, as either R&B Funk or Rock Funk would be more true-to-life. The instrumentation was nice and appropriate, but to me ear this sounds like something that may have been recorded many years ago. That might be the retro vibe you were searching for, I can’t tell. But it was certainly a fun listen and I enjoyed it.

Constructive Comments: The hook seemed a little buried but very minor issue. Good song all around.

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: 21. Unzip My Heart

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: The instruments and vocals are very nice and the recording quality is balanced and clean as a whistle. Nice pacing and overall the sound is quite enjoyable.

Constructive Comments: Personal taste, I don’t get the lyrics. I thought I was listening to a song about Cupid and an arrow, so unzip my heart made no sense to me. Almost sounded like 2 different songs combined, but again that’s just based on my individual likes and dislikes. The music and melody are still very strong.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Make Me Part Of Your Life II Coreys

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Obviously you have heard this before but the song needs to be louder. Hard to get the real feel I bet its more powerful with more volume. The lyric is very good the instrumentation is good, the hook is very nice.

Constructive Comments: Really hard to give more constructive words other then pump up the volume. I hope it wasn’t my headphones or computer that hindered this for me. Song has potential

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Love Will Find You

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: The lyric is very strong the instrumentation was refreshingly unique especially in the beginning before the lyrics started. Nice guitar licks.

Constructive Comments: I think the song lacks the commercial elements like a strong hook and too long to get to the actual lyrics. Maybe too wordy as well. It is a little difficult to figure out what the title of the song is! Overall the song has potential but I think it needs some work.
