Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: La Fiesta

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Very nice Latin instrumental. This song puts me in a good mood to listen to it! It is very uplifting and somehow gives me images of adventure, festivities, and living life to the fullest. Especially in these lock down times, this is needed!!! Instrumentals are so interesting because without lyrics, the music itself must connote the meaning and mood of the song. I particularly like what happens at 40 seconds, music that comes in. keyboards, I think. and again at 1:20.I also really like the changes and evolution that the song does. Keeps in the same theme and spirit but adds more element to the song as it goes. Keeps the listener constantly interested to see what will come next, yet it all goes together and flows. I am really glad I heard this song.

Constructive Comments: sorry no constructive criticism here. At least if there are needed improvements, I sure can’t find them. Great job all around!

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Rainy Night Road (ft, CoriAnder & Gus Harrower

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Interesting mixing going on here. Great unexpected chords for what I consider to be the chorus. I could hear this as part of a sci fi movie soundtrack. I envy your sound library!

Constructive Comments: Only thing I would add is a snare to take it to the next level rhythmically.

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Magnetic Attraction

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Ooh yes loved it when those chords oozed out of the track. This is kind of radical – tremendously inventive. Reminds me of some of the Batman soundtrack by Prince which was genius. Great punchy snare sound.

Constructive Comments: Must go looking for a vocal version of whatever this is!

Broadjam Artist: Caden
Song: Come Clean

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very modern-progressive, with an instrumental sound reminiscent of Cavo. Very strong instrumentally and the lead vocal is right on pitch. This could easily appear in film/TV scenes with matching tension. I wish the harmonies were more layered but overall this is a super-strong performance.

Constructive Comments: I’m guessing at the title, as if there is a hook it needs work, but I really enjoyed the song and it has a ton of potential.

Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: I Think of You

Reviewer: John van Wicklen

Positive Comments: Love the feel , love the rhythm, easy listening

Constructive Comments: On occasion the vocal crams words together to rapidly. Smooth out the vocal performance and you have a really good song.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: A Lonely Place To Be Coreys

Reviewer: John van Wicklen

Positive Comments: Song has moments of magic where you can drift in the melody.

Constructive Comments: In the beginning I was lost from the melody as song progressed I understood the mood and movement. I feel instrumentation lacked a bit… the song is good it’s a journey in sound. Remix to raise overall quality.
