Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: THAT’S WHAT WE DO (John Foster-ld. voc.)

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Wow…some really out of the box stuff going on in there. Love the 2nd verse…now there’s some stretching, but really gives the personality of the writer. Fun stuff that will ultimately get someone’s attention.

Constructive Comments: Didn’t think the Vocalist was made for this song. Too many oooh rhymes to take seriously…and I thought the arrangement and instrument choices were a bit clangy. But…I’m pretty sure all that was your intention…so what do I know?

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Forgotten Dreams (Instrumental)

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Pretty refreshing and vibrant tune. Nice competition between the two guitar tones. Right channel wins. The background bed is pretty solid…piano is well defined and the drums crisp and upfront just enough.

Constructive Comments: The center left guitar that seems to be carrying the melody is way too distorted…would have loved to hear the melody lines in the Chris Iaaak mode. I really think something more dynamic and less noisy would really bring this up a notch.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett

Reviewer: Neutrino Pulse

Constructive Comments: Bass too high, a bit repetitive,

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Take Your Time Coreys

Reviewer: Neutrino Pulse

Positive Comments: Nice sax, good vocals, good beat, smooth

Constructive Comments: Doesn’t seem to rise, just stays the same

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Farmer’s Daughter

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Not exactly sure how I feel about this one…on one hand, the musical arrangement is smooth and dynamic…with a strong vocal to go along with it. I do love the ending musical mood…very cool.

Constructive Comments: So…on the other hand. I’m hoping you’re trying to be funny so the story doesn’t need to make sense. Stuff I didn’t get…”Won’t you come along with me on my second country mile”…..what’s that mean?…2nd country mile? Then…it’s “burnin’ heat”…so, why are you wearing a coat? “The farmer must have been away”….key line in the song that sounds past tense…yet everything else is in the present….just being picky…but what the heck…

Broadjam Artist: Janet Murphy
Song: Breathe On Me.

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Just a wonderful calm came over me listening to this. Took awhile to figure out who or what was doing the breathing…but I think I got it…your supreme being of choice, I guess.Loved the vocal…kinda country…kinda Cilla Black….

Constructive Comments: Not sure where the market is for this…but if you took some of that overbearing synth out…or pull it back so it doesn’t pulse so much…you probably could find a market…

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Dance Hall Of Dreams

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Well..I really enjoyed this…so visual…so heartwarming…the 3rd verse got me a little misty even…Vocal was spot on (albeit…one word)…good breath control going from line to line…effortlessly sounding. this would make a great little video….wouldn’t need many props…just a dancehall…or maybe not even a dancehall…the kitchen would work, after all it’s a “dream” isn’t it? Great work…thanks

Constructive Comments: When it opened, I thought it was a little too synthy….but I got used to it…thought you missed the line “love at first sight…”…you double syllabled “sight”…hit my ear awkwardly.That’s all I got..

Broadjam Artist: Reid Jamieson
Song: Love Worth Making

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Great vocal performance. Smooth piece of music.

Constructive Comments: The fifth vocal harmony that kept coming in – I wanted it badly to pitch upwards after a moment to make the chord major.

Broadjam Artist: VALEXIS
Song: Defenseless

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Reminded me a LOT of the track Stay The Night by Zedd/Hayley Williams – I guess it’s the singers voice. Great production qualities in this track. Congratulations.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add this is a great commercial piece to be proud of.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: Faded Dreams and Misty Memories

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Very 60’s/70’s feel to this tune. A bit Captain and Tennile.

Constructive Comments: Recording is quite old? Lacking in presence/stereo, but maybe that’s the intention. Inoffensive light pop tune.
