Broadjam Artist: CW Mullins
Song: Theme For Old Lovers (instrumental)

Reviewer: John Francis Cooper

Positive Comments: Definitely an original

Constructive Comments: Don’t know what to say and not offend. So I’ll just leave it at that.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: WHO OWNS THE SUN

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: The Song is certainly unique, which grabs the listener immediately!! I like the instruments in the arrangement and the vocals somewhat work, but the Singer’s intonation slightly gets in the way! There are also some timing issues in the Music, that are slightly troubling! If this tune was just tightened-up a tad, it would be super Cool!! Hat’s off for originality!!!

Constructive Comments: Intonation & timing issues need a bit of work, but still like the tune!!!

Broadjam Artist: Jeana Potthoff
Song: Bright Skies Ahead

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Beautiful, uplifting instrumental. Nicely played piano, I particularly liked the change at 2:07 of the song

Constructive Comments: Nothing I can add really. Maybe some violin or flute could come in as the song unfolds to add some other element? Just a thought.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: 60 Grit

Reviewer: George Michael John

Positive Comments: Very interesting tune! Nice choice of tone and textures. Could see it being used in a TV commercial. Great job.

Constructive Comments: I kept waiting for another melody instrument but it stills works without one.

Broadjam Artist: Dale Lawrence
Song: The Promise – Rock Mix

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very nice Pop/Rock song once it gets into the meat of things. I like the chord progression a ton, as well as the audio dynamics and breaks. Vocal is right on point and the self-harmony fits well.

Constructive Comments: Hard for me to get past the fake drums and almost-hidden bass to open the track. Once it gets into gear it’s exceptional. For me there was too much distortion on the opening bars – which changed 100% once the sweet-sounding guitar kicked in. Maybe because I’m a 20+ year pro drummer, but I’d stick with full drums throughout and just alter the dynamics of the playing to maintain consistency.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Keep Me Warm (ft. Jerry Peterson)

Reviewer: Michael Centola (20 Minute Mission)

Positive Comments: Awesome intro! It really hooks you to the feel of the song. The piano really accentuates the flow song without becoming overpowering. The background vocals during the chorus sounds amazing, great male/female blend. Well done and well put together tune.

Constructive Comments: I really wouldn’t add or take anything away. It is solid tune, has marketing potential. I really wish I had more constructive comments, but it is really well done.

Broadjam Artist: Gee Starr
Song: Everybody

Reviewer: Michael Centola (20 Minute Mission)

Positive Comments: Solid beat. Rapper has a great Biz Markie sound. There is a lot of originality in the beat, it isn’t the same eight measure hook throughout the song that a lot of rap utilizes. The flow from different beats and mixing it up enhances the overall song. Well done.

Constructive Comments: The first four seconds of the song, not really sure what was happening. Thats the only thing I would change (just go straight into the beat). Overall the song is solid, great beat, solid hook. Well done
