Broadjam Artist: Felice Kaye-Cooper / Songwriter
Song: Creole Fandango

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: I may not be familiar with whether this is a well-known piece or not, but it is probably a fandango of some kind…Latin sounding.

Constructive Comments: I would redo this with a real piano that has far more expression.

Song: Amazing Grace

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Noodling on a simple chord progression.

Broadjam Artist: Thierry Coupey
Song: The So Called Unbearable

Reviewer: ExoPulse

Positive Comments: That piano tone is sweeeet! Neat ideas, and it’s got some good buildup going on throughout. I also like some of those fx choices on the drums and synths.

Constructive Comments: I almost feel like this isn’t finished? I really like what you’re doing with it, and the minimalist feel adds a certain character. But I think it needs a change of some kind, maybe just adding another instrument or something? Or maybe if there were vocals as well it would help bring it out. And I feel like the snare could stand a better sample perhaps but other than that the drums are great.

Broadjam Artist: Wes Dinwiddie
Song: Why Won’t You Die

Reviewer: ExoPulse

Positive Comments: Great song! Very well written and flows nicely. The arrangement is good, lyrics and instrumentation are solid. I really like the stutter guitars thru the verses. The singer has great presence and performance, and the layered sections are very nice.

Constructive Comments: The arrangement is good, lyrics and instrumentation are solid. I Just think the mix could be better. The drums don’t cut through so well, the bass is a bit overbearing. The vocals are mixed well, but they do get lost a little in some places. I don’t know if this would be a top hit, but it’s not far off the mark, keep up the good work.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Louisiana Nights Coreys

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really great capture of the delta country. I’ve never been there, but now I feel like I have. A really good work, both musically and lyrically. At times, I get a bit of a Glen Campbell feel in the vocals.

Constructive Comments: Nice song, guys!
