Song: Bright Skies Ahead

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Band

Positive Comments: A very relatable feel, and the melody forms a great “hook”. If I were pitching film music, this would check off all the boxes.

Constructive Comments: Not much to say that I haven’t… love this melody and structure. I hope it finds its way into some film/TV placements!

Song: POWER OF LOVE

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Band

Positive Comments: I really dig the overall vibe of this track… very nice groove. The sound of the instrumental backbone seems to have a lot going for it.

Constructive Comments: For this mix, vocals could benefit from a remix with outside ears to blend them in a bit better. But the song concept carries well, and I like it

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: VICTORY (instrumental)

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Band

Positive Comments: Define “hook” and this piece has it. Very well done! It is like Sousa but with dynamics/ritards and a modern flair that make it different.

Constructive Comments: Obviously, I would love to hear this with a real orchestra… but I realize that’s a very tough thing to pull off 🙂

Song: Kitschy Kool Coreys

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: very cool retro lounge feel – nice vocal stylings with a nice foundation and groove. sax work is effective and “cool”hook works well, the recording is very warm and nice, really liked the “dark” guitar toneeffective intro and outro

Constructive Comments: this song works very well in just about every way – can’t really say anything constructive to improve it. nice job kids.

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: WOULDN’T LIFE BE EASY?

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: terrific lyric content and message. vocal style is straight forward and earnest, fitting the content.the instrumental track is solid, though I’d like to hear more going on in support of the vocals

Constructive Comments: dynamics could be improved upon – give the melody a place to go so the phrases end with more impact.the song abruptly ends – was that by design? some eq on the vocals to soften the harshness would be desirable – backing off on about 3 khz.

Reviewer: Michael Centola (20 Minute Mission)

Positive Comments: Strong classic rock feel, great lyrics mixed with a fun catchy riff. I thought the entire track was mixed well which really added to the strength of the track. Well done, talented band.

Constructive Comments: Wasn’t crazy for the long intro, I thought the intro starting at 0:28 was pretty strong. Other than that pretty good overall. I enjoyed the outtro.

Reviewer: Michael Centola (20 Minute Mission)

Positive Comments: I feel like there is a lot of versatility in this song. Whether is is and underscore for a scene or broadcast on an instrumental station for easy listening. The piano is beautiful and the backing string enhance but do not over complicate the song. Brilliant!

Constructive Comments: Nothing really can enhance this song. it is well done, easy listening and has great commercial appeal. well done.
