Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Close Your Eyes

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: Firstly the lyrics are wonderful quite moving to be honest. The instrumentation is great, but I might have introduced the strings later in the song. Lovely lead vocal and effective harmonies. A beautiful melody. A really superb outro melody and lyric idea.

Constructive Comments: I’ve marked down the recording and arrangement because I thought at times the strings were fighting with the vocals for the same space. Perhaps taking out some of the strings or having them lower in the mix would resolve this. Otherwise a very strong song.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Killing Time

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Band

Positive Comments: Like the grocery line concept to start a song 🙂 And any reference to spam is always welcome.

Constructive Comments: Drums seem to be hitting a limiter/compressor and getting kind of squashed, dynamically.Would love to hear the vocals blended in a bit more into the “space” of the other instruments.
