Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Cool live blues tune. Decent job!`

Constructive Comments: In all honesty, this had a few good points with the slide guitar, but nothing else seemed that tight and the mix needs to be revisited.

Broadjam Artist: David E. White
Song: It Didn’t Need To End This Way

Reviewer: Groove Fondue

Positive Comments: A nice tune with a simple but effective arrangement. Builds up quite nicely. Like the lyrics very much, nicely done. Love the harmonies at the end, nice way to finish, pretty dramatic. Nicely done!

Constructive Comments: I like this tune very much. I just think it would sound even better with a more improved mix. There could be a bit more clarity in the instrumentation and the vocals. The vocals are a bit too down in the mix and sound a bit too muddy. Otherwise well done!

Broadjam Artist: John van Wicklen

Positive Comments: Really nice tune, just lovely to listen to. Love the melody and lyrics, I like the vocals, very laid back which suits the song so well. Very nicely done. The instrumentation is simple but very affective. All the instrumental parts are well played and nicely recorded. Just a joy to listen to!

Constructive Comments: I wouldn’t change a thing, very well done!

Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: CRUEL TIMES

Reviewer: BigAlbatross

Positive Comments: Nice instrumentation, gentle voice and very much a ‘slow burn’ song.Nice lyrics. Reviewed under country- general, but not sure if this is the right genre for this song.

Constructive Comments: Not very contemporary for today’s country market, if that is what it is aimed at? May be suitable for pitching as background music for a sad love scene in a movie? Good luck with this!

Broadjam Artist: Lawrence K. Bodien
Song: Tears of the Storm

Reviewer: BigAlbatross

Positive Comments: Reviewed this song under ‘Country- General’ so expected a more country vibe arrangement. Not sure now what category this falls into? Maybe electronic or new age? A lot of synth going on here but a very pleasant listen, best suited to background music in a film or TV documentary. Could be perfect for that. Good luck!

Constructive Comments: As above, genre difficult to define but suitable for pitching to TV, films and documentaries.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: A Lot Of Loves Disco Dance Version/M & A. Corey

Reviewer: Jenny McGregor

Positive Comments: What a funky wee track- really enjoyed this. Lovely use of flute and funk guitar. Catchy chorus that had me singing it by the end. Thanks for the bop!

Constructive Comments: Not much to add really- maybe just a bit more reverb on the vocal.

Broadjam Artist: SRJ
Song: Just Can’t Stop (Good Old Fashioned Funky House Club Mix), ft Leanne P

Reviewer: Jenny McGregor

Positive Comments: What a great track- LOVED it!!! Had me dancing and really pumping my head. The female vocal is excellent and used her voice so skillfully and creatively here. I liked the change in dynamics (around the 4 min mark), which made the track more exciting for me. Overall great sound and I can imagine dancing to this on the nightclub floor!

Constructive Comments: Possibly the main riff that we hear throughout could change up a few times more, just to keep the track super interesting with good change in dynamics. Maybe a tad too long- loved the track, but I guess you always want to leave your audience wanting more!
