Song: No Forgiveness

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: The instrumentation is excellent the melody very pleasing great use of the guitar licks. The arrangement is spot on could see this in a film.

Constructive Comments: I write lyrics so it is difficult for me to be too critical of a n instrumental piece however I can say it is easy on the ears and very well written and executed.

Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: I DON’T LOVE YOU

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: This was a very interesting song unique in it’s message. The hook was very good and the song is certainly original in nature and execution.

Constructive Comments: Not my cup of tea but the song does have some merit. I think the message is a little confusing and maybe a little to negative. The vocals were not very strong as the singer is more talking and a flowing vocal could be much more effective. Nice effort but could use some changes to be more effective.

Song: Katahdin (Greatest Mountain)

Reviewer: Mamma Freedom

Positive Comments: This is a superb piece off arranging, instrumentation and dynamics. I love in initial Big Country Copeland style big galloping percussion, high flutes and that mix of violins and trumpets but also fanfare in the French Horn and flute. This helps create that perfect western, native American/ civil war feel with that singe Flugel Horn I believe trumpets in the break added wonderfully to the feel and visuality of the piece.very emotive, heroic and patriotic superb ending, excellent use of contrapuntal melodies. The horns are particularly, I love the thread of the piece also, I was in the place with that mountain in Maine, I was a cowboy, I was an indian, I was in the mountains and canyons. A really excellent piece of work.

Constructive Comments: It felt like a bigger more melodically memorable phrase would arrive or motif should have been in the arrangement. The piece was very clever and told a story but without a main character if that analogy makes sense. There was a lot of tense build up and drops but no big pay off, Think about Star Wars: A New Hope and that initial Williams score had all the memorable catchy heroic parts, even Vaders theme is heroic in its own dark way yet still has emotive drops and lifts. You have all the pieces in there and all the drama and shifts from dark to light are excellent, but it does get a little scattered in parts, I Bit like bits of Candide by my hero Leonard Bernstein.Obviously Im aware that you are writing pieces that are to impress music supervisors off the bat and Im sure when given a script and a brief you will be able to write them excellently.

Song: Moodyetude

Reviewer: Lisa Repac

Positive Comments: I enjoyed this piece. I could imagine this playing in a spa, it is quite a relaxing experience. I found the melody interesting, and the chord progression kept me guessing. The overall feeling of the piece was light and ambient. Very well done.

Constructive Comments: Not much to say here, I would like to see more from this artist.

Broadjam Artist: Jenny McGregor
Song: The Sun

Reviewer: Lisa Repac

Positive Comments: This really reminded me of a group back in the day that had a song titled “You’re Not Alone”.It was one of my favorite songs of that time because of it’s originality. You captured that feeling for me once again with this song. The movement in the composition is beautiful. The vocals are fantastic, and really convey the mood as well as the message. The arrangement was fluid and felt a very natural progression. The mix was well balanced and dynamics were well used throughout. Memorable hook, and effective.

Constructive Comments: Very hard to find anything wrong with this track. All I would have asked for is the hook to be a little clearer from the beginning as I only could hear those lyrics clearly about halfway through. Beautiful song, perfect ambient music, and exactly what I would expect to find in this genre.

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: COLD LONELY HOUSE

Reviewer: Hartmut Oberdieck

Positive Comments: very well done, it’s not my favorite genre, but there are (is a) musician(s) at work. There is a lot of feeling within this song. I really like to listen to it. The third time!! The instrument are well played, on the right place. The vocals: very present and you can believe them, they are in tune and authentic.

Constructive Comments: Nothing bad to say, it’s a beautiful song, good luck and if you are from the US, I really hope that you’ll wake up in a better situation after the election
