Broadjam Artist: David E. White
Song: Leaf On The Wind

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Productions

Positive Comments: This is a really nice piano composition with some very catchy melodies and repeating runs that work very well. The dynamic changes are well thought out and executed, and there are some unexpected twists that keep it engaging.

Constructive Comments: Really nice! My only technical critique would be the “dryness” and distance of the piano sound. A small-room convolution reverb and perhaps a blended parallel compression would really make this stand out.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: DANCE TO JAMES BROWN (featuring Ashley E. Norton)

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Productions

Positive Comments: Fun song! Great drum work with nice snare touch and fills and nice DRY recording with a great stereo spread.Bass is really well played and recorded, grooving where it should be and adding plenty of tasty chords, slides and runs along the way.Vocals and guitars are also very nice… and the entire lyrical concept is a fun tribute!

Constructive Comments: Nice stuff! Only technical critique would be the dryness in the vocals and guitars… it does have an authentic, live kind of sound that works, but might come across more broadly with some slight treatment that floats the vox/gtr over the rhythm section.

Broadjam Artist: John Walradt
Song: Stay Here Now

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Productions

Positive Comments: Nice composition and lyrics, has a classic late-70s pop ballad kind of feel with some nice changes and modulation.

Constructive Comments: Always tough to be direct, but the vocal track on this recording isn’t doing justice to the underlying song. This is in no way a negative critique, just an observation that a stronger vocal track might make the song more accessible and relatable to the average listener. It really is a nice tune!

Broadjam Artist: CW Mullins
Song: Aki – Day (Instrumental)

Reviewer: John Walradt

Positive Comments: An excellent instrumental with a driving beat that could be used for television or video with adventurous themes. The melody is strong with lots of interesting changes, tensions, and imaginative chord structures. Studio work is very good, consistent, and keeps the mood very well.

Constructive Comments: No suggestions are necessary for a well performed piece like this. You know what you’re doing and what you expect of your craft.
