Broadjam Artist: Simpson-Mancine Productions
Song: Like a Melody

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: Very nice instrumentation here, nice movement/beat. Lovely harmony lines! Overall well done.

Constructive Comments: I’d like to hear the lead and the harmonies a bit more clearly, the quality instrumentation kinda overshadows the vocal/lyrics, but easily fixed IMO…

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Knock ‘Em Dead

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: Very cool guitar work here, great job. Clearly can hear the lyrics, which I need in a well written tune–accomplished clear as a bell.like the movement to this allot. And than you for a clear “hook/title” to identify with! Too many don’t do that anymore…this sounds like the writing of Bob Bentley, one helluva writer…cheers, keep knocking ’em dead!

Constructive Comments: I got nothing, maybe vary the percussion/programmed perc a bit more for interest? This may be able to use a bit of harmony in the “knock em dead lines IMO, but hell, I love this tune regarddless.

Broadjam Artist: Jenny McGregor
Song: Wake Up

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: Nice movement/beat to this tune, like it! Good vocal delivery, but see other comments…musically and arrangement-wise this is quite good IMO. Nice peppy tune as I said, see good things for it…

Constructive Comments: I’d like the vocal from this very good singer to be CLEARER, maybe isolate her more, maybe tune down the “wall of sound” and reverb a tad might help this.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Nesom
Song: I’m Lyin’

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: Moves along nicely, cadence is catchy. Like the instrumentation, fiddle is cool. It’s got that cool Irish/UK feeling. Pretty strong chorus…but for a vocal tune lots of “space” between verses and chorus, maybe a bit too much instrumentation between lyrical content.But I like the spirit of this tune allot.

Constructive Comments: Not sure about the lyrics in this one–not bad, just would like a bit more concrete metaphors. I had a hard time identifying the “hook/title”, but I may have missed it on one listen…all the best, and good luck!
