Song: This Is My Time

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Love the youthful, cool vocal tones. Recorded in very high quality, was clear as a bell. Love the melody sung at the part of the chorus that goes “only think of winning, adrenaline is kicking”. Really like the contrast between the mellow, slow verses, and the faster high energy chorus. Good beat also, kept Song feeling modern and hip

Constructive Comments: Can’t add any constructive comments. It was all good. For the record, I am not a huge fan of pop music (I prefer rock, and folk). The fact that I liked this song so much speaks further to what a quality track this is! Congrats!

Reviewer: Redlady8029

Positive Comments: Did you like specific instrumental parts, lyrics,? yes I love the singers’ voice and the banjo playing. The music is beautiful. The story needs better lines. What you are saying is marketable but common. Try for better lines. It would be a hit with line by line analysis of the lyrics.The Jobs of Each Section (does each section do its job: v1–character, context, setting chorus–give the big idea v2–take the big idea further bridge (if necessary) –take the big idea even further 1) Does my intro make you want to hear the song?

Song: Kickin It

Reviewer: Audrey Nath

Positive Comments: Fantastic instrumentation, and I enjoyed how the song ebbed and flowed. There was a fun surfer rock vibe, with ambient beats that creates an uplifting feel.

Constructive Comments: The end was a little abrupt otherwise, this song was really polished.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: ElectroWalk-EDM

Reviewer: Audrey Nath

Positive Comments: This is a danceable, fun track, with careful detail to instrumentation. The buildup and drops are well done. I could see this song being played in a club scene in a movie or used for an upbeat commercial.

Constructive Comments: The orchestration/instrumentation is really well done. Regarding originality, this song does not necessarily stand out in the larger sphere of electronica however, it delivers as a danceable beat and is marketable.

Song: Magnetic Attraction

Reviewer: Audrey Nath

Positive Comments: I enjoyed the chillout, ambient quality of this song. Parts of it could be used as a backing to a soothing narration in a commercial. There is a minimalist quality, which could work well to underly a mysterious scene without interrupting the plot.

Constructive Comments: I think that the song could be used in parts– so, maybe a 30 second clip would be perfect for a commercial. When listening to the entire song, there are lulls in momentum. But, overall, I think that the mood is great and may be very marketable in snippets.
