Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Summer Time Contemp

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a captivating cover of an old folk favorite. Nice arrangement! The vocal is warm and engaging and beautiful to listen to.

Constructive Comments: rise up….singing (why that pause?) I’d like to hear a bit more introduction before the vocal comes in. I think the percussion should come in a bit later than it does. The percussion track sounds too “canned”.

Broadjam Artist: Randall Mark
Song: Wonder Girl

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Heaven on earth or heaven on Mars. I love those lyrics…so catchy.Great word pictures: breakfast in bed, steal all the covers. This is a “beginning” love song…just wondering how the relationship will turn out. It’s a fun song to listen to. Nice piece of writing. Simple recording, but it does the job and you definitely got your point across in this nicely crafted song.

Constructive Comments: Somehow I think I have heard this song before. I wonder if there are 2 versions of it on BJ?

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Got Me All Messed Up

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Nice guitar instrumental, easy listening. High energy, positive sounding, pleasant vibe. Nice choice of backing instruments. The mix is right on. I like what I am hearing in the drums…and what is that in the background? A dobro?

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add. Keep on making great music!

Broadjam Artist: sonya watts
Song: I’m Your Answer

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This song is a quintuple star WOW. Super fresh sounding tenor voice with falsetto (almost?) harmonies. It’s a fun love song about a fresh new beginning and I can totally see this song featured in a movie. The hook is super memorable. Vocals could not be more engaging and crystal clear than they already are. Instrumentation is absolutely appropriate, definitely not overdone. Excellent mix and production!

Constructive Comments: “You’re my habit” came across as a little strange to me.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Keep Me Warm (ft. Jerry Peterson)

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Not quite a holiday song, but more a winter song, the message of this tune is clear. It’s cold out there…keep me warm. Succinct lyric writing, well-crafted song. Likeable hook, smooth sound. Love the sax. Female vocal coming in enriches the production. The writer uses familiar winter images but manages to make them sound fresh, not trite.

Constructive Comments: Keep up the good work. I wish you well!

Broadjam Artist: Dooly
Song: SkullTrap

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a very interesting sounding electronic piece. Truly an adventure to listen to. Sonic wonders abound. The lead instrument almost sounds like a chipmunk voice (female sounding). Nicely put together, great mix and production.

Constructive Comments: Work on a more conclusive ending. I think you did a great job. Sorry this is not my genre…

Broadjam Artist: Thierry Coupey
Song: Les Sens Uniques (Elise soundtrack PGOlach/Coupey)

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Really like the Less is More approach. Beautiful choice of patches especially the choral voices.

Constructive Comments: This genre is something I don’t usually review because I don’t feel greatly qualified to do so even though I occasionally put together something myself with an orchestral feel.

Broadjam Artist: Geoff Martin Preston
Song: Spring Swallows – Vocal

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Hi quality recording with a great mix and balance of sounds and vocals.

Constructive Comments: I was expecting Classical music not something more akin to the folk genre. Is this correct classification?

Broadjam Artist: Chris Landi
Song: My Love

Reviewer: Redlady8029

Positive Comments: The music got my attention. I love the piano.In order to take this song to the next level contrast more between the chorus and verses. I love the overall feel of the song.

Constructive Comments: I would have liked the story more detailed and developed in the verses and the big hook in the chorus. I wanted to hear more of the back story that explained the hook more. I enjoyed the song . Great job. Keep writing.
