Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Thirty Year Kiss
Reviewer: Paul Pierce Project
Positive Comments: I love the low-volume haunting vocal ooh/ah at the intro. I’m a giant fan of this vocal! The tone is pure gold, with a pretty vibrato occasionally tailing off at the end. The change is excellent, dark, minor, with lyrics clear and meaningful. Pretty doubled vocal. Totally like the complete dead break going into the next section – “Hold Me.” I also like how the song meanders around but always has a place where the listener finds his way back to the roots of the vocal and melody. Wonderful song!
Constructive Comments: When it hits the 2nd verse I’d like to hear a little more of a build in the arrangement. Her vocal holds the section together, but it would have done well to add possibly strings or some other rhythmic building instrument. Sax tone is so wonderful but that faster, nervous vibrato is not my favorite. Too bad cuz his playing and tone are wonderful. Ending of the song should be developed more. Needs a less fall-off-a-cliff way of getting out of the song. Such a nice piece of music however!
