Broadjam Artist: Lynn Ann & Gate 18
Song: The Very Best Thing

Reviewer: John Evans

Positive Comments: Nice singer/songwriter song with a well delivered and confident vocal. Thoughtful lyric sensitively putting into words a situation I’m sure we’ve all found ourselves in at some point. I liked this a lot, thanks and good luck with it.

Constructive Comments: All I would suggest is to perhaps put some compression on the acoustic guitar to take some of the ‘clunk’ out of it. maybe just set it back in the mix a little, but great song, hope it does well.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Nesom
Song: The Storm (sung by C.Vitale)

Reviewer: John Evans

Positive Comments: Great overall sound, really good song. Nice crisp rhythmic acoustic guitar with the vocal sitting well in the mix. Good delivery of a thoughtful lyric. Confident ‘Live’ sound and feel with subtle vocal backing. I liked this a lot, thanks and good luck with it.

Constructive Comments: The only thing I would suggest is perhaps start with a 4 bar guitar intro before the vocal kicks in, but Hey, great song, hope its does well.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Louisiana Nights Coreys

Reviewer: John Evans

Positive Comments: Confident and polished performance of a very marketable sound. Great vocal and instrumentation, what’s not to like. The whole Track shouts professional and Whist this is not my particular genre, I would imagine it doing extremely well if picked up. Thanks, I really enjoyed this.

Constructive Comments: Wouldn’t change a thing really, it is the finished package. Good luck with it!

Broadjam Artist: Randall Mark
Song: Sweet Summertime

Reviewer: John Evans

Positive Comments: Really good, gently rolling song. Well performed and delivered vocal, laid back but still leading the arrangement with confidence. Nice interplay between the acoustic guitar and piano with strings giving the whole thing a solid base. Thanks, I enjoyed this.

Constructive Comments: Personally, I would like the Acoustic guitar to be more prominent at the beginning with the piano gradually filling the gaps as the song unfolds but that’s just my love of the instrument showing. The male vocal might be a little more subtle sitting back in the mix a touch, I love the overall vocal. Thanks again for this and good luck

Song: Alabama Soulshine

Reviewer: Bhaskar_The_Maximalist

Positive Comments: Yes!! Finally a song in 2021 starting with drums. Very nice way to play 4/4!!!The bass kicks in so nicely!The strings are good, in combination with the flute and guitar.

Constructive Comments: You clearly have a good sense of percussion. How about adding some polymetrics to spice it up?Around 1:55 the bass could move to something different, perhaps?It is a bit long, which speaks well for album work or ambient plays, but not for commercial distribution in films, TV shows.
