Song: Suicide Bomber

Reviewer: Katilyn

Positive Comments: You sound a lot like REM! Which, to me, is a good thing!

Constructive Comments: I have no idea what kind of sync opportunity might use a song with this lyrical content, but it is totally unique! Probably a good artist cut and would sound great live.

Broadjam Artist: Benjamin Stone
Song: Stockton Symphony Pt 7: Final Farewell

Reviewer: Katilyn

Positive Comments: Very unique!

Constructive Comments: I don’t work in the music business, so I have no idea if this has market potential or not…maybe as a backing track in a soundtrack? It’s totally unique, so good work on that!

Broadjam Artist: John Van Wicklen
Song: Our Love went wrong

Reviewer: Storied Windows

Positive Comments: This song has a nice vibe to it. It even sounds a bit old school, which I like. It flows very nicely as well and I like the backing tracks and harmonies used.

Constructive Comments: The lyrics could use a bit of work as far as allowing them to flow more smoothly by using the right amount of syllables that can fit comfortably with the melody.

Broadjam Artist: Gee Starr
Song: Everybody

Reviewer: Storied Windows

Positive Comments: It’s catchy and has great potential.

Constructive Comments: I think the lyrical flow could be a bit smoother and more on beat.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: All The Pretty Colors

Reviewer: PAIGE

Positive Comments: It’s a happy mood throughout the song. It almost reminds me of Kygo. Good vibes.

Constructive Comments: The song changes 3 different times. I would try to keep it more similar so people could catch a feeling. I did not like the girl laughing at the end.

Broadjam Artist: Gee Starr

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Gonna Hit The Road Corey’s

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Nice folk/country/ blue grass integration used quite effectively on this piece. I totally did not expect to hear an electric guitar track in this song, but it really worked (I liked that little surprise). Very nice, subtle backing vocals. The overall instrumental and vocal mixes are spot-on. Good quality recording.

Constructive Comments: I have nothing constructive to offer other than (very minor) a little longer ending fade-out.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Prodigal Daughter

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Excellent guitar tracks mix and interplay and chording. I quite liked the minor key progression which worked very well with the lyric theme, but did not distract from the optimistic spirit of this piece. Nice harmony track. I really enjoyed this song I had to listen to it multiple times.

Constructive Comments: No constructive comments. You “nailed it” with this song (obvious from my analysis).

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Cruise Ship Stop

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Individually, the instrumentation seemed simple, but mixed together a great musical “character” was produced. The mixing blend of the instruments was spot-on! The slight hint of a jazz element added another dimension to this piece.

Constructive Comments: No constructive comments. You have an interesting “experimental ” perspective for this genre.
