Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Very hypnotic! The simple backing vocal tracks were very effective in adding depth to the spoken voice.Very nice bass track. Very interesting blend of musical elements. Good quality recording and mix.

Constructive Comments: No constructive comments. My ear wanted the “native” vocals to be more subtle, just me.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Into You

Reviewer: MK Music USA

Positive Comments: Vocalist can sing. He has a rock voice. 80’s synths are making a comeback. Nice outro.

Constructive Comments: This song is not modern rock. It’s very 80’s sounding. Could work for sync if the production was better for retro type films. Vocals sound a little buried.

Broadjam Artist: Benjamin Stone
Song: THE CLONE ARRANGERS

Reviewer: MK Music USA

Positive Comments: The piano entrance created a cool gothic vibe. In the beginning I was thinking this was going to lead into an Evanescence type track. It is very hollowed and dark in the beginning. Slow moving track. The intro may work in a horror film for sync licensing opportunities. Best of luck to the artist and they should continue writing music.

Constructive Comments: I quickly realized this was just an instrumental. However this song needs massive work. The recording quality is there as far as clarity. However at about 30 seconds in, you start to lose interest and when the synths come in that loses the track. It becomes directionless. I’d like to see a better mix as well. The guitar is buried.

Broadjam Artist: Katilyn
Song: WRONG GIRL

Reviewer: MK Music USA

Positive Comments: I think the vocalist has a nice voice. It’s raw sounding which could get them some work in sync licensing. It reminds me a little of the Pretty Reckless. With a producer this track may have some potential.I feel like I’ve heard this song before but can’t place it in my head.Best of luck to the artist. I hope they find a producer that will capture this band better.

Constructive Comments: This song sounds very dated. Like early 90’s. With a little of bit 70’s guitar. I wouldn’t call it current. The mix needs to hear more drums and bass. What’s she trying to do with her voice reminds me of Maria Brink from In This Moment. Trying to be sultry and scratchy during the chorus. They way its sang you can’t get the lyrics clearly.

Song: We Will See Him

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: I don’t listen routinely to this genre, but musically I appreciate the quality of this piece. The instrumental accompaniment allowed the voice and lyrics to to take “center stage” , which is absolutely appropriate.Nice voicing and vocal range!

Constructive Comments: I have no constructive comments to offer, you know your genre.

Broadjam Artist: VOYA
Song: Closed Mind

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Short, but so sweet! (I listened over and over) “Simple” musical, piano, theme with sophisticated (synth.) strings which really added depth to this piece. Very listenable, so what if you need to do multiple replays!I liked the minor key with the little teases of a major shift. High quality recording with potential commercial applications.

Constructive Comments: Great composition I have no constructive comments.

Broadjam Artist: RockHound
Song: Live Your Life [Brian Nahlen]

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Nice jazzy blues vibe. Great utilization of various instrumentation’s. I quite liked the interplay between the lead and rhythm guitars toward the beginning of the song. The backing vocals gave a fresh update to a ’60’s jazz-pop sound. High quality recording and mix.

Constructive Comments: Nice tune, well done. Nothing constructive to offer.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Demons In Your Darkness

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: This song “grabbed” me right from the intro. The vocal phrasing was very good. Excellent instrumentation throughout I usually want more bass, but you had it just right. I really liked tie double lead guitar interplay. Your bridge kept the tune interesting. High quality recording with, hopefully commercial applications.

Constructive Comments: Nothing constructive to offer at all!

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Really “catchy” tune. Great instrumental interplay! The country vocal twang really added to the ” flavor” of this song. Nice backing vocals. This is a quality recording.

Constructive Comments: Your overall mix is commercially spot-on (my ears wanted a little more bass that’s just me though).No constructive comments, as you can see from my ratings.
