Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: This is a captivating composition and orchestration with an asian theme, incredbly well done and recorded. I can’t tell if the instruments are real or virtual, but this track is a must listen piece.

Constructive Comments: Can’t think of any.

Broadjam Artist: Randall Mark
Song: Wonder Boy(KaytLynn)

Reviewer: John Walradt

Positive Comments: Can you go for some fluffy teenybopper pop? Damn right you can, and this song gives you your money’s worth and then some! A sprightly memorable melody that you can hum and sing and everyone knows what it is…now that’s a simple yardstick for a great song. Know what else sells this tune? The sweet high quivering vocals that will take you back to your first few crushes! What teen couldn’t relate to that? The storybook style of lyrics follow the delightful bounce of each note. Starts with sparse instrumentation and carries the simple instrumentation through that compliments the vocals. The song ends with the seemingly endless longing for that true love…and you remember what that was like!

Constructive Comments: Very beautifully done, and here’s the only thing I would experiment with…instead of the male voice (it seems like it should be her song), replace the male vocal with her voice singing the first or couple of lines following the same notes, then break into a harmony for the chorus. That could really be something to melt the heart!

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: The Box Corey’s NEW Improved MIX LOL!

Positive Comments: Good use of instruments throughout the track – I particularly like the saxophone (it sounds like a saxophone). Good lyrics!

Constructive Comments: There is a lot of repetition throughout, with no clear structure in terms of chord progression, verse, chorus, etc.

Reviewer: SRJ

Positive Comments: Overall, a great sound with interesting but complementary use of instruments and rhythms with effective FX.

Constructive Comments: Not sure if this was an idea that you are going to develop. I appreciate that it’s a short piece of music but motif if repeated throughout the track with no variation or structure to keep the listener interested… there was definitely no clear hook…
