Positive Comments: I like that pitch contrast at the beginning to sharpen your listening.Good mixture of rhythmic elements with different textures answering each other interestingly. Changes of rhytmic patterns and a small flood of different instrumental sounds and textures. No sleeping with all this happening! I can visualize this enteire piece as an opening of something grandiose to follow even more!!

Constructive Comments: Wow! Such a good flavor to have. I could possibly see a little more development with the ideas presented but the flow of creativity doesny always work that way. One element can bring about another! The mind is racing somewhat, someextensive notes mixed in could add a bit of variety, but the building never stops! Really difficult to add much to this, but just something new to follow. Tremendous feel!

Song: The Jester’s Flying Chair

Reviewer: Ilan Chouraki

Positive Comments: Very nice composition, an ambiance very positive. The mix is good.

Constructive Comments: Too much quantize makes the piece a bit mechanical. The strings’ attack is sometimes too long and loses its “natural” side.

Song: I’ll Never Let You Go

Reviewer: The Lord Loot

Positive Comments: Top Quality sound. Sounds like classic R&B, from an old era. I could hear Bruno Mars doing an arranement like this. I love it.

Constructive Comments: I want to hear a current arrangement, or production>

Broadjam Artist: Eight of Spades
Song: Underneath

Reviewer: John Walradt

Positive Comments: What a feeling of something impending! The heavy vocals and dark, gloomy melody pull you in with such richness there’s no letting go! What I really notice is how unique this song is with its emotional grip and desperate well thought out confessional lyrics. The moodiness is like This Mortal Coil. This song stands out. The echoing instrumentation and loud claps are so full of thick atmosphere that gives expression to the heavy impending feelings. The female vocals are full, pained, and are wonderfully sang.

Constructive Comments: How about an experiment such as finding out how the ending would sound with the strings trailing off instead of an abrupt end? I must hand it to you for coming up with a song that is unlike everything else I’ve heard. The desperate emotional richness is amazing!

Broadjam Artist: Katilyn
Song: BOOM

Reviewer: John Walradt

Positive Comments: Are you in a club along the southern coast of France? This electronic dance tune has shades of techno with echoes, blips, clicks, and midi tricks. The soft female voice is a nice contrast to the techno background. Lyrically very simple, the words begin with anticipation for the night. What happens after that? You decide.

Constructive Comments: Well, since I’ve scored it as such, time for an explanation. The most striking thing is that the melody does not match the expectation of the title or lyrics. The song anticipates the night but does not follow through with excitement. It comes across as a tiny pop rather than a BOOM. Does that mean it’s a bad melody? Of course not! It’s a good melody for a different subject. How about marketability? It’s really bizarre what the reviewers and publishers may actually choose but I would try to be practical in what mood they’re going for. If it’s a dance tune about a night of having fun, then it may follow to have a tune that pumps it up. Is it original? Well, for this song I’m not sure it has to stand out in a unique way. Lots of songs with a similar message do make it. Hook and arrangement: we’re back to the melody. I think it would work and garner more stars with a subject more relaxed rather than excitement. Would I like to hear more from this artist? I wish that wasn’t a question…it’s really not fair based on one song. I have to say the simple to the point lyrics work very well for a dance song. There is no problem with the production or finesse with the instruments. Vocals are perfect.
