Broadjam Artist: Felice Kaye-Cooper / Songwriter
Song: This Love

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a well-crafted piano piece that is full of emotion and tells a story as well as an instrumental can. Beautifully played. Pleasing to listen to. The song has a unifying theme that creates a mood of wonder, intrigue and mystery. Nice, conclusive ending.

Constructive Comments: Keep the great music coming!

Broadjam Artist: Gregory Coleman
Song: Picnic In The Park

Reviewer: Tranz

Positive Comments: This is happy tune! Great instrumentation. Like the recording as well.

Constructive Comments: Nothing changes from the verses. The song sounds great, but perhaps a change somehow.

Broadjam Artist: Ras Zero
Song: Warrior’s Call

Reviewer: Tranz

Positive Comments: It was a little long. Just a two-bar that change throughout. The solos aren’t very dynamic. Pretty long.

Constructive Comments: Nothing really happens in the music. I thought there would be an intro, then maybe some vocal. But nothing – just two bars throughout.

Broadjam Artist: John Walradt
Song: Rainflakes featuring Clay Collins

Reviewer: Tranz

Positive Comments: Really like the vocal. Nice and mellow. Like the song structure. Very nice!

Constructive Comments: I don’t listen to this genre normally, but really dig the tunes that I’m listening to. That said, I think this was a solid tune!

Broadjam Artist: Tony Tersmette
Song: Blue Chalkin’

Reviewer: G-minor Jazz

Positive Comments: This was a very cool piece. Felt electronic, jazzy, acid infused and quirky. Nice ride…could be a awesome jazz brunch song. The theory in the writing was complex but easy to understand and listen to. I totally loved this song and the journey it took me on.

Constructive Comments: I don’t really have any constructive critiques because I would change a thing. But that doesn’t mean, its perfect it just means it worked for me.

Song: DarkEpicTheatrical

Reviewer: G-minor Jazz

Positive Comments: I immediately felt the movie possibilities for this song. Felt like rising revenge, anger and getting even with someone. The arrangement was fine, the instrumentation was fine. The song had a definite conceptual theme to it. This could also be the song at the end of a movie just before the credits roll.

Constructive Comments: The deep dark strings in the beginning are too powerful and too loud for the intro. I would suggest a solo sad but melancholy violin opening, and build on it until the dark strings can just come in organically. If you want the violin to stand out lower the other background instruments and pan them deep left or right add reverb.Compress the lead violin so that it gets a thicker richer sound without overpowering the entire piece. At least that what I would try and then see if it mixes down a little better.

Song: Ya Better Dig Two Paulie

Reviewer: Ian Ritchie

Positive Comments: Good rock tune.

Constructive Comments: I never do this bit, it’s not for me to push my thoughts on anyone as no artist or band has the same sound or style. Good tune.

Broadjam Artist: Felice Kaye-Cooper / Songwriter
Song: Do You Have To Go/Vocal by Phoebe Blume

Reviewer: Ian Ritchie

Positive Comments: Catchy tune with plenty of potential. Can definately see it in a soundtrack somewhere, spectacular vocals!

Constructive Comments: I don’t like this bit so I never leave real “constructive comments” usually as it’s not for me to say about other artists/bands sounds and composing as everyone is different. Good Tune!

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: ZZ

Reviewer: Ian Ritchie

Positive Comments: I can see this being in a film soundtrack for sure!

Constructive Comments: I don’t comment on this bit as every artist/band has their own sound and style and it’s not for me to say anything or push my own thoughts. Good tune!

Broadjam Artist: Scott Tingley
Song: Half A Heart

Reviewer: Ian Ritchie

Positive Comments: A complete foot tapping masterpiece for me. Can’t really say anymkore than that. Liked it!

Constructive Comments: I tend not to comment in this bit, it’s not for me to put my thoughts on anyone elses work. Each artist/band has their own style and sound so I’ll leave it there. Good tune!
