Song: At Times

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: Excellent work. I’ve never been crazy about banjos, but this progressive country bluegrass thing allows the banjo to really hold a solid groove. I could listen to this piece over and over again.

Broadjam Artist: Ilan Chouraki
Song: The King Project

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: Haunting soundtrack with a big fat sound. My first impression was Nine Inch Nails With Gregorian Chants, but it’s more than that. This piece has a consistant groove with memorable hooks. Great work.

Broadjam Artist: J. Emilian
Song: Bitchy Payback

Reviewer: Stanford

Positive Comments: It’s an interesting story lyrically. Simple synth style instrumentation and clear arrangement works well to support that.

Constructive Comments: I think the vocals need work, they sound a little dull. Possibly even slightly flat in parts. You need to inject some energy and where the words don’t quite scan you need to make that a feature and rap it out a bit more to the beat rather than portamento style. (I think). Bring the vocals forward and make it brighter. Some higher range background vocals could help too. The story is interesting, the song is all about the story here a little bit of revenge, a little bit been done wrong and pay back is coming. So sing that with energy and emotion, we need to believe it and buy it.I’ve marked you down a lot for the vocal that way but I feel it’s not that far from being much better and way more engaging. Just my take.

Broadjam Artist: Eight of Spades
Song: Underneath

Reviewer: Stanford

Positive Comments: This sounds exactly like Billie Eilish. If it’s not Billie Eilish then well done indeed. I don’t know all Billie Eilish’s songs but I absolutely cannot tell the difference, meaning the quality is excellent and I cannot fault it.

Constructive Comments: It’s not that hooky, it’s moody but still one point off top marks there! Slightly nasally singing in parts also. But incredible range and that ASMR style, which slightly annoys me sometimes when the words aren’t pronounced correctly but hey who am I to criticise!
