Broadjam Artist: jim Finan
Song: Newsy

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: Super Cool smooth Jazz Feel on this piece. Nice use of pulsating synths on the head really grabs the ear. Cool bridge with stereo pulsating rhodes and synth. Definitely a sool trippy piece that crosses quite a few styles. OMG… the piece doesn’t end. I’m waiting for the fade at 4 minutes..it goes into a wild proggy break for anout a minute or two, and comes back…. EPIC… Quite jazzy

Constructive Comments: None I can think of… at all

Broadjam Artist: J. Emilian
Song: Bitchy Payback

Reviewer: Geoff Martin Preston

Positive Comments: I liked the simplicity and structure of this song and it is catchy, there is an accomplished hook and the song flows in and out of the middle eight nicely. At first the vocal seemed a little mono tone, but it grew on me, it had a certain texture and the timing was on cue. Instumentation was a little sparse but it works adding he simplicity to the piece and not over crowding the mix.

Constructive Comments: My only observation would be perhaps a key change after the middle eight to lift the song and go out on a high. I enjoyed listening to this though. All the elements are there to lift the song to another level. Well done.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Give Me Back My Mojo

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: This song made me smile on the first 2 measures. Absolutely love it. Slammin’ ultra-tight shuffle groove. Reminiscent of ZZ Top, Texas, Beer and all that good stuff.

Constructive Comments: None I can think of

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Got To Get Ya Outta My Brain Paulie

Reviewer: Bhaskar_The_Maximalist

Positive Comments: Nice, pleasant progression. The rhythm guitar does unconventional stuff when heard in combination with what the bass is doing.

Constructive Comments: I think the song needs a bit more energy, if you don’t mind me saying so. I think that’s more a mixing thing than recording or arrangement thing. Or perhaps choice of percussion instruments?

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: I Will Be Kind Story

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: Well done. Very positive PSA for children about being kind to others. Cab’t get enough of that.

Constructive Comments: None I can think of

Broadjam Artist: Greg Young
Song: Handsome Jack

Reviewer: Bhaskar_The_Maximalist

Positive Comments: The guitaring is awesome. The tempo switch is endearing, and changes the flavour unexpectedly. The violin interlaced with the steel guitar is a good touch!

Constructive Comments: I would have liked to see the first tempo resurfacing once more in the middle section.Maybe let the steel guitar and violin play together at the end in counterpoint?

Broadjam Artist: Vivian M Woods
Song: This Is The Beginning

Reviewer: Bhaskar_The_Maximalist

Positive Comments: A very Lou Bega feel with more soul than Lou Bega. Takes me back to what rap was in the 90s before Eminem. :-)The bass groove is awesome! Nice percussions, gives it a homely feel.You might consider making this also a bit more electronic, if you want club plays.

Constructive Comments: You might consider adding a slap bass section in between to add that surprise element.
