Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: It sounds just like every other track by this artist, only less professional.

Reviewer: PHIL MITTEN STORYTELLER

Positive Comments: Great moody little number . Reminded me of something Lionel Richie might have written .

Constructive Comments: I enjoyed listening , but even after 3 plays , I’m still not sure what the song is about ?Maybe it’s just me !

Song: Jesse Palter’s “Sever the ties (Vi Breathe Remix)”

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Interesting blend of country / electronic pop, very Lady GaGa and very current.

Constructive Comments: I would reduce the amount of the clapping at the end and not sure about the vinyl cracking at the finish.

Broadjam Artist: James Ripp
Song: In a Child’s Eyes

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Constructive Comments: Very Nice. Nothing to add here!

Song: Never Forget Me (2019 Instrumental demo)

Reviewer: Nathan Totten

Positive Comments: The production is clear and has bite. The song is dramatic, builds nicely and could easily be heard on a movie soundtrack. Good stuff!

Constructive Comments: I don’t have any constructive criticism, only personal preferences. I would have chosen a less “messy” distortion for the big dramatic sequence so that you’d omit lose any bite. It’s a small matter of personal preference. Very solid instrumental 🙂

Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: Before My Fall

Reviewer: Nathan Totten

Positive Comments: That intro guitar is so smooth! The vocals remind me of Randy Newman, both in tone and mood. However, it also has a very laid-back, New York vibe with mature, literate, pithy lyrics. The production and mix are very good 🙂

Constructive Comments: It’s very well done, but I don’t think it should be in the rock alternative category. I would go either jazz or unique 🙂

Song: SHAME

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: NICE COUNTRY DITTY LIKE THE LAID BACK NATURE AND SIMPLICITY OF THE SONG

Constructive Comments: WOULDNT CHANGE MUCH ON THIS ONE—GOOD ONE. WAITING FOR THE LEAD TO SWEEP ME AWAY–CULD ALWAYS BE ADDED

Broadjam Artist: Vi: 00110110
Song: Smooth ride (Instrumental demo 2020)

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Great combination of sounds and nicely recorded. This would probably work really well in a video game or soundtrack.

Constructive Comments: Felt it stayed a bit to much in the same key for most of the track and really only moved between 2 chords. Also there is quite a lot of melodies going on so it does sound a little busy, I think a less is more approach would work well. Just one suggestion would be maybe a different snare sound as this one is a bit overpowering in my opinion.

Broadjam Artist: Nathan Totten
Song: The Meaning of Words

Reviewer: Antho

Positive Comments: Really like this – such an original sound and arrangement. The lyrics are brilliantly written and flow nicely, I didn’t know what to expect next!

Constructive Comments: I can hear the vocal pitch wavering a bit, can be a little distracting
