Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Along The Way

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Nicely done! You are definitely a player.

Constructive Comments: Instrumentals are tough. They very easily end up sounding like a jam without a very distinct hook or theme. But, you sound very good.

Broadjam Artist: Shao Suan LOW
Song: Two

Reviewer: John Hazlett

Positive Comments: This is a really nice piece that would go well as an underscore in a scene that depicts a romantic date in a romantic/romantic-comedy type of movie. Peaceful, but not boring.

Constructive Comments: Very nice piece, none needed.

Broadjam Artist: Adam Avery
Song: Redefined (Radio Edit)

Reviewer: CAEDMON’S DREAM

Positive Comments: * beautiful lead and backing vocals* lyric has a strong universal message* 12/8 feel flows & builds throughout* Be lifted up with this song!

Constructive Comments: + no intro (even 2 bars can set mood/feel etc)+ drums come in nicely on chorus but the sound quality changes (like a lower quality mp3 track) + nice guitar fills throughout+ fades out too fast

Broadjam Artist: CAEDMON’S DREAM
Song: Hold On

Reviewer: Richard Walker

Positive Comments: Good sentiment in the lyricsSteady rhythm and instrumentationGood vibe

Constructive Comments: The vocals and the machine drum track let the song down otherwise a fine effort

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Nothing’s Safe and Sound

Reviewer: CAEDMON’S DREAM

Positive Comments: * Keyboards and vocals stand out* String lines are clear and lush* A “Disney” musical feel* Nice performance and production!

Constructive Comments: + Adding one more musical element in the bridge (ex. bass, cymbal rolls, or other) could help it stand out+ non-diatonic chord change in piano intro threw me off (not really there in verse or chorus is it?)+ key modulation could be effective for last chorus melody line stays constant and can get repetitive+ very nice tempo change for ending+ I like this piece alot, I hope my comments don’t sound negative.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Manners Rap

Reviewer: Husky Records LLC

Positive Comments: Sounds like a promotional soundtrack for school aged children. I’m gonna Mind My Matters. LOL

Constructive Comments: The hook sounds just a tad bit louder than the rest of the song.

Broadjam Artist: Vicki Lee
Song: Earth to Angel

Reviewer: CAEDMON’S DREAM

Positive Comments: * unique lead vocals* song has memorable chorus/hook* lyrics have a strong universal message * simple instrumentation & nice chord changes* could be a movie “message” piece

Constructive Comments: + production is clear but mono track stereo sound-field can help each instrument stand out+ doubled vocals loses clarity in lyric at times+ chorus vocal is strong: but a unique instrumental part or lead-line to go along with chorus would help it stand apart from rest of the song
