Broadjam Peer Song Reviews

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Living in the Trees

Reviewer: Richie Sings

Positive Comments: Calm song.

Constructive Comments: Smoothe beat.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: We’ve Never Let Go Of Our Dream – Instrumental

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: What a nice tune. I’ve listened three times now. It’s really sweet and smooth, and it has enough new ideas appearing to keep in interesting but enough repetition to make it stick in the mind and feel familiar within the first minute. I LOVE the descending bassline bridge section. Nice work!

Constructive Comments: The bass sound is too boomy in the low EQ <100K range and also too loud in the mix. I think the bass lines are a tad too busy and this would flow better if you let the bass sit in the groove a bit more statically and just anchor without being quite as active (I have to fix the same thing in a couple of my tunes). Nice job!!

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.

Song: SAME OLD

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: I love keyboard! Strings on the bridge are a nice touch. Tasty solo.

Constructive Comments: I kept anticipating the rest of the band to kick in.

Broadjam Artist: Jim Haye
Song: jam the Funk

Reviewer: Ron D Bowes

Positive Comments: Nice easy listening and fun funk.

Constructive Comments: As a short piece for licencing this fine. As a track it ultimately goes nowhere, but I am assuming it is the former that you are aiming for,so, on that front no criticism

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Fearsome Blues Instrumental

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Got my foot tapping right off the bat!

Constructive Comments: It’s a catchy little tune, but I don’t know if there’s enough to support it as a stand alone instrumental. It seems ready made for some vocals.

Broadjam Artist: CaiNo
Song: Keep Your Eyes Open

Reviewer: Janet Murphy

Positive Comments: sounds a lot like Michael Jackson Nice flow

Constructive Comments: good job!

Broadjam Artist: B. Greg Colburn Jr.
Song: Far From Home

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Gorgeous guitar intro! And the vocal performance is just as good. Both have superb engineering. What a great vocal performance and voice. You’ve got a tremendous mood and evocative lyrics going. Think of what Sturgill Simpson would do with this…

Constructive Comments: I’d skip the second phase of the guitar intro where it gets busier. It makes it too long and you don’t want to introduce too much side theme. Overall I’d back off the busy guitar work and focus on chords & strumming to allow the song to prevail (of course your picking is very good). “come alive” the melody/phrasing/singing drops off a bit. I’d rework that to make it stronger. same with that phrase after “the place is gone”. I think you need a bridge and a chorus sections in G to bring a big lift, using harmony vocals and a female voice in the harmony. This is a fantastic start. I’d like to provide the chorus & bridge parts if you’re interested. Actually I’d like to produce and arrange another version of this…
