\"Junior<\/p>\n

Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Junior Murrell<\/a>
Song: <\/b>Your Life’s Ain’t Really That Bad<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewer: <\/b>Jeff Roberts<\/a><\/p>\n

Positive Comments: <\/b>This is really tight and funky. I’m inclined to call it Funk but there’s also a Prog Rock element to it to. It kinda sounds like Level 42 meets Marillion. I like the descending bassline. There’s some very good songcraft and musicianship here!!<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>I think the kick is too loud and the beater is really pop\/click heavy. It’s kinda boring a hole in my head it’s so strong. I think backing the kick down quite a bit and getting a duller\/heavy\/smooth kick sound would really tighten the groove. Bring the vocals up and maybe add a bit of close delay on them (hard to tell). The vocals should really be the focus. I’m not sure about “your life’s not bad” as a hook. What about reworking that to a positive phrase eg “it’s better than you think” etc. I think it needs some nice jangly Nile Rogers guitar chords. I’d really like to hear the next version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
