\"Nigel<\/p>\n

Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Nigel Barrett<\/a>
Song: <\/b>The Island<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewer: <\/b>Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)<\/a><\/p>\n

Positive Comments: <\/b>nice “B Section” at :50. I like the part island part R&B feel. Very nice melodies happen throughout along with creative and unique ideas. I love the originality of this song, too many times here I hear songs that you can tell are derivatives or complete rip-offs of popular songs. Not here, this song has a special flavor all its own. Even more pleasing upon a second listen.<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>For me, there is too much effects on the sax…. leads me to think you are trying to hide or cover up a bad sound. The song has a very ‘programmed’ sound to it, with drums, bass and all instruments playing on samplers or keyboards. I miss the infusion and life of live instruments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
