Broadjam Artist: <\/b>One More River Music<\/a>
Song: <\/b>Snowflakes in the Sun<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Positive Comments: <\/b>Really compelling vocal performance with a strong, pure tenor that has a very emotional vibrato. There’s some really excellent piano work that’s really classic in the Carol King, Melissa Manchester, and Barry Manilow (hey that’s OK) vein. There’s a very delicate touch with arrangement, and this even has a bit of church hymn solemnity.<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>Your vocal is being overpowered by the piano. I think you should back the piano level down and also roll off the low EQ <200K on it too. I'd skip the Journey\/Toto guitar solo--I really don't think it fits your song. I'd look to CSNY as the production\/arrangement reference. At 3:30 I think you've gone too show tunes with extended sections and getting off the main track. I'm not sure the \"snowflake\" trope is really working or justified the way you've worked out the tune. If you're going for that you really have to build lyrical references to that metaphor to substantiate it (but I'd go for something that's less of a stretch).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
