Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Jeff Lodge<\/a>
Song: <\/b>Let it Rain<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Positive Comments: <\/b>Great intro with catchy key hooks and contemporary ambient filler parts. Nice vocals –this reminds me a lot of Owl City \/ Fireflies. There’s a lot of skill in the arrangement, parts, and sounds here. Nice work–this is radio quality music!! <\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>Autotune right? Not quite Cher but it’s getting there. Why do that? You’ve got a good vocal quality, and I’m sure your pitch is good enough in human form. I’d really like to hear the vocals up more and with more personality and imperfection. On the bridge\/B section I think the drums are getting too Prog busy along with the low five string bass parts. It’s a cool sound but it washes out the vocal impact and goes counter to the vibe. I think you wanna be more “Death Cab” here. The ambient touches are often overpowering the vocals. Having an answering female vocal would be really good here. And some harmonies. Lyrics on B section are lost in the mix and that’s the best part of the lyrics. Drums are too reverby 80’s Peter Gabriel for contemporary ears. Overall it’s too remote IMO. I want to hear it more close and personal, with passion. MLK found sound may be too pedantic and kitschy at this point, although always pertinent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
