Overall I feel like the tune is too &#8220;remote&#8221;.  Do you have a bus reverb on the mix?  It&#8217;s got that digital mix drum sound&#8211;too far back and pasteurized with reverb.  I&#8217;d really argue for bringing the drums up more and making them earthier and more immediate (less reverb), along with a more aggressive bass part and mix level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Ali EdwardsSong: I&#8217;m Cryin&#8217;Reviewer: Jeff RobertsPositive Comments: Nice open shuffle groove.
