That intro has me already hooked.  The arrangement and instrumental performance\/arrangement are ace here.  The lyrics and hook &#8220;there but for the grace of God&#8221; are very effective and compelling.  This is excellent writing, arranging and overall concept.  What a pleasure to hear this originality and talent.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>The vocal is too dry and close.  I&#8217;d drop the volume a tad and add more reverb.  Maybe try another take further back from the mic and singing it a little harder?  There are some pitchy moments in the vocal throughout&#8211;for example:  &#8220;there&#8217;s a CROW&#8211;owwd&#8221; &#8220;if you TOO&#8211;ook all you have&#8221;.  If you can&#8217;t pull off the glissando without getting off pitch better to skip it, although I totally hear what you&#8217;re aiming at.This song is EXCELLENT in some many aspects.  I think if you use your vocal within limitations it will be excellent overall.  Please ask if you want more input or ears on the next version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Nigel BarrettSong: Looking at the face of GodReviewer: Jeff RobertsPositive Comments: A very cool funky groove that sounds like Soft Jazz radio or a new Gregory Porter tune.
