Overall I felt like the entire production could use more &#8220;air&#8221;, although it works as is as a kind of &#8220;intimate&#8221; feel.  I also felt that the end of the choruses seemed a bit swallowed vocally (&#8220;the end of time&#8221;).a little odd that the percussion drops off at 3:20 and the song goes on for another 10 seconds.overall this has a real fun feel that with a bit more EQ attention and production could really be a seller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Laurence WatkinsSong: Even IfReviewer: paul sandbergPositive Comments: original, interesting tonalities, cool, hip groove with appropriate lyrics.
