Instrumentation\/chord progression is easy-going and pleasant.  Vocal is nicely performed.  Nice production lovely female background vocals.  I really like the verse about &#8220;Would you be my child?&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>The female background vocal says the same thing &#8220;be a better man&#8221;.  To me that&#8217;s a little problematic.  Personally, I thought the jump from the woman to the child to be a bit strange, but I followed it.  Is that what you really meant in the song?  I am curious.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Jeff AshbakerSong: A Better ManReviewer: Kate CarpenterPositive Comments: Here&#8217;s a song of appeal: Would you be my girl?
