Terrific lovely vocal with grit to deliver the angst. The melody is well written and would work very well as a popular album cut.

That&#8217;s what most of my scoring is based on. The rest is personal preferences which I reserve for this box so here&#8217;s mine: I think the guitars and other electronic instruments overwhelm the voice. Experiment with bringing them down about 10 percent to start with. Don&#8217;t like it? Bring them back up. Perhaps experiment with different keyboard sounds at the beginning with a middle pitch or softer tone just to find out how it sounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Ian RitchieSong: Love Overwhelms MeReviewer: John WalradtPositive Comments: Power and more power in this power ballad of loss!
