Smooth, clean, well played, nice tone, cool choices, all within that same sleepy soft-pop vibe. Hat&#8217;s off on the arrangement.  I like the change when it comes.  Overall you&#8217;ve captured a cool mellow feeling here that reminds me a little of Michael Franks.  The instrumentation is wonderful! Great job on this song.  Hope you get it placed!<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I was feeling really good about this groove at first but it started feeling a little stiff later, possibly drum machine or quantized playing? Also there are times the vocal seems just a little pitchy, but not to the point of distraction.  When the song hits the bridge at about 2:15 the vocal gets a bit outside, again a little pitchy and just phrasing I wasn&#8217;t crazy about.  Not to worry.  This is a really nice tune, and well done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: John van WicklenSong: Astral SkiesReviewer: Paul Pierce ProjectPositive Comments: The sax is MONEY.
