Loving the groove and sounds.  The pads are so beautiful.  Very good programming, the drums and bass are solid and full sounding.  Digging the Rhodes melodies.  Guitar tucked into a nice supportive role.  Cool breakdown around 2:20&#8230; Tune reminds me of Joe Sample.  Song has all the elements for a hit.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>Maybe the ride cymbals is a little too dominant in the mix. Getting some distortion on the piano around 2:30.  Melody doesn&#8217;t seem to be featured enough for me&#8230;. other elements are stronger in the mix drawing my attention&#8230; the rhythm especially takes away from the melody.  I think the intro could have been more subtle, would help to build the track.  The ride cymbals all the way through is a little much, I would have not included it in the intro&#8230; maybe less percussion until the groove happens. Never really felt a strong hook present.. I hear it at :50 and at 3:10 but with all the sounds the same it doesn&#8217;t stand out for me, maybe if you had that melody on a muted trumpet or sax it would have felt more special. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Eric and RaySong: CoolReviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)Positive Comments: Nice fresh open sound.
