Pro General Comments: Stefanie, this track fixes all of my concerns from "One Life". This song feels very competitively modern, closer to Pink and Kelly Clarkson and current radio than the other tune. Also, this is a fantastic idea. I think the strength of the hook is such an important thing, and you've found a title and idea I have never heard before and you've hit a homerun with the idea. This is great writing, with huge melodic power. This is a song you should play at showcases for labels, managers, etc. and is also a song I could hear with similar sync opportunities (though slightly trickier to place because it's a unique and darker perspective). Your recordings sound master quality and competitive with the best AC pop on the market. Whoever is doing your production - keep her or him around. This song gives you some vocal room to deliver, and you do it well. I'm very impressed and now a fan of your songwriting.
Quote From Pro: "Word Man" is one heck of a concept. Stephanie Johnson takes the idea that actions speak louder than words and turns it on its edge in a moving, dramatic song that is equal parts vocal lightning and songwriting strength.
