Song: Save A Little For Me

Pro General Comments: The lead vocal with doubles in spots fills the song up well. Sounds a bit like four to five country vocal groups at those places in this song. The balance made with the female & male vocal points you indicated on your page is good since that technique works well with this song. The vocal grouping is good on pitch and the topic concept is good. "Save a little" is a good filler cut for an LP and time of 3:03 is good in that way time too. If it's to be released on radio it's a fair play by timing alone with the marketing. With your team you might look into marketing to a tv cable commercial for use in "save a little for me... save a little for you" in the background or bumper intro cut works well too. As you may know the purpose of writing commercially is to find a spot for the returns on the investment which also perpetuates more success, I'm sure you know too

Quote From Pro: The potential of this song is there since the production is solid but only in my humble opinion. The technical parts are ok and visions now must go to your team of marketing to the public as I am sure that can be seen when this "little for me... little for you" is listened to by their marketing ears to the lyrics and nice up tempo. Good luck as I look forward to hearing about your great successes with any of the songs you've written. Also I look forward to my reviewing by Broadjam's Pro Reviewing in the future as well. Thank you for songs I've enjoyed and even the ones I've had suggestions about ... just keep writing!

Song: Zipcode

Pro General Comments: I love this song from the intro to the end and it has to do with your vocalists childish vocal excellent sound work. There is a place in the production that I would have punched in a corrected note or two but in my pro-opinion the songs as it is it's really OK. I am impressed by the application of the dichotomy of the death of the child's parents and the child's way of expressing it this way. It's done well. Bravo for the topic covered and how you have done exactly that task. The way to find a knitch for it to fit is the step you may take in a global search but it maybe in a short film or tv spot regarding even covid-19 for children since the space in time of under 4:00.

Quote From Pro: I ended listening at least five times just because the vocal was so cute, cute, Cute! It was well done and give "Zip Code" out as it's done well from the beginning to the end showing the listener where the premise goes to the great ending conclusion. The place about Mom missing the birthday to about the letter to Dad. "IF heaven has a zip code" is a kind of way to share the loss of parents in a way that is kind and with the good work even though the subject is usually very sad. I appreciate this type of vision of the songwriters to provide a window of caring and love with this point of view.

Pro General Comments: I tried with due diligence to listen to this song more than once, twice, and four times in order to try to come up with a good review of the singer performer but I cannot be positive in this regard as it's very important to any of your work to have a positive vocalist. Be aware I also hold the producer's & engineers' fault by not using the studio equipment in this pitch vocalists regard. The production of the song is hurt by the vocalist that is out of pitch for the notes on this lullaby. I look forward to the next song of yours to review as I know you have had a good vocalist on other recorded tracks you sent for Pro Reviews.

Quote From Pro: The production needs some work by your producer & engineer on this lullaby (see my comments in this regard). Sorry for my blunt review in the comments but I hope you are able to re record this song BEFORE you submit it again to anyone else especially if they've NOT heard any of your other songwriting work. I look forward to listening to some more of your work. God bless and keep writing.
