pro's comments: Of the hardest things to write is a Christmas themed song that isnt so stupidly obvious that is cheesy or bad or too different that it doesn't evoke that emotional feeling and set off all the mental images that make a great Christmas song. This however is perfect. Jazz classy, lullabye soft, Love… see full review

song: TO BE A MAN

artist: allison bolton

pro's comments: This song reminds me of retro Americana folk from the 60's. The steel guitar is country but a harmonica could easily replace the steel guitar. The form structure is very Americana folk in my opinion. Verse/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus/instrumental outro is not contemporary country radio… see full review

song: IT IS WHAT IT IS

artist: Hustle and Grind Entertainment

pro's comments: I feel this song has serious club and urban radio potential. The female vocal is great and reminds me of a female Drake. All of the sounds and drums and feels are very current. I like the vocal efx, sounds like a autotune sort of thing. The apreggio synths are spot on also. This song could also go… see full review

pro's comments: I think this is a good hip hop record. The hip hop purists appreciate songs like this. We're in a time now where rappers aren't rapping about anything with substance.

pro's comments: Good piano intro but could have been built it up a bit slower to build suspense, make the listener wait a bit don't give all away so soon.

song: Everything is Anything

artist: Justin Seegert Music

pro's comments: Probably the most captivating and enjoyable part of "Everything Is Anything" is the most important part of all: the hook. The words come out the the singer's mouth like a fusillade of gunfire notes--super-singable, memorable, repetitive, and hook'y. The fact that this is also the chorus and… see full review

pro's comments: It's an epic at 7 minutes! To make that play consider an arrangement that evolves as the song progresses. There's quite a bit of Verse/Chorus to get through to get to that instrumental for a little break. It can be done. Something amazing should pull us through each new section to feel the wonder… see full review
