"Jamie Holden has meticulously constructed the details of these songs.
The performances are solid, the recordings are professional and broadcast quality. He owns an extremely strong voice and nails every one of these performances. Lyrically, excellent. Good job crafting the choruses of these songs. - Pro review
"Jamie Holden has done a very focused and thorough job throughout.
Each track on 'Garfield Drive' contains it's own unique and expressive structural approach that revolves and evolves around a powerful and definitive melody. This is a talent and skill that displays not only great knowledge when it comes to the design and execution of a musical composition it also showcases his most powerful asset ... TALENT!
These recordings are professional, the vocals are performed with passion, focus and a true attention to pitch." - Pro review
"WOW! 'Hard to Let Go is a great song! Well written, played and recorded. Great dynamic contrast too. I've done almost two hundred reviews since I've been on the network, and this is one of only a handful of songs I've heard that I believe to be a guaranteed "Hit Song"! I'm going to check out your site when I finish the review. Great job and best of luck!!!"
