Best Thing You Ever Had
Song Reviews
Epic hurtin' song
Dana has this rare vocal warmth and sustain. The crafting of the tale is wonderful, clever, interesting in its chord progression, lyrically compelling, and flows seamlessly. The solo guitar and sax licks are yummy, fitting and perfectly executed. The mix of the recording is ideal, and nothing short of professional. All the vocals can be clearly heard, no one instrument overpowers. Overall, a marvelous piece of work.

Dana's Soulful Vocals are Grammy Worthy!
Dana Jordan is one of the best indie artists ever. Her songs were beautifully amazing, and her vocals were hot! Keep it up, Dana! She will be the best in 2018, and she is the one, always the one! x

Beautiful!
It's hard to determine where to start when analyzing so much ingenuity, but with a song of such epic proportions of listening pleasure, it is only fitting to start with the melody. When I hear this beautiful tune of arpeggios going up and down, I feel as though I am being uplifted by angels, dropped, and lifted again, like a heavenly game of angel hot potato. It's also impossible to indulge in this harmony without salivating at the complexity of chords. The structure of chords is so structural, and the harmony is so harmonic, it paralyzes me with wonder that one human man could give birth to a piece of such epic proportions. Wonderful song and even better performance.

Lovely soulful vocals and a catchy chorus. Some really nice instrumental breaks too. This is a great number which is extremely well produced too. This lady is rightly popular on the nm1 platform - keep up the good workj

Best thing you ever had, Dana Jordan
Dana has a lovely voice, this is the first thing that struck me on this track, great production and a well put together song, all instrument are audible and well played, this is a bit commercial for my taste but a well constructed and absolutely nothing wrong with this track, very commercial radio friendly, but probably a little long in this day of less than 2 minute songs, all in all a great outing for Dana, i country song without too much of The yodel that seems to be the character of lot of American country music,, well done Dana

Girl Power Song!
Soulful song delivered with a strong voice that evokes feelings of a woman done wrong. Instead of revenge, she is "moving on" putting the hurt into making her life better because she believes in herself and that she was the best thing he ever had! Could be something Carrie Underwood might put on an album. The bridge could even be optional because the verses, chorus and musical breaks make it complete. Cool sax!

Great song !
I just love how the music flows. Who Ever produce this song needs to be in the business. The vocals are great, the instruments are wonderful. You can see someone took their time with this song.

Best thing..
I like the sound on this, the Bonny Rait instrumentation & vibe can be felt...There is angst...Good voice, the lead guitar is good but a tad bit loud at a low listening level. I could be wrong as I'm in a public place. I love the smoky sound to the tune....Your love is dead. I think for me I would change the Title the "BEST THING YOU NEVER HAD"....Play on words, easy fix, but this tune is done....LOL....Well, you go on to the next tune, & go onto the next love....

Dana Jordan
The song seeps the blues. All the insruments are tight & balanced where they should be. Dana's vocals are sultry & passionate. The sax solo fits the late night smokey ballroom scene. The guitar solo fits like a glove to the song. This is what modern blues should be about. I highly reccommend it & looking forward to more music from this artist!

Remember the Blues.
It brings back good memories of when I played at The Fritos Blues Connection touring the different lands of Spain, making the blues live on every living creature. Its great. Wonderful.

Good Song
Good lyrics... Good Voice Could be a little more up tempo. Singer puts a lot of feeling into her performance. Instrumentation is excellent. The length of the song is a good length. It would be good if some background vocals could be added.

Nice bluesy Ballad
This is very well done, very professional, great production and mix, really sounds suitable for radio. All instruments play clean, no solo excesses, every note is in the right place. The singer is very present without exaggeration and this "I show you what I can" attitude, which you often find in songs like this. The only thing I find less successful is the lyric. It may sound a little presumptuous to some ears to say: 'I was the best thing you ever had', you've heard it very often from the other perspective (You were the best thing I ever had) and I understand the attempt here, to try something new, but I don't think it works well, it makes it difficult for me to relate to the song.
