Positive Comments: Very cool intro that grabs the interest then builds. You’ve got a very contemporary Pop sensibility here with very well crafted sections that have interesting layers & parts, and lots of breathing space. You’re on the right track here!!
Constructive Comments: The intro has too much monotonic repetition with the same phrase that kinda drills in the brain–this is exacerbated by the really have bass & low mids on the vocal. It really needs to be thinned out–like when you start “the rain is falling”. The lyrics and performance aren’t really coming through: the vocal needs to be bigger while other things back off a bit, again reduce the bass, and you should put more emotion into the performance not only in intensity but through variety in the phrasing and melody. Too much autotune (any is too much).
