Positive Comments: It has potential with the right adjustments to the mix and arrangement. I’ve included more notes in the constructive side of things.
Constructive Comments: Keys sound a bit faded, I’d shoot for some sample sets that reproduce your instruments in a more brighter and full fashion. You’ve got a couple mix issues from timbre to timbre that could really be improved on actually. Vocals should be fluffed in the earlier sections especially. Your FX should come up a little more to highlight the variety of timbres and sounds you got going on. The kick needs to slam more. You’re in pop. Pop is notorious for its beat. Try this… Bring down all of your levels to negative twenty and then balance everything from there. Then? Make sure your kick pops, double up your vocals and lean one channel slightly to the right or left side to fill up that presentation a little more. Any kind of effects should be globalised that way your reverbs are matching and everything feels in its right place. Your bass could benefit from some fattening as well. Mix for clarity… master with a big stick. Most of your issues are levels and dynamic fluffing. Hope it’s useful.
