Wonderful approach to the mix, Cefe!
I think the slow build at the start really suits the song.
Especially in a sparser mix such as this where the vocals are exposed, there needs to be a bit of space put around them - reverb, delay, or a combination of both. At the moment they are very dry when they should 'pop' a little more.
Reducing frequencies below 200Hz (and I also put in a dip around 350Hz or so) will also remove some of the muddiness of the vocals.
The bass balance in your version is about right (mine sounds really big because I was listening to Jamiroquai before hitting this song).
And I like the little rise and fall synth you have added to the song, or did you affect the cymbal wash or synth wash with a resonant filter?
Very well done indeed!

So many songs, so little time!
