Couple of other things to consider:
- have a listen to some reference mixes of a similar style while mixing. It sounds like you've piled on a bit too much treble in general, on tambourine and vox especially, which might be because your system is a little dull in the trebles so you've boosted stuff to compensate. Or it might just be that you've piled on the treble to make it sound "exciting" and it's got out of hand - I've been there myself plenty of times
- also maybe slow the attack time on the snare compressor, the initial attack sounds squashed. Might sound better if just a bit more of the initial transient gets through. Overheads and snare could use a bit less treble as well.
Overall though it's a good balance, I reckon with some treble reduction and less reverb it could sound really sweet.
