Been awhile since I've posted. Really like this song and couldn't resist loading it up.. and I really enjoyed working on it (about 3+hrs).

I like the basic concept of your mix, but I wonder if the snare is a bit too loud/bright. Not it takes the focus away from the soft almost spoken vox.

I like the feel of your version some cool things happening throughout keeping it interesting.
Good Balance . Maybe a little on the bright side listening on different monitors mine also sounds a little thin compared to others and the preview mix.

Cheers

There's definitely a few ways to set a feel for this song in the mix.. my preference in mixing style lean to aggressive/groove'ish by default.

Thanks Don, it is bright, there are some nuances in the lead vocal and especially the backgrounds that I wanted to be audible without being too loud in the mix. There's some great percussive sounds in Bass 1 and Gtr tracks I also wanted to be audible enough to add a feel to the tune. Hope we can get more from this artist.

In rev2 post, I took your suggestion and unsharpened the snare a bit while still holding to the punch I want. Thanks.
