Hi!
Another good mix. It's been a while but I remember this isn't an easy one to do well.
The only (minor) feedback I have is that for my taste I think the vocal could perhaps be just a little more upfront/present? Mainly as it's a star vocalist here. Possibly a db or so more volume but maybe something like a little 4k, and a bit more compression or some automation, on the odd sections where it dips down a bit compared to the band, would work.
One trick I like for upfront vocals is to have a short stereo delay on a send. Something like 80ms delay on one side, and 150ms on the other might be a good starting point. Just delay, no repeats. Feed a little bit of the vocal to it until you hear just a little lift in the vocal and it gets a touch more 3D and pops out the speakers a little, but without the effect being noticeable as such.
Cheers!
