Hi,
I gave this one a good listen.
I do feel this mix is simply a little too heavy handed for my taste. Everything seems just that bit too overprocessed and heavy, and it sounds kind of edgy, rather than smooth to me. For this material I'd prefer a more delicate touch and a slighty more natural sounding mix. More along the lines of Al Schmitt / Chuck Ainlay? No need for quite so heavy kick/snare. The vocal is also perhaps a touch too forward, and the vocal blends could be a bit better?
Sorry to be a bit of a downer!
For me these kind of mixes are the hardest - you have to do just enough to make a good mix, but not so much that it loses the natural feel and sound.
Cheers!
