I like it. It's a solid, tight mix.
I am losing the bass a little. I can feel it but there could be some more notes poking out to catch the ear.
I like the focus on the piano in the bridge. It helps change up the song a bit.
The vocals all sit nicely.
My only complaint is that it may feel a little over saturated.
Thanks Roy, The saturation levels was something I wasn't too sure about and I guess trying to reference the overall effect from sources like YouTube isn't a good move to begin with. Based on your thoughts, I might try to automate the parallel compression tracks up and down through the song. This may help with some excitement and dynamic change. I do agree with some extra width for the chorus vocal part also.
I'm still not completely sure what to do with the bass. The tracks I referenced seem to use it for foundation purposes only with very little upper register response which I kind of tried to mimic . I did keep the bass track clean in this mix, perhaps some distortion could be the key here.
A great critique Roy, something for me to work on. Very much appreciated.
