Vocals was the only important thing in this song, and I couldn't make anything decent out of it. Nothing wrong with the singer, but the recording quality sounded like it was recorded through an old children's 8-bit karaoke system.
The problem with vocal sound dictated everything else in my mix. As I had to leave vocals quite dark, it was very difficult for me to add any other instruments to the mix.
My main reference was an old Randy Newman "He Gives Us All His Love".
