Hi!

Some immediate thoughts:
- Vocal is too loud in comparison to the rest, feels very dry, that delay makes it feel like it was recorded in a small room
- Some ambient instruments are missing in the second half of the verse
- The hat stands out a bit too much
- The riser in the buildup is very bass heavy
- Chorus
    - Loses energy in comparison to the verse.
    - The kick is too low, the bass too high
    - The main synth is missing
    - The first hit is unbalanced to the right
    - Toms are too loud
- That added synth in the second verse does not really fit

Some of these points are just personal preference :)

I would primarily work on the general balance of the instruments and the vocal. Currently, the mix feels very muddy.

Thanks for the feedback, you really have ears for sound. You pinpointed the major things i did in my mix. I mixed this song to my preference and it sounds good to me especially the bass.
Looking forward to posting a new mix with the corrections you suggested.
