Interesting :D

I'm probably too old to make an informed opinion, but from an Old School point of view, the only thing I'd change is the lead vocal volume. It can be a little indistinct at times. But hey, your genre, your rules 8)

Nice job!

Tyanks trevlyns,
I have been trying to get our stuff to sound louder on streaming sites like Spotify. I upload at the recommended loudness units of -14dB, but the pro stuff still seems louder. Maybe need to duck the kick via side chain. IDK, any secrets would be appreciated.

I always check my mixed down WAV's on this site - FREE. It's a great indicator of what the various services will do.

This was my latest effort which shows if it will be turned up or down (in db) by the service. -

Another possibility is to mix all 'music' to its own bus, then you could balance the vocals against this without having to fiddle with individual volumes.

I like it - great flowing melody and multi-layerd vocals. It's got that Cocteau kind wall-of-sound thing going on - great work.
I dodn't have a problem with the vocal level, but I did go to that link for checking loudness - very informative!
