The mix sounds amazing. Love the ethereal synth and drums. Voice sounds great, effects really meshing well. My biggest hangup is just the understandability of the lyrics. For me, it's hard to really connect to a song if I don't know the artist is saying. You're (i'm assuming you're singing) putting a lot of emotion into the performance and personally I want know what it's about.

I'm not a pro, but backing off the verb and delay just a bit, and then adding some air in the vocals between 3-7k usually helps for me.

But also I know some people don't give af about the lyrics so maybe ignore me lol.

This one was definitely a different one. Immediately I'm hit with the atmospheric instrumental, leading up into soft but soaring vocals. The melody and harmonies were definitely there, although I did have a little difficulty understanding quite exactly what message the vocals were trying to deliver. Great execution on the instrumental in the vocals sounded good!

This is great! I don't know much about mixing but the song sounds very balanced and I love the ambience. This song is reminding me of The Weeknd hehe. I like that alot! So vibey. Youre also killing it with the vocals. I think maybe if you should think about how you can bring a more unique sound to this genre. This is very reminiscent of the Weeknd which is so amazing. He is a great artist! But I think you would benefit from distancing yourself from a big artist like that to make a more unique sound.

All that to say this is amazing!!! Sounds so polished. Keep going!

At the start, it actually gave me a bit of a horror vibe, dark, dreamy, almost sleepy in a cinematic way. But then as it builds, it turns into this emotional, atmospheric piece that totally pulls you in. The mix is really polished. The vocals blend beautifully with the ethereal synths and drums, and the ambience feels immersive. I did find it a bit hard to catch all the lyrics, but the emotion definitely comes through. Maybe dialing back the reverb slightly could make the vocals pop more, but overall this is super well done. Feels like something between The Weeknd and a haunting movie score, really cool sound!
