Thumbs up I like it

Personally, I like the mix the way it's done, pretty much soup-to-nuts. The one thing that I think could be changed (and this is a minor tweak) is to take out some of the mid-bass; I think someone else mentioned around 400 Hz, and I think they are right based on a quick re-eq of the track. Also, a mild notch around 120 Hz (maybe 3-4 dB attenuation with pretty high-Q). When I tried it (notching at 120 as well as 400 or thereabouts), it helped clean up the vocal articulation.

Apart from that though, I think you're to be commended. I found the track very listenable with solid musical performances and nice mixing touches, and the fact that it's a nice tune doesn't hurt.

Again, nice work.
