Get the clearest sound you can get at the recording stage. Use eq to get rid of unnecessary frequency build ups (check between 200-500 in particular). Use eq to match the presence and brightness of the instrumental track (2k-ish, and 10k-ish). Smack the compressor to get a "thick, full bodied sound" and use a limiter on the vocals so it matches the overall "thickness" of the track. Add a touch of reverb and/or delay to give it a little space.

That's the basic stuff.
