First thing i got to my mind, is you should use Autotune in vocals.
Overall your mix sound quite fine to me. I think you have compressed bassdrum a little bit too much and maybe the snare too.. If you have some drumreplacement tools i think you should trig those drums(snare,Bd) . that accordion sounds awesome. What mic you used recording that accordion?

Good work, man
