The mosquito sounding synth line under the hook chorus isn't working, use something smoother that doesn't clash with the vocals. I don't know if Soca uses a specific BPM but the track seems a little rushed feeling, maybe drop the tempo a little, it sounds a little hectic and I get that's part of the appeal but you can be up tempo and relaxed a little too. I'm not a big fan of any of the sounds by themselves if I think about it but overall it works together except for the buzzy synth. It would stand out as a little more original with some different kick and bass sounds I think. All these are first impressions, I like the vocals, a couple times the balance and performance on the backgrounds seems off. I know that 'fine fine like chili baby' will be knocking around my head all day now though. I want to see the video with some fine ladies shaking it and the lead singer dressed in a big chili uniform lol.
