advice on adding depth and transparency to this pop song

[amanitas]

Listening right now...

One thing that might help a little is moving the shaker/hithats around a little bit in the mix volume and pan wise. Right now they are right up front and are the only part o the mix that currently sounds like it's 2 dimensional - the piano sounds really nice, and the vocals are well performed and sonically strong.

Overall the mix sounds pretty radio friendly to me. The backing vocals that come in about half way on the prechorus seem a little pitchy to me but nothing major.

The strings sound like they could be fake, I might be tempted to verb them out a little bit more and bury them in the mix a little more, but that's just my personal preference.

Also towards the end I might try and get a little more dynamics happening in the lead vocals (or the rest of the band relative to the lead vox) as it seems like it gets a hair vocal heavy in that last chorus, especially the last couple times she repeats "only you" but again fairly subtle, nothing major...

Nice work
