Thank you Joshua for the feedback! Here's the updated version with requested slight tonal changes. Sub is now a bit louder as well as tiny boost on the high frequencies.

Hi! As the mix notes say, it looks to be simpler than it actually is. A lot of things competing for attention. Great song though! Little about mix decisions: - heavier than usual vocal eq to keep it clean but still warm - tiny bit of tuning some notes on main vocals, mainly to smooth some autotune a...
