The incidental noise at 4 seconds was a little harsh.
That up close intimate vocal style is excellent, (The free VST compressor Blockfish has a superb preset for it that comps but also colours the vocal really nicely), but it also exposes and emphasises essing and plosives.
Excellent song - deep, dark and damaged.
