Tano pretty much nailed our thoughts on the harmonies and the arrangement.
And we further agree with the melody note repeats.

I think you were fortunate to connect with such a great vocalist.
And especially one that you could well communicate with.

I rambled on a bit about mastering below. Apologies smile

Enjoyed it,

J&B


PS There is a post entitled "Loudness Target Limits for Streaming Platforms" on the off topics forum. I responded twice and my second response has some reference to our mastering techniques. You might find the info regarding the use of a "reference song" of some interest. FWIW Mastering for us is very personal regarding what WE want it to achieve. No way could we turn that over to AI. I want control over every aspect of it. You can't make a bad mix sound good with mastering but you can make a good mix sound bad. For us the goal is to make good mix sound great. And you have a good mix.
And if your mastering program is brickwalling the mix it's time to try something else.

Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
