Great performance.
On Headphones:

I like the direct and natural sound of the voice(s). I also like the positioning of the multiple voices which (to me) unfortunately only is done when the additional voices appear the first time, while later they are just on top of each other.

To me the reverb on the drums sometimes is disturbingly strong.

It all sounds good ! I felt it was building up for a solo section that lifts up.

I wish I could engineer that kind of in your face/close up yet perfectly clear sound. Can't fault the performance or production.

Great song and mix. I like your voice.
You do hold back your singing. Try to practise on emphazise parts to get it more dynamic.

Thanks very much for taking a listen, appreciate the feedback on the drums.
I used Kontakt kit "Abbey Road Drummer" and Kontakt has a mixer on the kit, it was set to "psychedelic", which was basically tons of reverb.
Then I was following a mixing tutorial from Kenny and followed the steps to add some FX to the drum tracks, including reverb, but the drums probably already had enough from the Kontakt mixer.
Thanks again for the feedback!
