Only critique (mix wise) I have is that the voice is slightly harsh in some places (sibilance wise) to my ears.
Just my 2 cents...

Hey Pink Wool! Thanks taking the time to listen and comment - I appreciate it.
In terms of arrangement, you're right - I am playing around with the usual verse/chorus paradigm. I went pretty traditional on my last album (see link below), but I'm being a little more adventurous here...
Still, the structure is ultimately pretty traditional, just with just a slight twist:
Intro > verse 1 > B section > verse 2 > Chorus 1 > Verse 3 > Chorus 2 > Bridge > B Section > Lead Break > (Breakdown) Chorus 3 > Chorus 4
The twist is that the "B Section" is kind of a "false prechorus"... It feels like it is building to the chorus, but then subverts expectations - that was pretty deliberate.
In terms of the sibilance/harshness you mentioned - can you be more specific about exactly where you are hearing it? Thanks.
