New one from me, I heard Newcaise may have also found this vocal not too long ago.

Still wanna add some risers/atmospheric touchups in the background, but what do you guys think of the main idea?

Feedback, comments, critique is, as always, extremely welcome [and in fact encouraged]

All the best guys n gals!
 
really like it man, it needs a touch bit of mixing work, mainly the hat stands out quite a lot and I think its calling for some more perc layers to fill the break out.
I think once you have the mix sorted it'll be really solid.

The eq modulation on the vocal sounds good over the drop. Can you add a different bass or switch up the melody at end of 16s, usually helps to give the new 16 more energy i find
 
Hell yeah this is rolling out real nice Xiris!

This really isn't my type of tune (in terms of production, not saying I don't appreciate the sound) so you can take this with a pinch of salt, but in the interest of giving you something to think about I'd say the piano matching the vocal sounds a little Avicii for my ears; I'd suggest adding a few additional notes in here and there, or even following a counter-melody with the keys at certain points to deviate from the vocal a little. The drums are coming along nicely, sounds like you've still got a bit of work in mind on them, but I have no qualms with anything you've got there already, my only suggestion would be to throw a bandpass on the snare in the buildup and open it up as it progresses toward the drop.

I'd love to be of more help but I really don't have anything to add, great work and can't wait to see what it turns into!

aye, i agree with this as well, i think i could get some more layers in there, the tune does come across as a bit simple now that i've taken a couple days away from it. Thanks for your feedback man!
