Been working on this song for about two years and don't have any band members left over to give feedback haha. Interested in thoughts on the singer, arrangement, mix etc.

Not my kind of thing but a very solid production for SoundCloud.

that genre isn't my cup of meat. for what it is ...i suppose it's fairly well done.

being an old dinosaur, i'm a "BAND guy" and so i'll always prefer hearing a "band".....as opposed to what sounds to me like a bunch of multitracked sequenced synths playing arpeggios and drum machines.

i also have a little trouble with the repetitiveness of the vocal line and would like to hear some more variety in the phrasing there. but then again...i suppose that IS in step w that genre. 8)

The flutter of the melodyned-vocal is really annoying to me.

It's done very well overall and the vocal quality and performance is excellent. First thing that sticks though out is the intro. Its just too much keyboard and nothing else. Missing something. I keep having the feeling of maybe adding a small choir to the beginning for a few measures, perhaps even kids voices. Maybe bringing it back later or at end of song as well.
