You're on point as always. The guest vocalist is phenomenal. My main complaint is that keyboard patch in the break sections - I don't care for the timbre. The mix is good overall. Things do sound a bit distorted (especially the vocals) but it does sound like an intentional choice. Hell of a chorus hook. Keep putting out material this good and you'll make it to the final round. If there is one thing that could work against you in later rounds: You have set the bar very high, and it can be very tough to continue putting out quality output as the competition goes on. As it sits, this is another stellar entry. Well met.

This didn't quite grab me like your last couple of songs, although it's still extremely impressive. The "god damn" hook reminds me of a bunch of pop songs I've heard a bunch on the radio / at work and it really sticks in the head; the stuttery pauses that occasionally pop up in the other vocals bugged me a little, however. My main complaint with this one, compared to your previous ones, is that I had no real emotional reaction to this one at all - you proved extremely adept at giving me "the feels" in the first two rounds and I miss that here, although perhaps it's unfair to expect that from every song.

Something about the EQ of this track sounds wrong to me, it’s something in the treble roll-off and the overloaded bass synth sound. That being said, this is another vocal tour-de-force, as I’m sure you know. I personally found the “goddamn goddamn” a little cheesy—if this were a Broadway show and I could see a matching performance, maybe I’d feel differently about it. I love your guest’s voice, smoky and very Morcheeba-y. This is a good song, but it’s definitely not your best entry IMO, mostly bc your chorus hooks to now have been excellent and this one feels a bit forced even though the performance is excellent.
