Forum postI'm not a fan of the shorter chorus, but it works. Gang vocals at the end are done well and I like them a lot. Someone mentioned the spoken word bit could be polarizing and I could see it. For me this is a textbook way of handling it in a song. I loved how you used the music in the background. It's mixed pretty well.
Challengewise: Verse/Chorus key change. Pretty popular tactic and you've done it well. That transition chord into the chorus is tasty and works as a nice cadence into the new key. The vocal melody goes higher which gives energy while your music shifts down. That's a neat little trick and I'm making a mental note to try it out sometime. The almost meandering chord progression back to the verse is lovely, too.
