Yeah, the vocals aren't horribly performed, and I didn't hear anything majorly out of tune and cringy, but there were definitely a lot of brief, noticeable flat spots that added up, and the vocals are so dryly mixed that none of those flat spots are covered up or mitigated. There's a lot going on in terms of treating the instrumental and giving the sound of that aspect more depth, that I'm honestly surprised the same attention wasn't given to the vocals to make it all gel together. I had to check this out since it's Stevo and I was surprised at NOs, but I see where they're coming from. Some vocal auto-tuning, chorusing, and/or other post-production could push this over the top, but the vocals really shouldn't sound this dry; even if there were 0 flatness issues, the dryness was a significant issue. Strong arrangement otherwise, Stevo, so I really hope we get v1.1, please!
