Why Ft/ Kate - DrClue

Very solid track. Very pretty, very good, but I'll offer up a few minor tweaks. They seem nit picky because there aren't any major problems with this song. The levels are great, musically it's great, and it's well-produced. You could essentially call it final as it is. But anywho, here we go:

Turn down the strings a bit because they really drown out the piano and interfere with the vocals a little (Unless that's what you're going for). Try having a section or two without them even, just for diversity. They're gorgeous, yes, but just a tad overused. Having a section with just piano, bass, and drums could be a powerful contrast. The mix doesn't always need to be full.

Thicken up the piano. You could do this by duplicating the notes an octave or two lower. It sounds a little too twinkly for hip hop and could help bump up the low end as well. I think the piano lines could benefit from being stronger and more present in the mix.

Try playing around with a lighter kick, as this is a mellow track and the club kick is just too heavy and calls too much attention to itself. It should be present enough just to keep the song moving, as you don't seem to be going for a completely danceable club track.

Contrast the percussion some. That high hat line is nice, but doing some varied percussion for the chorus would be huge. Adding some more intricate complementary rhythms could make a nice texture. It would give your sections a different sense of movement. IE) Slow chorus, fast verse. This will help break up and define the sections more.

Finally, contrast the verse and chorus more. I mentioned this before, but it would do wonders for the movement and feel of your song. Other than these minor nuances, great song, but could be slightly better.

Great track, and like MMaster said, it's a good message. I like the strings and the piano. You got serious talent bro.
