I like the reverse riser at the beginning and the crisp beats at :14. The quirky pads at :43 are great - really nice, bouncy vibe with some sweet ancillary harmonies around it. The breakdown at 1:26 was good for some structural contrast too, and the vocals at 1:38 added a nice rhythmic component to the atmosphere there. The grouchy bass at 1:55 comes and goes a bit suddenly, but you transition well into the second drop at 2:22. The second drop felt a little chaotic and aimless, but the atmospheric outro at 2:51 is really smooth. The mixing and mastering are rock-solid here, by the way. The arrangement is a tad generic, but the sound design and atmosphere are really refreshing. Overall, great work with the instrumentation, rhythmic content, progression, and production here. Keep it up, CrowdDoll! ^_^
