Thanks Nigel......It is a tad long for a pop hit....IMO it is OK as is for an album or extended version. This could easily be trimmed for the pop market. Re the mix it is in hand as I posted the wrong thing. The version I was working on had the vocal probs addressed plus one or two other things adjusted to give more light and shade. It does sound a lot better with the vocals higher in the mix. I think your concern re performance is valid but because it is so low in the mix takes away from the performance I think the edit addressed that to a certain extent. I cannot put up edited version right away as that is in the studio and I will not be going back there for a week or so. I will post it as soon as possible.
