Nice arrangement, good variety throughout, nice dropouts and dynamics. Love the guitar power chord hits that add a rock edge. Drums are nice and crisp, 808 bass hits deep and hard. Nice turntable fills as well. Tremendous vocal performance and production; the vocal track sits front and center in the mix with amazing clarity and presence, and you do a great job of delivering your lyrics with a natural confidence and swagger, as well as an easy rhythmic flow that should help to engage audiences. Lyrical content is fun and rewarding, with an optimistic message that should instill self-confidence and promote a positive self-image, particularly in younger listeners.
