Might be too stereo try filling the mono space you have otherwise you have some decent idea there keep working on the mix Kick/Bass  ;)

i feel like the drop isn't wide enough. good build to it but when the drop came I would say add more umph. how much reverb is in the vocals and lead? I feel like if my ears are correct that could be one thing that is muddying that area. maybe turn the lead down a tab. it's really bright. wheres everything panned to? phaser is good for adding some space to let things breath in the mix.

Hope this helps. if you have splice and ableton maybe i can help?

Sounds like you might have a plugin delay compensation issue (on the main plucky lead in the chorus, and the hihats are delayed also), either that or they're just slightly out of place.

Really nice vocals/melody.. melody could use some variation at some point though.
Also would add some more to the low end.. lower sub or something to fill it out more.

You have a great melody / lead going, super catchy! I think some new bass elements along with some drum fills would really bring it together. Another way to liven up your mix is to layer in some more synths w/ the chord elements. Cross compression can help to reduce mixing of some elements.

It doesn't sound too bad. I guess try widening the main sound of the drop. But don't widen too much. Maybe just around 700hz-4khz. Also try adding some high end to the lead to make it sound "fuller".

Also is this for a remix contest?

this sounds super cool! is it calvin harris inspired? sounds a lot like him to me. i agree with stereo image issue, it does sound a kinda weird. try making it a lil less wide and fill in the middle/mono area, that might help. it also seems like the kick needs some more sub too. nice job though!
