sorry if this sounds harsh, but here it goes:
not a big fan of autotune. less autotune makes recordings sound more human.
keyboards are working fine on this, but that is the only instrument that is really working.
melodic lines are also fine.
lyrics are weak- but that generally is fine in the genre.
this recording needs a lot more live instrumentation: live vocals (a guest spot or two would help break it up), live drumming (can't do drum machine all the way through), and live bass (accoustic would be great, electric would be good, and synth bass would be acceptable) to fill out the bottom end.
in todo: needs a lot of work, but i don't think it is time to toss it out and start over.
