Breakout - Some of the vocals early in the song are just a little uneven. Slightly sharp. Once the song gets rolling, though, it gets better. Otherwise, the only thing I can see to suggest in the actual recording is when you're doubling the vocals in certain spots. Personally, I'd bump it down in the mix just a little bit. It'll still be beefy, which is what I'm guessing you were going for. At similar volumes, all the flaws between the two separate vocals shine through, something I assume you don't want.

Second Place - The occasional same problem as in the first song with being slightly sharp here and there early in the song. It happens much less in this tune, though. I really dig the guitar line in this one.

Songwriting isn't bad, but needs a little oomph.

Overall, it's not too shabby in my book. Has a kinda Duncan Sheik meets Elliot Smith vibe. I COULD dig this a whole bunch. I just think the breathy vocals need a touch of work. You look and sound the part of a hearthrob (I'm male and dig the ladies, settle down), so I can see you being successful with a little work.

Best of luck, man.
