Critique my mix: "Waiting On You"

[Ezekiel]

This is an original song I want to release. I'm confident in my ability to write and track music but I'm not super confident in my mixing. Especially since I do mostly headphone mixing in my apartment lol.

Anything stand out here that should be fixed?

I just gave this one a listen, and there were several things that stuck out to me.

The voice has a hollow sound to it, and is pretty sibilant in several places. I don't know if that's the way the original track sounds or if it's your EQ choices. It just has a strange tone to it, which I didn't find pleasant. The harmonies at the end could be higher.

The guitar solo doesn't "blend" with the rest of the track. I think it's several dB too strong.

Those would be the first things I would try to address.
