Boy, the vocalist sure has a good voice, and it's mixed very well here. I 'd rearrange the song to make the long intro shorter - to get the vocals happening sooner.
 
You might lower the volume on that sleigh bell, and maybe have less of it? Once you establish the sleigh bell, we know it's Christmas , so it could come back in more sparingly than it does. Whenever you drop it out, I found myself liking the song more, fwiw.
 
nice job!

Agree with emeraldsoul about the intro but I personally am very happy to be reminded it's Christmas! I very much enjoyed this song. I often hear songs where the lyrics are almost impossible to understand. Not in this song. Who ever is singing has a wonderfully clear voice and it's a real pleasure to listen to. A great song.

Sounds well here, though those sleigh bells do get a little irritating eventually.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kloon,
 
I'm one of your number one fans as well.  I like your singer.  The only thing that I couldn't get past was the *early electronica* drum machine.  I didn't like the sound of the claps (quasi-gun shot?).  Also it could use some more variety in the drum track.  Rhythm is just a pet peeve of mine.

Very cool Kloon. I agree that the intro is a bit long. Good song and I like the synthy drums.

Good catchy song. I can imagine this being played on radio, almost as it is. Strong lyrics, lovely production. On good quality phones I felt the vocals needed to come up in the first part of the song, but they sort themselves out pretty quickly.

Hehe, thank you very much. :)
The claps are actually real sampled "hand claps", i will try to vary the drums a bit more in the future.
I really like keeping them simple.

Really nice that the lyrics are strong, as english is not my first language.
