I'm interested to hear what you think of the mix. Thanks!

Got it working. Very slick and great vocals. Prince meets Genesis meets... Starise?

The musical arrangement/instrumentation needs work.  First of all, there's a clash in the bass region at around 0:18.  That clash repeats numerous times throughout the song.   2:20 has some other bass clash.  It's important that the bass note be clearly and unambiguously stated as the overtones are generated off that note.
 
It sound like you currently have three different instruments playing in the bass region; piano, bass and organ.  The piano/bass guitar unison can be an attractive sound, but I would suggest using that device sparingly.  Let the bass instrument play the bass part and delete the MIDI notes from the other parts. It'll sound a lot cleaner.  
 
Some rhythm guitar would be good for this song as well.

I like this. I would say Foreigner meets Firefall though.
 
It seems bottom heavy though. Maybe it's the low piano notes fighting the bass?
 
Great bit of tunage there!

Aside from simplifying/tightening up the bass parts, I'm guessing the drums aren't finished yet?  The kit doesn't sound bad for the song but it could use some fills, crashes, etc. 
 
I would also suggest shifting some of the vocal harmonies/doubles to line up just a little closer to the lead.  Not artificially accurate, just a bit tighter.
 
Nice song though!
