First of all, I love the song! I have some inputs to the song too :) Lets take them first:
Add a soaring pop chorus. I will be a monsterhit with a soaring hooky great pop chorus.
Add a noise gate to the boomy kickdrum and snap off the reverbboom on it after some fractions of a second. I like the idea of booming the kick but this is overdone, leading to listening fatique. But the song itself and the video was so good that I had no problem hanging in.
Also, less reverb on snare will make it more contemporary-sounding.

The Video. Great idea/shooting. HEre is my 2 cents:
Start the music with the intro pictures (together) and cut down the clipping speed of the intro. People dont need 30 sec no-music intros to get the point. Kill your darlings, if you know what I mean.
More pictures, more clippingspeed, faster fadeoutin transitions.
Other than that, add more scenes from the car suddenly while u are faceshotting him inside against that white wall. Cross clipping like that from one scene to another and back can be powerful if clipped in a good way.
Else; I love it. The song is good, his voice is interesting and his appearance on the screen is good.

Keep it up.

Thanks man! Feedback is greatly appreciated!!! I'm mostly an audio guy but I'm dipping into video now! I didn't actually produce the song but your input on the music itself was very good! And thanks a lot for the input on the video! It's hard seeing that kind of stuff when you've spent so much time on something! That's why I put it on here! I will make sure to take in some of your advice when I shoot my next one! Thanks again!
 
Yo this is a very well directed and edited video my dude! Man I love the transitions and the effects you used during the video. Your talented. Come check out my vids too
