very nice song and performance. the sound of the vocals is really good.
and now for the nitpicking :-D
to me it sounds a little odd that the organ constantly plays "colla

parte" with the vocals. in this composition, it makes some sense by

adding a "droning quality" (in the positive sense) together with the way

the same melody is used as an interlude. but generally i think your

intonation is good enough that you could take some more freedom with the

accompaniment in other tunes (and there is absolutely no dishonor in

using a colla parte instrument during recording to help nailing the

intonation and get rid of it in the final mix. what, me do such things?

never!)
the only thing i did not like was the synth syncopations at the end.

they disturb the drone and don't add weight to the ending, only unrest.

i could imagine the very same notes, but played a lot more laid back and

maybe with a rhodes sound, to have a better effect.
but then, nitpicking is always easy. thanks for sharing this song, and

keep 'em coming!
best,
jörn
