I always hate anything more than VERY minor effects on vocals. And from what I heard, your voice needs no such help.
And, the concept has been done to death. That's not necessarily a bad thing. A huge majority of the hits from this era (or any era) are not conceptually original.
What allows one to get away with a "retread concept" is excellence in the songwriting.
I think you have achieved that. Even with the filter on the vocals, this grabbed me and held my interest.
I think it's a good performance of a good song.
While I was on your site, I listened to your "Foolish Dreams" song. That song confirmed that you have no need for gimmicks with your voice. And it's a really good song too. LOVED the vocal delivery. So many times, you just hesitated and began a syllable just a bit differently than I anticipated.
Surprised me in a really good way throughout the song. You have achieved the songwriter's holy grail with that song. Familiarity without predictability.
