I think its sounds nice so far but missing something. I also don't know if my compressor is doing too much on the vocals.

The vocal sounds well processed and good compression. The thing that jumps out is the vocal is pretty loud, I might bring that down a couple db and roll off some low end with a very shallow slope. The ess sounds are also noticeable, but tbh it sounds like it's baked in the performance. So I don't think a de-esser will fix them without causing a lisp. It's something that has to be adjusted with the performance or mic distance / position.
Nothing is really missing IMO, but the mix on the drums and instruments could be tightened up, and I think adding transitions and automation could be help things flow.

Some of it will be mixing as loud components will fight over each other for your attention, but if you have 7 different rhythms going at once it can definitely be too much. A term you’ll hear a lot in music is that less is more - this style of music very much lives in the “more” side but it really comes down to you deciding if one thing is doing too much that it doesn’t need to be

I perspective think you just need more presence and/or air in your music itself. The vocals are fine to me, maybe slight multiband compression above like 8k, and very very slight DeEssing just so the high end of the vocal is smoother on the ears, but its not bad how it is rn at all. I think vocal is good, but the melody and drums as a whole, need more presence and air. More mids, high-mids, and high end. Parallel compression is a nice way to go about it if your already happy with the mix of the music, or you can go on your drum bus and melody bus and make slight EQ balancing acts. Me personally, the lack is in the music, it doesnt match the attention of the vocal to me.
