My thoughts on "white boy i sat next to on the plane" by Kiey

The indie vibe on this track is really captivating. There is a beautiful simplicity to the arrangement that allows the vocals to take center stage. I especially love how the voice has this fragile, vulnerable quality—it is the heart of the song and works perfectly within this minimalist setting. Additionally, the music video works really well with the track, capturing that same intimate and visual energy that the song evokes.

While the production fits the mood well, I have a few constructive notes to help the track evolve even further:
Arrangement & Dynamics

The song could benefit from a bit more growth and variation. For example, you could try dropping out some of the loops or certain elements during the second verse to create a sense of deeper intimacy, or conversely, adding a few more subtle layers as you build toward the climax. This would give the track a more intentional emotional arc.
Tone & Texture

Sonically, I really like the direction, but I think the overall mix could feel even more "expensive" with a warmer, "feathery" or "pillowy" quality.

Low-End Warmth: I’d suggest pushing the EQ slightly around 80–100Hz to give the bottom end a bit more support and "hug" the listener.

Tape Saturation: To achieve that vintage, soft-edged feel, using a tape emulation or a soft-clipper can help round off the transients and add harmonic warmth without making the mix feel muddy.

Overall, I really like this song; it has a very honest and raw character that is hard to fake. It’s a great piece of indie songwriting, and I’m looking forward to hearing more from Kiey.
