Its not bad, but I did have to concentrate a little more than I normally would to understand the lyrics. But your definitely close, keep working on it!

Accents can give lyrics and melody a different dynamic, as oppose to an "American" accent I guess. For example, I tend to like singers (singing in English) that have a Swedish or a British accent.

Personally, work on your enunciation but at the same time make sure you dont stray away from your accent.

He's right, don't stray away from your accent, although work on your pronunciation, sometimes it's hard to understand.
But remember, don't work on getting rid on your accent, it will make your band more exotic.

You guys are great! Cool tunes and a catchy name.

The music is universal and you've got a good band there. Don't worry too much about the pronunciation.

Very good song. Very good voice. It was hard to understand the lyrics, but most new pop songs are hard to understand even with native English speakers. Maybe you should own the song and sing it in your native tongue and concentrate only on one English refrain or "hook." It has worked in the past.

I agree with what the others have said. Just be yourself and the voice will flow into the music.
