The confidence and honesty in "Main Character" by Mel Senese will empower you to make the right decisions for yourself. This track takes listeners into the speaker's rather specific situation of wanting to vacation in Nashville, but wanting to avoid stepping into another person's relationship genre. With bold and blatantly clear lyrics like "I could use a week and you're stepping on my vibe" shut down an attempt to commandeer the speaker's fun and free escape from life with problems that do not even concern her. With an inspiring message to not let other people's issues take away from your self-care time or your well-being, this track tells listeners to prioritize themselves.
Percussion and captivatingly charismatic vocals open the song, carrying the confidence of the lyrics in their tone. Mel's voice is deep and strong, moving into the chorus and loudly projecting over the sound of warm electric guitar. In the second verse, layered vocals punctuate the punchy points of the lyrics, making them hit that much harder with their exciting texture. Cool interludes of sound like the ticking of a clock after the word "time" make the style of this song playful alongside the boldness of its message. An electric guitar interlude picks up into the bridge before the chorus is played backed by simple acoustic strumming. Layered singing blends passionate belting and melodic vocals to end the track with power.
