Bailey Perrie – No Main Character (2025)
Like small ripples to crashing waves, Bailey Perrie’s musical career is as powerful, exciting and “oh hell, that’s gonna make a splash”. This might be my introduction to the singer-songwriter, but Perrie has been turning heads internationally for years. With millions of streams on her Spotify and YouTube, she reaches far beyond her Australian borders garnering a strong armour of loyal followers. Join us as we delve into her latest single, ‘No Main Character’.
Following the critically acclaimed 2024 single, ‘You Know You Kinda Like It’, award-winning Perrie brings a rush of hard-hitting music to our ears. Produced by Simon Giles, ‘No Main Character’ acts like a sonic whirlpool engulfing you in a kaleidoscopic wall of sound. Tossing you from pillar to post with music rushing past your ears, frenzied chaos exists with each chord. Yet, as much as the rambunctiousness sends you twirling, Perrie’s vocals hold your hand joining you with a big grin.
Sprinkling magic production fairy dust across the melody, ‘No Main Character’ is a symphony of soaring guitars and crashing drums, joined by horns and shimmering piano adding an eclectic bind of contemporary and classical tones. Surging with powerful pop tones, but lacing the track with hard-hitting pop-rock, Perrie simultaneously sends sugary-sweet and cheeky grit down your spine.
Melodically, ‘No Main Character’ is a song to be experienced instead of merely heard; however, it is the lyricism and theme that brings vivid vibrancy to the song. Delving into the complexities of self-worth, ‘No Main Character’ “…dwells on the feeling of being a background character in one’s own life, breaking into a raw and relatable anthem about finding your voice, owning your space, and stepping into the spotlight… it shows that you can find power from what feels like weakness…”
In addition to the single, Bailey Perrie joined forces with Beau Whately in her music video for ‘No Main Character’. You can view the video below and on her YouTube channel.
