Chxrry Embraces Her Era with Bold Main Character Visuals
Chxrry
Toronto-born singer Chxrry (formerly Chxrry22), XO Records’ first female signee, is fully immersed in her Main Character era—dropping a compelling new music video to her viral hit that is equal parts fashion-forward and fiercely confident.

Directed by fashion disruptor Mowalola Ogunlesi, making her music video debut, the clip unfolds over a 24-hour Vegas shoot in extreme heat—not that the scorching conditions faze anyone involved.

Visually, it’s an audacious display of self-affirmation: intimate close-ups of Chxrry engaging directly with the camera, interspersed with jaw-dropping choreography and high-fashion vignettes. The video crescendos with her strutting in a lineup of runway-ready ensembles, fully embracing the persona of a star in full control.

Main Character isn’t just a single anymore; it’s become a Gen-Z anthem, igniting creativity and remixes across TikTok and social media. The song has fueled over 17,000 TikTok creations already.

High-profile figures like Amaya Papaya, LaLa, Chloe Bailey, and WNBA star Angel Reese have all embraced the track visually or verbally, cementing its cultural reach.

On tour, Chxrry continues to shine, opening for FLO on their Access All Areas Tour and making a memorable appearance with Rema in Toronto. She also features on The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow project, both on the track Reflections Laughing and in the cinematic Cry For Me video.

Chxrry’s Main Character marks a cinematic declaration of arrival—an anthem, a moment, and a statement. Whether you’re drawn to the beat, the visuals, or the fashion, this era demands your attention.
