The "3 Roles" blueprint

Every part of a song needs a role.

Some elements are meant to lead.

Some are meant to support.

And some should not be there at all.

That is one of the fastest ways to make a record feel clearer.

When every sound tries to be the main character, the listener has to work too hard.

But when the roles are clear, the song starts to pull you in.

Lead. Support. Silence.

That simple.
