The debut release from ‘The Wren’ is a heart wrenching and emotional journey told from the Los Angeles based folk pop artist. With just a simple acoustic melody and minimal arrangement, she starts to build the song as the chorus first comes into something larger and more cinematic in scale and feeling. It’s all part of this larger narrative that comes together through the lyrics and a beautifully cinematic string section that adds such a deeply melancholic and morose touch to it all. By the song’s final few seconds, it hits this pained emotional crescendo without a word needing to be said.
Almost feeling too short in length, it doesn’t waste a moment to deliver what it needs to. You’re wrapped in the story, immersed in the message, and left feeling a sense of catharsis as the strings give it the necessary crescendo. A poignant piece of acoustic folk pop from an artist who has bundles more to offer without a doubt.
