Rich Clark from Detroit's Wayward Sparrow project starts things off with a self-titled "Wayward Sparrow" that is based on planned minimalism. Entirely self-crafted, the song strips everything back to let its message breathe. The sparse arrangement gives it a raw honesty, and each lyric feels written with purpose and without protection. Clark's songs say things that aren't said, drawing listeners into their quiet thoughts. "Wayward Sparrow" doesn't depend on grandeur, it finds strength in restraint, showing that sometimes the softest voices hold the most important truths.
