Laura Brehm’s video for “Wonder” as directed and choreographed by Alexandra Light is like something out of a futuristic fantasy graphic novel written by Tillie Walden. It has that vast sense of space, fine emotional nuance and mystique as Brehm wanders in spaces of colossal architecture, in meadows with companion dancers in white, floating in water moving in slow motion, in a ballet studio, the motion like a ritualistic analog to the ethereal flow of melody and the outwardly expansive flow of sound. The song seems to be about one of rediscovering the wonder of life after a period of healing from a trauma requiring her to suppress who she is and her spirit in order to weather that time. But the mood of the song is reconnecting with one’s true self and ready to move forward free to be and become who one was always meant to be. Think Björk making a transcendental dream pop song and you have an idea of the layers of electronic beats and sweeps of tone that help to put the focus on Brehm’s introspective and resonant vocals.
