Wonder Ihieri doesn’t subscribe to any particular genre with his music, and instead fuses elements of pop, R&B, and rock, in order to channel and express his faith, and share his message, in a style he describes as Alternative Christian. Wonder believes in the power of music as a form of worship, and considers it way to broaden your understanding of God, and faith.<\/p>\n
‘Elevation’ contains four tracks, covering themes of love, belief and empowerment and looking outside of yourself. Speaking about the EP, Wonder Ihieri said,<\/p>\n
\n“The EP is named ‘Elevation’ because it is aimed at taking people and keeping them in a higher state of mind.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Opening with the title track, Wonder Ihieri enlists a stream of consciousness style of singing, set against a light electronic and synth instrumental. This is followed by ‘Peter’s Heart’, a piano-led track which serves as a beautiful showcase of Wonder’s considerable vocal talent. ‘Holy Spirit’, the third track on the EP, is an emotive track which feels as much like a prayer as a song – it’s deeply personal and heartfelt. Final track, ‘Greatest Love’, is the most upbeat track, with a guitar accompanying Wonder’s sweet vocals as he makes his declaration of faith in Christ.<\/p>\n
