SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:27 Min.
Upon departing 10,000 Maniacs, lead vocalist Natalie Merchant composed her own album and launched her solo debut with 1995’s Tigerlily. This soft rock track, along with “Carnival” and “Jealousy,” were radio hits and inspired MTV music videos, solidifying Merchant’s viability as an individual headliner.
REVIEW:
Outstanding! Exuding feminine empowerment, Natalie Merchant’s upbeat homage to the magic of womanhood is an undeniable gem. Its gleam is shared between a rollicking melody and Merchant’s insightfully poetic lyrics. The classy “Wonder” absolutely deserves a spot on any ‘90s soft rock playlists. It’s certainly an ideal advertisement for Tigerlily.
