SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:43 Min.
Actress-singer Lynda Carter released this single in late 2021. Though this power ballad doesn’t have any official connection to the 2020’s cinematic Wonder Woman 1984, one could easily construe from its lyrics that Carter (who appears in a mid-closing credits cameo) was inspired by the film.
REVIEW:
Bolstered by an epic-like melody, Lynda Carter nearly delivers an uplifting love song worthy of her famous Amazonian alter-ego.
The flip side is that some listeners may be rolling their eyes upon hearing how mushy and allegory-heavy the song’s lyrics actually are. More specifically, the poignant lyrics powering “Human and Devine” resemble a mythical love poem, as if the ballad seeks to invoke a Game of Thrones-style fantasy-romance novel, or, appropriately enough, Wonder Woman’s timeless romance with the mortal Steve Trevor.
Despite the song’s dubious lyrics, “Human and Divine” still delivers a welcome reminder of Lynda Carter’s vocal talents, and more importantly, her classiness.
