On her quietly powerful 2017 record Thx, songwriter Hannah Read gazed at the vast Texas sky, lonesome highways, and desolate parking lots while she searched for connection to the world around her. Three years later, Read, who performs under the name Lomelda, is still forging her own path forward. On “Wonder,” the first single off her upcoming record Hannah, she focuses on perseverance. The arrangement is straightforward—assertive drums, a medley of guitars—but Read imbues this foundation with emotion as she repeats the refrain, “When you get it give it all you got you said.” As her distinct warble soars and intensifies, she offers encouragement in the face of uncertainty, reminding someone—or perhaps herself—that, “You got a lot/Give it your all.” Read has said that the song is about “working hard,” but it sounds like a gentle push towards a better version of oneself.
