Most love songs never age; they still feel as warm and immediate today as they did decades ago, proving that great melodies and feelings can outlast any trend. So in a time of fleeting viral moments, there is something truly special about an artist who honors that legacy, showing just how powerful a three-minute love song can still be today. Thats exactly what drew us to Iz Divine‘s music.
The Montana-born alt-R&B, pop, and soul singer-songwriter makes music rooted in identity and belonging. Her songs are full of heart and soul, with the widescreen drama of a film score. At its core, her music is about ownership: of your story, your power, and the life you were always meant to claim.
Iz Divine recently made a bold statement with “Who Do You Think You Are,” a big-band-inspired anthem that plays like a cross between Amy Winehouse, Christina Aguilera, and RAYE. The track earned widespread airplay across Europe, the U.S., and the UK. Now she returns with her most romantic release yet, “Wonder.”
Inside Iz Divine’s “Wonder”
“Wonder” is a tribute to the golden age of Hitsville USA. Sunny guitar lines and snappy finger clicks drive the track, while stacked harmonies swirl around Iz Divine’s smooth, soaring vocals. It’s soul music at heart with pop hooks built to stick, and it feels classic without ever sounding dated.
“I’ve always been inspired by the golden age of Motown, Hitsville USA, especially the songwriters and artists such as Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder, who make you fall in love in three minutes of pure musical magic,” she explains.
Iz Divine, Roseanna Brown, and Grammy-nominated songwriter Nick Veinoglou co-wrote the single. Jonathan Brown and Alex O’Keeffe handled production, and Darren Heelis, known for his work with Sam Smith, Sienna Spiro, and Alicia Keys, mastered the track. The result is a polished, radio-ready single that still carries the intimacy of a handwritten note.
At its heart, “Wonder” is about choosing joy and refusing to settle. Iz Divine describes the song as “romanticising the world around me and letting myself feel childlike joy and love.”
“Ultimately falling in love with someone you are destined to meet, before you’ve even met them,” she says. “Love is timeless. It’s about the wonder of finding your soulmate and refusing to settle for anything less than endless love.”
The accompanying music video carries that same spirit. “I wanted to bring that same feeling to life, visually inspired by those classic pop love songs,” Iz Divine shares. “‘Wonder’ is my Endless Love letter to that timeless Motown magic.”
Why Iz Divine Is an Artist to Watch
Iz Divine is already building real momentum. “Who Do You Think You Are” proved especially strong on the US WISM All Access chart and continues to climb French radio charts, while her string of singles has racked up multimillion streams.
What sets her apart, though, is her vision. Where many rising artists chase the sound of the moment, Iz Divine builds on the timeless foundations of soul and Motown and makes them her own. She can move from brassy, larger-than-life swagger to tender, starry-eyed romance, and both feel equally authentic.
At a time when women in music are too often pushed to the sidelines, Iz Divine claims center stage on her own terms and makes room for every listener to join her. Her sound is rich, bold, and completely her own. With “Wonder,” she proves she has the voice, the songwriting instincts, and the clear artistic identity needed to build a lasting career, making her an artist you’ll want on your radar right now.
