Celebrated contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Michael W. Smith's 22nd studio album features 12 original cuts, all of which hold true to the Dove Award-winning artist's penchant for crafting accessible and heartfelt faith-based songs with strong melodies. Front-loaded with the catchy singles "Save Me from Myself" and "Take My Breath Away," Wonder never strays too far from Smith's usual blend of folk-infused pop/rock and '80s-inspired bombast, but with three decades under his belt, he has certainly learned how to make it sound effortless. ~ James Christopher Monger
