A rousing rocker from The Missing Diamonds, “Little Wonder” exudes a sweltering bluesy character in its traversal from pulsing guitar entrancement into heavier distortion and multi-layered vocal enthusiasm. The UK-based band thoroughly impress with this single, which marks their debut. Comprising noted songwriters from Burton-on-Trent’s music scene, The Missing Diamonds show a clear ability to craft an invigorating rock sound on this standout first release.
Distant-sounding guitars and steady strums build quickly into a feverish blast of heavier rock ardor. “Rain doesn’t fall from my sky,” an empowering ethos exudes, building into a title-touting central chorus with impassioned savvy, showing shades of The Black Keys. “I’ve got no grudge to bear,” the debonair sentiments continue, delivering a sense of personal power in the face of doubters. The “I fell in love with a little wonder” central hook stirs, as does the “nah-nah” peppy vocal repetition in the subsequent bridge. “Little Wonder” is an electrifying success of a debut from The Missing Diamonds.
