The King Like You’ve Never Heard Him Before

The Wonder of You is a stunning, genre-defying posthumous release that pairs Elvis Presley’s original vocals with lush, newly recorded orchestral arrangements by the legendary Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Recorded at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios, this 2016 album elevates The King’s most powerful ballads and fan favorites into symphonic masterpieces.

Backed by majestic strings and cinematic flourishes, this album reimagines Presley’s vocals with an emotional grandeur that he always dreamed of achieving. According to Priscilla Presley, “Elvis would have loved these performances.” A dream finally realized, this collection is the spiritual successor to 2015's blockbuster If I Can Dream and includes a unique duet with German pop icon Helene Fischer.
