Album of the Day

Welsh-born singer-songwriter Donna Lewis studied piano and flute composition and spent time teaching music before embarking on a performing career, and that background lends a sophisticated air to her debut album, NOW IN A MINUTE. Cut in New York City and Birmingham, England, with co-producer Kevin Killen, the Atlantic collection is best known for “I Love You Always Forever,” a Top 10 single that broke the record for airplay with more than a million spins on U.S. radio. But the set has much more to offer beyond that; such tracks as “Nothing Ever Changes,” “Mother” and “Silent World” pair introspective lyrics with a dreamy pop-classical sensibility and top-notch instrumental accompaniment. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, the platinum-certified NOW IN A MINUTE announced the arrival of a true talent and earned Donna Lewis a Brit Award nomination for British Female Solo Artist.
