Now in a Minute

Classically trained, ex-music teacher Donna Lewis made a major impact in the pop world with her 1996 hit "I Love You Always Forever." The track, from the Welsh singer's debut release Now in a Minute, was inspired by an H.E. Bates novel and spent over two months at number two on the American charts. There's nothing else nearly as compelling on the album, although there is a handful of other solid tracks like the hypnotic "Nothing Ever Changes" and the dreamy "Simone." Lewis has a girlish voice that sounds like a less quirky Kate Bush. The music, played by studio musicians and produced by Lewis with Kevin Killen, has a high-sheen, glossy feel that contradicts the somewhat personal nature of the lyrics. The one song that escapes the overproduction is the lovely piano ballad "Silent World," which closes the record and hints what might have been. 

1973年出生于英国威尔士的Donna Lewis，父亲是个爵士钢琴师，她从小便创作音乐演奏乐器，毕业于音乐学院受过扎实的古典乐训练，本身也是个音乐教师，无论唱作俱佳，1996年春天推出Atlantic唱片旗下的第一张专辑〔Now In A Minute 〕，除了一首歌外全部是她个人的作品，也跟另一位制作人担起制作大任。
