This Welsh singer has a bright, breathy voice highlighted by a heart-tugging Celtic lilt. Her atmospheric, piano-driven pop sound, produced by Kevin (U2) Killen, is like a hybrid of the Corrs and Cranberries on the memorable lead single "I Love You Always Forever" (inspired by an H.E. Bates novel). The slightly edgier "Without Love" and the shimmering "Nothing Ever Changes" are other highlights. --Jeff Bateman

4.0 out of 5 stars Lewis sings like Lauren Bacall talks, October 16, 1999

By	Wes Saylors Jr. (Boone, North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wow! Donna Lewis' voice is the equivalent of being stared down on a bus by a beautiful woman to the point that you either look away or faint in a pool of your own sweat. It is hard to determine how much of the voice is hers and how much is tweaked by the studio process, but the result is sensuous and soulful. "I love you always forever" is the chart-topper, but "Without love" gets my marks for ear candy of the year. This album is ethereal and haunting, and terrific pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Donna Lewis is an angel sent from heaven, December 4, 2000

By	John P. Thompson (Saint Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Those are high words coming from me, an agnostic. Truely though, she has the voice of an angel. Her lyrics are from the heart and nothing "commercial". "Now In A Minute" is a breathtaking experience. Tracks that stand out besides the #2 hit "I Love You Always Forever" are...all of them infact. But there's a couple that are really really good. Like "Nothing Ever Changes" and "Fools Paradise". I could seriously listen to those 2 songs forever. "Now In A Minute", is a great debut album, better then her sophomore effort "Blue Planet", which is also very good. But if you're knew to Donna, I'd say start with "Now In A Minute"...the songs are easier to get into. I really can't wait for her 3rd album...I'm giddy at just thinking about it. I guarantee you, I'll be at the store the very first day to pick it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'll love this album "Always Forever"!, July 22, 1998

By	J. Trimm (Alabama USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of the best debut albums ever! Donna's sweet and carming voice can relax you or make you want to get up and dance! "Without Love" with it's fast steady beat is a great opening song! "Mother" is a beautiful blend of loving admiration and alternative pop! "I Love You Always Forever" is a soft, romantic love song, but with a cool dance beat! "Agenais," my favorite song on the album, is a soft delicate song about a fantasy land. It sort of reminded me of the planet Uriel in the book "A Wrinkle in Time." "Fool's Paradise" is a fast paced song about how love can sometimes be a burden. And "Silent World" is a touching song about dealing with death, but still holding on to the memories. This is a must have for any music fan!
