Donna Lewis is a celebrated songwriter and vocalist known for her Billboard chart topping hit “I Love You, Always Forever.” Her new album Rooms With A View is a poignantly powerful chapter in Donna Lewis’ journey with breast cancer.
We chose the title track of the album for our review, a moving partnership between Donna Lewis and her son Archie Lewis-Harris, who lends his talents as a musician and film composer. “Rooms With A View” is a soul-striking tribute to the hands that help us heal. This beautiful song immerses you in an atmosphere of iridescent strings and breathless vocals that linger on the ear. Lewis sings, “The gentle hands, warm me up so there’s no pain.” Over subdued, reflective sonics, Lewis remembers the ever-changing nature of her battle with breast cancer and the caretakers who helped her along the way. Overall, the song is an effervescent window inside Donna Lewis’ experience and the small acts which made a world of difference in her recovery process.
Donna Lewis’ latest full-length project, crafted in collaboration with Holmes Ives, elevates her transformative experience. Through her music, Donna not only shares her own story, but also extends a hand of solidarity to others facing similar challenges, creating a work that resonates far beyond its musical merits.
