Wikipedia article"'Forever More'" is a song by American singer Puff Johnson, released on April 30, 1996 as the first single from her only studio album, 'Miracle' (1996). The ballad was written by Johnson along with Sally Jo Dakota and Narada Michael Walden, while production was helmed by the latter, with Louis Biancaniello credited as associate producer. Critical receptionBritish magazine 'Music Week' rated the song four out of five, writing, "Columbia's smooth soul diva follows up her huge Over & Over with another seductive, Whitney-esque smoocher, which she penned with Narada Michael Walden and Jermaine Dupri. Radio will lap it up." Editor Alan Jones commented, "Puff Johnson is a fine vocalist, rather like Whitney Houston without the frills, and this image is even more strongly evoked by Puff's majestic new single Forever More, which was co-authored by Narada Michael Walden, architect of many of Whitney's early career triumphs. It is a sonically soothing and memorable R&B ballad, lovingly embraced by Puff's tender vocals. It's one of those records that could hang around for a long time." Chart performanceIn the United States, "Forever More" peaked at number 63 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, number 31 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number 22 on the Rhythmic Songs chart. "Forever More" charted the highest in New Zealand, where it peaked at number five on the New Zealand Singles Chart. Elsewhere, the song became a top-30 hit in both Australia and the United Kingdom, peaking at number 29 in both countries. It also charted in the Netherlands, peaking at number 91. Music videoThe song's accompanying music video was directed by Greg Masuak. On his website, Masuak writes that the video was heavily edited to become a strictly African-American love story, although it was intended to be a multi-racial tribute to love. In parts of the music video, Puff is seeing playing with an elephant.
