Now and Always: 20 Years of Dreaming

Now and Always: 20 Years of Dreaming is a compilation album by English recording artist Gabrielle. It was released on 18 November 2013 through Island Records to coincide with the release of her debut single, "Dreams", twenty years ago.

Mason, Naughty Boy, Syience as well as J. Hirst and J. Dunne and songwriter Emeli Sandé.
