"I Never Felt Like This Before" is a song by British singer-songwriter Mica Paris. Released in March 1993 as the lead single from her third studio album, Whisper a Prayer (1993), it became her second top-20 hit on the UK Singles Chart and the highest-placing release from the album.
Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Together with Walden, Paris has "Americanised" her sound considerably. Now we all know who Whitney's main competitor will be." Head of music Clive Dickens at Chiltern Network/UK said, "This is a returning to form by Mica Paris, who always had a lot of credit here. Walden managed to get the very best out of her. It's an exceptional song that should have wide appeal. It should cross over from dance to hot ACE and EHR. It's a really great record to start the hour with."[3] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "sultry wailer".[4]
