Always Tomorrow

"Always Tomorrow" is a single by American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan. It was released worldwide in October 1992 as the first single from her fourth solo album, Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits. It is an adult contemporary, guitar-driven acoustic ballad about starting over in the wake of tragedy or disaster. While on tour, Estefan has played the guitar while singing the song. The video of the song is one of Estefan's simplest clips, focusing on how the victims of Hurricane Andrew rebuilt Miami. Estefan donated royalties from single sales to the hurricane victims. In 2005, the song was featured in a medley with her No. 1 smash "Coming Out of the Dark" in the compilation "Hurricane Relief: Come Together now", created for Hurricane Katrina relief.

Critical reception

Billboard described the song as a "earnest, thoughtful ballad" and noted further that Estefan's "warm and distinctive alto floats lightly over an arrangement of acoustic guitar strumming and soft, swirling strings."[1]
