Minutes is an album by British singer Elkie Brooks.

Background

Minutes was Brooks' first contemporary album since Live and Learn in 1979. A&M wanted her to stick to the winning formula of the Pearls albums, but Brooks had other ideas. She hired the producer and band to create what was an experimental album for the time, a mixture of pop tunes and dark 1980s rock. A&M had little faith in the album and withheld promotion, focusing on her forthcoming album, the more commercial Screen Gems.

Two singles were released but sold poorly. Brooks went on tour to increase sales, but by the time the tour began, A&M was ready to release her next album.
