Newton-John leads big Australian invasion
Olivia Newton-John Totally Hot. EMI EMA 789. Producer: John Farrar.
What a great year it has been for Ms Newton-John, and it looks like she is going to cap it with a chart busting solo album too. Her latest LP offering is, as the title suggests, a departure from her previous rather sugary albums. Producer Farrar has moved the singer from country to rock, and it works well. Titles include A Little More Love, Borrowed Time, Boats Against The Current and the Spencer Davis oldie, Gimme Some Lovin’, which ought to be usuriously considered as Olivia’s next single. Her current UK concert appearances plus TV promotion for this, must ensure a strong chart placing for Totally Hot.
