Soul Kiss videogram review
Review
Olivia Newton-John: Soul Kiss Videosingles. Polygram 041 425 2. Dealer price £6.95. Running time 20 minutes.
Tracklisting: Soul Kiss, Culture Shock, Emotional Triangle, Toughen Up, The Right Moment.
Comment: Tied in with ONJ’s recent Soul Kiss LP, with David Mallet direction, this is interesting in flashes rather than continually. Mainly to blame are the songs, which do not seem to include anything outstanding enough, despite the introductions to each section performed by the lady herself.
The title track is the best video, mingling flashes of Olivia looking sultry (fair enough), having a bath with a fully clothed chap, and black and white clips from some emotionally disturbing movie, while Culture shock indicates a move towards the Pat Benatar market.
Sales forecast: As the LP wasn’t much of a hit, there is little reason to suppose its video equivalent will perform any better.
