GRACE AND GRATITUDE - OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN
“Grace and Gratitude” has a purpose — the artist’s belief that music can boost the body’s healing processes. As a long-term breast cancer survivor, Newton-John aligned with Walgreens for the exclusive release of this set along with a line of breast health products. In collaboration with producer/writer Amy Sky, Newton-John puts her spin on diverse influences, from Tibetan chants and Islamic prayers to a Latin benediction. Not exactly “Heart Attack” or “Physical,” but Newton-John is soulfully committed to every word she sings, and fans will be taken by the plush arrangements, melodic warmth and the artist’s regal vocals. Among the 10 songs, “Pearls on a Chain,” “To Be Wanted” and “Let Go Let God” are as formidable as anything Newton-John catapulted to the single charts way back when. Billboard
