Olivia Newton‐John

Olivia Newton‐John is a solo artist associated with Australia whose catalog here spans 1986–2006. The artist is connected with Pop and Swing, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Pop and Swing shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Don’t Throw It All Away”, “It’ll Be Me”, “Pony Ride”, “Smile for Me”. Then move to “Come On Over / Clearly Love” and “Indigo: Women of Song” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
