Music reviews of Grace and Gratitude Renewed

Music Review: Grace And Gratitude Rehashed!
Rating: 4 Stars

Quite why Olivia Newton-John has re-recorded parts of the original G&G and now reissued it 4 years later is beyond me. It didn't sell the first time and by the looks of the first two week's sales of this new edition, that hasn't changed and the album has come nowhere near the Billboard top 200. Of course, dear O is far too busy pushing ridiculously expensive 'healthy' fruit drinks to bother promoting the CD. I find it quite sad to think that's she's made more trips to England in the last year than she did in the previous ten and hasn't sung a note on any of them. It's all about the 'Zamu'...


Now, G&G is one of the best Olivia albums of the past 20 years. That does sound quite promising but you should bear in mind that the majority of the others have been utter rubbish! Cheaply produced, quickly recorded, half-hearted efforts in a variety of ill-fitting styles, often hard to obtain being as she hasn't had a decent record contract in years, you have to hunt down whatever burger van she's selling her latest CD from!

The original G&G does at least sound nice. You'd have to be quite thick to take the lyrics seriously, of course. It's all a load of nonsense as titles like 'Learn To Love Yourself', 'Let Go, Let God' and 'The Power Of Now' will testify. I forgave that as Olivia and the real world have seldom connected. Her whole career has been based on an illusion, after all, and it's one she's happy to support.

But G&G 2006 was a good album, beautifully executed and Olivia's voice is superb throughout. So why revamp an album that flopped and then not bother to promote the reissue? Those questions only the lovely O can answer, but from where I stand, the new version is a pointless exercise...

None of the re-recorded tracks add anything. The sole new song, 'Help Me To Heal' is a drudgy, faux-gospel ballad than she's sounds uncomfortable with and Amy Sky continues her dastardly plan to take over every Olivia album! I confess I don't understand Olivia's devotion to Sky. Her bleating, droning voice is all over this album and she's even secured a duet this time, a worthless new version of the admittedly lame 'I Will Lift Up My Eyes'. I do find it worrying that Sky is afforded greater input on every subsequent ONJ album. Olivia, it's time for a shake up and on this album, the Sky really is the limit!

I've given this album four stars as it remains a soothing, gentle bunch of songs that, as I said before, far surpasses anything O has done for years, but it is time for a change. Olivia seems to think of her fans as all needing help and healing and speaking as one such fan, Olivia, we're all fine! We just want something a bit more current and upbeat! And without Amy Sky!

One final thought, Olivia should have serious words with her over-zealous photoshop team who are desperate to morph her into a 15 year old Cameron Diaz lookalike. And Olivia, what's with the Julia Roberts' lips? I know you've NEVER had surgery and remain totally natural and untouched by a scapel, so perhaps it's some sort of allergy to the Zamu? It certainly bears watching...

Description of Grace and Gratitude Renewed

Oliva Newton-John's Grace and Gratitude is inspired by her belief that music has the power to heal by calming our minds, lifting our spirits and connecting to our hearts. Named for Olivia's appreciation of the gift of life, Grace and Gratitude contains over 20 tracks intended for relaxation and healing. As an eighteen-year breast cancer "thriver," Olivia has learned the importance of physical and emotional health, and especially the power of music. Research has shown that music can lower stress hormones, slow down brain waves and actually boost the body's own healing process.

Co-written by the album's producer, Amy Sky, the lyrics acknowledge a variety of belief systems including, Tibetan chants, prayers from Judaism and Islam, and a poem from St. Francis of Assisi. Together, Olivia and Amy took the chakras of the body as the basis for each song on the CD. Each chakra is connected to a sacred truth that reflects your psychological, emotional and spiritual well-being.

"Music connects with the spirit and the heart and it was my realization of this that inspired me to create this CD," says Olivia Newton-John. "It is important to calm your mind and connect with your heart to find harmony and balance. Music always helped me in my healing and now it is my hope that it inspires healing in others."
