Totally Cool !

Review Score: (8/10)
Olivia is one of those extremely rare and truly talented ladies to survive the 70's disco period like Donna Summer. However, Olivia Newton-John was never "disco" to begin with. I'm amazed that while some of her later efforts were not smash hits (Soul Kiss anyone?) she is still able to overcome production obstacles or lackluster material through the sheer clean power of her silk & satin vocals !

On Totally Hot the styles of material range from pop-rock,semi-country, to slow love balladry. There are hints and traces of R & B but nothing really emerges (Little More Love)to full blown Motown sound.A pity because she does have the vocal ability to belt out with the soul tunes.The only quirk I found with the release are her screeching high notes ( I thought it was a saxophone at first),which she holds for a while, towards the end of Please Don't Keep Me Waiting.But hey, what's a little screeching in comparison to the rest of the finesse she offers. This album was totally and truly amazing for 1978 (during her Grease period, no less)!...
