Olivia has released a new song with daughter Chloe, "The Window in the Wall." Fitting for the current times. Video follows press release. www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/01/22/2162889/0/en/Olivia-Newton-John-Daughter-Chloe-Lattanzi-to-Release-Window-in-the-Wall-an-Anthem-to-Unify-Heal-on-Greenhill-Records-Friday-January-22-2021.htmlOlivia Newton-John & Daughter Chloe Lattanzi to Release “Window in the Wall” – an Anthem to Unify & Heal - on Greenhill Records Friday, January 22, 2021January 22, 2021 OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN & DAUGHTER CHLOE LATTANZI TO RELEASE “WINDOW IN THE WALL” – AN ANTHEM TO UNIFY & HEAL - ON GREENHILL RECORDS FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 2021 LAS VEGAS, Jan. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Four-time Grammy Award-winner Olivia Newton-John and her daughter, singer/songwriter Chloe Lattanzi will release their new duet, “Window in the Wall,” an anthem aimed to unify and heal during these unprecedented times in the world, on Green Hill Productions a subsidiary of Primary Wave, Friday, January 22, 2021. “I’ve always enjoyed singing duets more than singing on my own and when I first heard this song, I knew immediately that I wanted to sing it with my daughter Chloe,” says Newton-John. “The lyrics and melody really resonated with me and I hoped Chloe would feel the same way – and luckily she did!” Produced by six-time Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb, “Window in the Wall” is not the first time this mother/daughter team has hit the recording studio. Their debut single, “You Have to Believe,” a remake of Newton-John’s #1 single “Magic” from Xanadu, with additional lyrics by Lattanzi, was released in 2015 and reached #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart. “There is always something special about singing with my daughter,” adds Newton-John. “She not only has a gorgeous voice, she’s an amazing musician with tremendous instincts as a singer.” As the world is in the midst of so much chaos and turbulence, Newton-John and Lattanzi really connected with the song and its message of hope, love and understanding: Has this world forgotten how to love? Are we blinded by the hate we let inside? No one giving in or giving up The lines are drawn and there’s no compromise This isn’t who we are It’s time for us to start… Looking for a window in the wall Maybe we can see the other side And find we’re not so different after all Looking for a window in the wall “When my mom played the song for me I knew I wanted to record it, not only because it was with my mom but, I felt the lyrics and message might help people see things from another perspective,” says Lattanzi. “We are all part of the same human race and if we listen to each other, respect each other and love each other - for both our likenesses and our differences - we might just understand each other a lot more.” “Olivia and Chloe do a masterful job in delivering this special song with a genuine sincerity,” says Blake Davis, General Manager of Green Hill Productions. “I think it will not only strike a chord with Olivia and Chloe fans but touch a wide array of people who need to hear a message like this right now.” Written by Tom Paden, Eddie Kilgallon and Tajci Cameron, “Window in the Wall,” will be available on Green Hill Productions, Friday, January 22, 2021, on all digital music platforms.

Great to have new music from ONJ. I was hopeful that licensing the masters she owns a few months ago was being done in advance of a new project and fixing her underutilized catalog. It's a huge mess on all platforms. Just in time for 40th Anniversary of Physical.

Looks like this Olivia will remain the longest reigning Olivia in Hot 100 chart history:
* Olivia Newton-John "Physical" - 10 Weeks * Olivia "Candy Shop" - 9 weeks * Olivia Rodrigo "Driver's License" - 8 weeks

Her Physical album is getting a pretty solid 40th anniversary deluxe edition. From what I understand, this is start of a pretty extensive re-issue campaign of her discography. Tracklisting and deets here.

'Physical (Deluxe Edition)' finally released on streaming/digital. The bonus tracks are a gift covering the GHV2 and TOAK Olivia tracks with single remixes/edits as well as 12" singles. The project looks great with the CD/DVDs and vinyls coming during the next few months.
Let's hope they at least get 3 of her most significant singles (LMBT, IFLMLMK and IHLY) back on streaming/digital soon until those albums get cleared. Strange those early albums are unavailable.

As I posted in the news section, such a class act. Just a lovely person. I've been a fan since my pre-kindergarten years in the late '70s. Was very thankful to have the opportunity to interview and write about her, and meet her after decades of being a fan.
She was such a hitmaker in her prime, too. Unfortunate that it will take her passing for some to get acquainted with her outside of Grease.

As a kid I still remember her seeing her for the first time in Grease and even then I remember being fascinated by her beauty, her voice AND the red heels and the black tight pants! :) And I was like 6 years old! I followed her hits during the 80s. So many songs I loved. Sweet brave and talented woman.

Hope it is okay to post this here. When a music legend dies, it moves from the nostalgia category to a current event. I propose this song to be Olivia’s posthumous Top 40 hit. “No Matter What You Do” from 1994’s Gaia Album. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bbOwi3Y2F-s

The "Grease" soundtrack especially.

A U.S. certs update for Grease would be nice, though at this point, it would b a surprise. Olivia did sue Universal Music Group over royalties, saying they withheld $1 million+ in royalties. A settlement was reached thereafter.

Unfortunate that it will take her passing for some to get acquainted with her outside of Grease. I was a casual fan. “Twist Of Fate” was part of my childhood introduction to pop music and it will always trigger nostalgic memories when I hear it. Since she wasn’t a dance diva and largely disappeared from the Hot 100 in the mid to late 80’s, her music wasn’t the soundtrack to my life. With that said, her passing definitely felt like a punch in the gut and made me dig a little deeper into her catalog and discover gems like “A Little More Love,” “Soul Kiss,” and the Elton John collab “The Rumour” (a delicious slice of 80’s pop with a very fun music video that should have been a bigger hit.) I will miss her.

I was able to get the 40th anniversary of Physical on vinyl from Target. It's bright pink and also has a poster.

^I got that, too, recently. haven't opened it yet.
KLT- most of her hits are pure delights. You'll also find good stuff among non-singles- her voice, so angelic.

Netflix's new series The Watcher uses a haunting version of "Hopelessly Devoted to You" in its trailer, and the song also apparently features in the show. Revival incoming? 🙂

Am I the only one still looking for her underrated bop “I Need Love”…. Why isn’t it on streaming services? I have the cassette single, but I’m not pulling it out of a box just to listen to it…. I would think labels would stick everything on services to make a buck???? Or a few cents since it wasn’t a big hit…
