Annie Zaleski remembered the music of Olivia Newton-John at the Oxford American.
“I’m not a power singer but more of an interpretive one,” Newton-John wrote. That certainly became obvious when you compared her to contemporaries like Barbra Streisand or Anne Murray, both of whom belted out hits like they were on a grand stage; instead of nuance, they preferred more direct deliveries. But Newton-John’s self-assessment undersells the fact that her interpretive gifts possess immense power; much like Karen Carpenter—who was also a vocalist who exuded quiet strength as she sang—Newton-John dug deep into and empathized with the emotional core of a song.
Zaleski also shared her thoughts on the 30th anniversary of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" hitting the Billboard modern rock chart.
