Juliana Hatfield | Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John
American Laundromat
According to Grant Walters: “This is the greatness of Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John: the depth and quality of the British-Australian chanteuse’s catalog linked with Hatfield’s indie-rock lens affectionately magnifying its versatility.
Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John captures appreciation in the purest sense of an artist who is generally underappreciated, and the lack of irony in Hatfield’s coverage is what makes it joyful to hear her relish the theatrical eccentricity of ‘Xanadu’ and the sweet sentimentality of ‘Please Mr. Please.’
If you’re a fan of Newton-John’s or Hatfield’s, there are plenty of reasons you’ll want to put this record on and bask in its thoughtfulness. If you’re not familiar with either but appreciate an intuitive, talented artist giving voice to a batch of compelling compositions, this album’s for you too.”
