Tottie Goldsmith has shared an emotional tribute to her late aunt Olivia Newton-John to mark the two-year anniversary of her death.
Liona Boyd Shares Canadian Summer Dreams With Olivia Newton-John
Liona Boyd and Olivia Newton-John head back to the cottage in the new version of their summery single and video Summer Dreams — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Nostalgia has a poignant way of folding in upon itself. That’s what’s happened with Summer Dreams, the 2013 duet between Canadian guitar icon Boyd and Australian pop superstar Newton-John. When it was first released, the song was a simple, heartfelt ode to weekend vacations past. Now that it’s been rereleased in a remixed and updated production, the record has taken on the extra dimension of a moving tribute to a friendship not even death could dim.
“Back in 2013, I asked my dear girlfriend of many years, the late Olivia Newton-John, to be my guest on a song for an album I was releasing that year,” Boyd says. “She happily agreed, and I flew down with my producer, Peter Bond, to record her near her home in Jupiter, Florida. It was a great experience. In 2013, she was absolutely at the top of her game vocally, and the entire session lasted little more than an hour. At the end, Olivia did some improvising that was so beautiful it gave us both goosebumps.”
