having been a fan of olivias since the very begginning i was a little nervous about this album.to me olivia needs to record a true pop/dance album with more tracks like a little more love xanadu or no matter what you do. on listening to this album i have to say that its fantastic.olivias vocal range is stunning.there isnt 1 bad track on this album.vocally olivia has proved she can give ms streisand some competition.her rendition of send in the clowns beats streisands hands down.but the highlight for me is summertime. this was a song i never liked but listening to olivia has changed my mind.
my honest opinion was there were to many artists doing cover albums of this nature micheal buble rod stewart etc.
the choice of tracks is flawless and the fantastic production by phil ramone have me hoping for indigo vol 2.if rod stewart can have 3 volumes im sure olivia can have at least 2.for personal reasons this album isnt my no1 olivia album that honour goes to gaia a really personal album but it does get joint no2 with totally hot. i hope this album marks return to the charts for olivia as i beleive she truly deserves to be there .shes been away too long not that she hasnt had albums out but they have been poorly marketed and promoted.with the success of the definitve collection and hopefully indigo perhaps universal will consider remastering her entire back catalogue which has never been available in uk except on import . festival did a great job in australia.
all in all a fine example of olivias vocal talent indigo is a must have.this is definately my album of the year

Olivia's tribute CD to the female singers that have inspired her, is an inspirational album itself.
Her voice still has the magic and range to make these songs sound fresh, and her delivery is on the mark every time.
My favourite is Send In The Clowns and Alfie. She sings with great conviction, and her version of Rainy Days and Mondays is a lovely tribute to Karen Carpenter.
A delightful album from start to finish, great songs, great production, great musicians sung by a great singer.

What a fantastic way to come back onto the music scene after Olivia's 1998 album Back with a Heart. At Christmas the release of The Defintive Collection was a massive success and proves Olivia has a large fan base still in the UK.
Indigo focus's on songs that Olivia was inspired by and the artists that recorded them. Olivia's vocals seam to be improving all the time. These tracks compliment her voice which she just carry's off no question.
Very easy listing, jazzy, cool, releaxed, Olivia at her best!
It looks as though this album is going to be a big success, selling extremly well online and bound to when it hits the shops on Monday.
Olivia hasnt't toured England since 1978, so its well overdue for her to perform in concert over here, perhaps and lets hope this will encourage her to come over and do some UK concert dates!
This im sure will be a hit, and a favourite in many a stereo this year.

Best Yet
I have heard a lot of negative coments about Olivia`s voice on this album, I feel it is her best yet, a return to how simple she used to sing from her first to pre-Grease.

Good intention... Bad album.
