Olivia churned out album after album through out the 70’s, but Clearly love stands out with its simple catchy melodies and Olivia’s pure voice. The songs on this album are great to sing along to and, while they all represent her 70’s style, they do so by covering a wide range of genres, such as the jazzy, blues-like Something Better to Do, the optimistic anthem Let it Shine, the poppy Slow Down Jackson, and the emotional cover of He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. By far, the most moving performance on the album is the somber Just a Lot of Folk--this song displays her ability to filter emotions into lyrics. How many singers can take lyrics that include the word ˝marshmallow˝ and still move the listener to tears? On that note, however, I could have done without the cover of Summertime Blues. That being said...this album is CLEARLY one of her best---put it in on a rainy day and simply ˝Let it Shine.˝
