Olivia Newton-John has just followed in Agnetha Fältskog's footsteps by recording a new studio album dedicated to songs that hold a special meaning to her.

Indigo - Women of Song features her interpretation of Cilla's classic Bacharach tune Alfie and Anyone Who Had A Heart as well as other songs like Karen Carpenter's Rainy Days and Mondays.

"In 1964, Cilla Black released this amazing Bacharach/David song. I couldn't believe how she could use her voice both gently and powerfully. She was, and still is, unique! I sang this song in the finals of a talent contest on an Australian TV show called Sing, Sing, Sing in 1964. I won, so this song is very important to me because the prize was a trip by ship to London which I took in 1966." - Olivia Newton-John
