Hotel Sessions was first available at Summer Nights, Newton-John's nineteenth concert tour. Physical copies were later available from her official website, together with digital download versions at online shops. The EP is dedicated to Rona Newton-John, Olivia's sister and Brett Goldsmith's mother, who passed on in 2013.

Background and development

The songs featured on Hotel Sessions were recorded over a period of nine years, at hotel rooms which Newton-John stayed during her concert tours. All five songs were produced by Brett Goldsmith, her nephew. Goldsmith previously released a version of "Ordinary Life" on his YouTube account in 2008.[1] Long before Hotel Sessions was released, he also leaked Newton-John's recordings of "Best of My Love", a demo which features a different production of the final track, a Mr. Mister cover "Broken Wings". "Bow River" is another cover song, originally released by Australian band Cold Chisel. Hotel Sessions also features dances remixes of "Broken Wings" and "Best of My Love", made by remixer DayBeat.[2]

Credits and personnel

Credits adapted from the album's liner notes.[3]

gollark: The UK seems to plan to reopen them, because of people somehow insisting that it would be horribly immoral for people to not do school for a while?
gollark: My school still hasn't really explained what they plan to do to reopen safely, and the term starts in about 2.5 weeks.
gollark: I mean, in lots of cases big companies actually *don't* have enough money to, say, cover several months of zero revenue.
gollark: Expensive yes, but "damaging for space"? Who cares? Besides, there are ridiculous amounts of asteroids.
gollark: That's *something*, I guess.
