Grace and Gratitude is the twenty-first
studio album by Australian singer
Olivia Newton-John. The album was released 25 August 2006[1] through
EMI exclusively by
Walgreens to benefit various charities of cancer and re-released on 14 September 2010[2] through
Green Hill Records as Grace and Gratitude Renewed. A "pink" edition of the original album also was released in certain territories, with a two-track remix bonus CD.[3]
Singles
The album-closing track, "Instrument of Peace", was released as the album's lead single, peaking at No. 30 on the
Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
"Help Me to Heal" was released as single in 2010, promoting the Renewed re-release.[4]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine from
AllMusic gave the album a positive review, although he said: "It's easy to knock this for not exactly being compelling—it glides, it doesn't grab—but that's the whole point: this is meditative mood music and it's gauzily effective in that regard in either of its incarnations".[5]
The album was re-released as Grace and Gratitude Renewed on 14 September 2010, four years after the release of the original version. The new edition features new versions of tracks "To Be Wanted", "I Will Lift Up My Eyes" and "Instrument of Peace" with special guests, and also features two new tracks: "Todah" and the single "Help Me to Heal". The Japanese edition also includes the two remixes from the "Pink" edition.
