The Queen is Back! Legendary singer songwriter Donna Summer is back with her first studio album in 17 years. In the thirty plus years that Donna Summer has been making music she has never confined her artistry to just one genre. Although Donna is, and will always be, "The Queen Of Disco" to many fans, her hits have spanned multiple musical genres from Rock to R&B to Inspirational and of course, Dance.
Summer helped to define the 70's pop music generation and Crayons has all the characteristics that made Donna an icon. Containing a potent mix of the up-tempo tunes and ballads, the new album showcases incredible new material that is written by Donna (who wrote or co-wrote the majority of her hits of the 70's and 80's). Working with Donna were renowned writers and producers including: Greg Kurstin (Lilly Allen, Pink), Danielle Brisebois (Natasha Bedingfield, New Radicals), JR Rotem (Sean Kingston, Rihanna), Evan Bogart (co-writer of Rihanna's smash "SOS" and the son of legendary record executive, Casablanca Records founder and Donna's mentor, Neil Bogart), and Lester Mendez (Shakira, Santana).

I, like Donna, Tried.:
I tried soooo hard to like this new effort because of my love for Donna Summer. I played this over and over, not consistantly, but at different times to see if I would feel differently about it. Unfortunately, I could not. Crayons, the title track, is the best song off of the cd, in my opinion. I got a reminiscent glimpse of the old/new Donna on the verge of emerging. You know the one...? Solidifying her own style of music, phrasing and likability. Different, fun...you remember?. Driving down... more info
Just Buy It! It Rocks! No Doubt!:
As a blue blooded, "Mowtown" girl, 39 years old for several years now, this my new workout Album - no doubt. I was blown away by our girl Donna Summer who turns songs to gold just by her touch. Just buy it and dance your tush off!
awesome album:
This album is way beyond expectation. Summer is back to her peak form. It is a modern dance oriented album. It is not just for Summer fans. In fact it has very little like her disco era materials. Give this modern Summer a try.
