Album Description
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).

 Well Worth the Wait! July 4, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This CD is such a huge treat after so many years away from the studio. It has a very fresh sound and, moreover, a very confident sound. Rather than rest on her laurels or return to formula in any way, Donna put together a very diverse collection of songs that allowed her to express herself very differently than in the past. The songs seem to be coming from within, rather than her gorgeous voice just mouthing words about someone or something outside her personal world. While I love to hear her belt one out, some of my favorite tracks on here go in the opposite direction. The title cut is a real stand-out, with Donna's intonations mirroring Ziggy Marley. Her voice is virtually unrecognizable on "Slide Over Backwards", but what a great song! "Stamp Your Feet" is a great anthem of empowerment. "Fame (The Game)" is probably the track that I've worn out... I keep hitting the replay button over and over... it's got a great electronic hook, and the lyrics are very smart. "Be Myself Again" is a great ballad and seems once again to be very autobiographical. I could go on about each of the songs, but suffice it to say that they all work as individuals, and together comprise a collection that is one of Donna's very best to date. I've always been a fan, and she's written and performed great material in the past, but this seems like the first time that every aspect of the package is coming from her. Can't wait for the next one!

I am in my fourties and an old Donna Summer's fan. The songs in this CD are great and I loved them. I strongly recommend this CD for everyone who loves Donna's music.
 Sand On My Feet. March 31, 2009

I'm not a Donna Summer fan ,but, after a year of hearing alot of hype about this new CD she had out I thought "why not?", so I snatched it. It's okay, it's not bad and it's not what I would call good. If you're going by what someone else tells you may not want to buy in to the hype. However, there's this one song I really like called "Sand On My Feet", Now that's a really good song and it suits her voice well, It also has really good lyrics. I've been playing it non-stop along with along with two other tracks called "Science Of Love" & "Mr. Music" which are two Fun-upbeat dance tracks that you can "Shake ya' Body" to. Overall the CD is not anything to write home about, I couldv'e done without it, but I do appreciate the three songs I mentioned, They're really good songs, Something new to add to the iPOD if you're bored with what's on it.
 Worst Donna Summer Album March 10, 2009
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Why would such a talented artist need to release such an album where she will act like she is twenty something? Okay, queen is back - but the lyrics made me wish she didn't. I mean, she is almost sixty years old and she doesn't need to sing such crappy reggaetonish tracks. I thought "Crayons" was full of disco/club hits like "I'm a Fire" but I got quite disappointed after purchasing this album. I wish she put more tracks like that - which would also glitter her diva persona in a more glimmering style. This is like a "Good Girl Gone Bad" album from a 60-year-old diva. Pointless.
DONNA SUMMERS IS BACK!!!! March 9, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am soooo glad to see Donna Summer is back with a new release after 17 years. And she has taken the Cher route and not the Vanessa Williams, Diana Ross route to make a comback. Vanessa and Diana made the mistake of making a collection of remakes for their comeback. Diana did have one new song on her's at least but still they were the same old songs sung countless times before. Cher with Believe made an awesome cd with completely new songs done in today's style and thankfully that is what Donna has done. Stamp Your Feet is her Believe. What an awesome dance song, Definitely the stand out on the cd. People can not believe that it is Donna Summer after all these years. I play that song all the time and loud in my car and have people asked me who is that? The other 11 songs are very good as well. The weakest song, ironically is Crayons, I just don't care for reggae music that much but is still ok. Donna will always be known for Last Dance and as a dance diva but she is sooooo much more. This cd brings her front and center after all these years and I am sooo glad it is selling well. A brand new younger generation, who may not be all that aware of her past achievements, will love this new collection and be introduced to Donna. So drop this cd in and enjoy the Return of Donna Summers with Crayons. It is a feel good, updated and awesome dance collection. This is the first new cd I have felt was worth purchasing in years!!!
