Donna Summer is ready to release her first brand new studio album of all new-material on May 20. She’s just signed a new contract with Sony BMG’s Burgundy Records for a new CD called “Crayons.” Summer helped define the 70’s pop music generation and “Crayons” will have all the characteristics that made Donna Summer an icon. “Crayons” will contain a mix of up-tempo tunes and ballads.
With this release, Donna Summer is working with a wide range of collaborators, including Danielle Brisebois, Greg Kurstin, JR Rotem, Lester Mendez and Evan Bogart (co-writer of Rihanna’s smash “SOS” and the son of legendary record executive and Donna’s mentor, Neil Bogart).
Donna describes the background of the title Crayons and the aesthetic of the album as "a menagerie of colors and styles, with hints of different ethnic traditions and sounds. My dream is that when people hear the music it will remind them of their youth, their childhood and the joy and wonderment they felt exploring their first pack of Crayons."
Remixes of the track "I'm A Fire" were serviced to U.S. clubs on February 16, and the first single, "Stamp Your Feet", is set for release in April 2008. Donna Summer's last album of completely new material was 1991's "Mistaken Identity" (Atlantic). Since then, she has released holiday and live albums, as well as 1996's "I'm a Rainbow," featuring tracks originally cut in 1981
Donna's long list of musical accomplishments include: 14 #1 Billboard singles, 12 Gold and Platinum singles, 5 Grammy Awards, 6 American Music Awards, 2 Double Platinum albums, 1 Platinum album, 8 Gold albums. Her song "Last Dance" won both Oscar and Golden Globe awards.
