About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Donna Summer sounds younger here than on her previous studio album, 1991's Mistaken Identity, or just about any of the isolated tracks that surfaced throughout the previous 17 years, which is a good thing as frequently as it is a bad thing. Crayons benefits from Summer's effortless energy; she was clearly into making this album, and her voice is as able and flexible as ever. However, almost all of the material with which she has to work -- several stylistic angles are taken with the likes of Danielle Brisebois (Natasha Bedingfield, Kelly Clarkson) Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Nelly Furtado), J.R. Rotem (Leona Lewis, Trey Songz), and several others -- would make more sense on an album by a female teen pop group from the U.K. or, in some cases, a young adult catering to the coffeehouse market. One exception, if only from a lyrical standpoint, is "The Queen Is Back," where Summer refers to herself in the third person, as well as her past: "So many years ago on the radio/She crept into your soul and learned to love you." But it's really the type of move you'd expect from an aspiring diva on her second or third album. In-fashion vocal effects, which Summer certainly does not need, detract from a handful of these tracks, but as a whole, the album won't have trouble pleasing fans who just want to hear their queen have a blast and tear it up.

July 08, 2008: This new album is just awesome! It is hip with lots of energy in her voice as always. I actually like all the songs on her new album. And I hope there is a 6th grammy coming. Also, I think the track, &amp quot Slide Over Backward&amp quot is a great example of her talent as a vocalist.

July 07, 2008: I was at her first show of the Crayons tour in Vienna Virginia and was blown away!! An incredible concert from a true artist! While Crayons is the must have CD for 2008, to see Ms. Summer on stage performing songs from Crayons as well as her hits from the past, was a moment in time I will not soon forget. Thank you Ms. Summer for returning and taking back what has always been rightfully yours.....the crown!
