 Rating: - A New VintageA fine wine can take years to reach it's best in the bottle. So too a fine voice. We have known that Ms Summer ( Nee Gaines ) has been in possession of such an instrument for some thirty years. An instrument always long on power but somewhat wanting in the emotional expression department. My last memory of her involves a somewhat drunken night in a New York bar of doubtful repute, dancing my paws sore to 'Con Te Partiro' with a wide-eyed Latino beauty whose dark gaze betrayed ignoble intentions with regard to my black leather jeans. ( Yes - Even The Wolf has lived a little ! ) Warm memories then and a welcome return. 'Crayons' delivers a highly ... Read More: Rating:  - A mixed effort from Ms SummerDonna Summer, known for disco classics such as `I Feel Love' & `Love To Love You Baby' returns to the 2008 music scene with a new release, titled Crayons. The title of this album sums up the approach of this effort from Ms Summer, a multi-coloured and varied collection of different musical styles that opens up with the dance/pop tracks Stamp Your Feet and Mr. Music. Ziggy Marley (son of Bob) teams up with Donna for the title track with its light pop-reggae sound. The Queen Is Back is a highlight of the album, with Donna clearly stating lyrically she's returned with this big beat sounding track. Other tracks covering the musical kaleidoscope include the acoustic sound of Sand On My Feet; the Bossa Nova influenced Drivin' ...

It might have been too much to expect Donna's first new studio album in 17 years to live up to expectations..... but it does and them some. I have to admire Donna for standing by her principles and insisting on doing an album of new contempory music rather than going down the covers album road that so many other artists of her era have gone down. Donna has co-written all of the tracks on this album and many of them could be hit singles given the right push by a record company. Tracks like 'Stamp Your Feet', 'The Queen is Back','I'm A Fire' and 'Drivin Down Brazil' would sit very comfortably next to her classic hits from the 1970s and 1980s. Donna has ...

Well, I'm sure that, by now, most listeners already know the story behind that. Suffice to say that among this palette of varied - some might say conflicting - styles, the big, seven-minute disco workout I'm A Fire is worth the investment on it's own. But I'm getting ahead of myself - here's a track-by track-breakdown: STAMP YOUR FEET From the opening whoa-oahs, there's no doubt that Donna's back in business with a radio-friendly belter of an "encouragement song" (as the lady herself describes it). The production signals a relentlessly modern approach, and boy, is this what's delivered over the next hour or so. I LOVE ... Read More: Rating: - A perfect SUMMER for the season and the year!Even though we're at the halfway point of the year, 2008 may go down as "The Year of the Boomer," what with major releases from "seniors" like Madonna, Sergio Mendes, Al Green, Dolly Parton and septuagenarian Dame Shirley Bassey, all being well-received by critics and fans alike. To the fray we can now add Donna Summer with "Crayons," a welcome addition to the singer's discography of hits and an ear-friendly hodgepodge for those of us that have loved the singer since "Love to Love You Baby" hit the airwaves three decades ago. The new release, featuring twelve songs co-written by Summer and a variety of songwriters, allows the singer to poke fun at herself and celebrity ("The Queen is Back" and "Fame-the Game"), as well as hurl herself ...
