What's New with ... Donna Summer?

The original diva of the disco era, Donna Summer, will release her first CD since 1991 on May 20. Do the math ... Summer has not released new material for the past 17 years! To be honest, the last single track I remember from her is This Time I Know It's for Real from the 1989 CD, Another Place and Time.



Summer will release Crayon, which contains primarily electronic dance tracks. The disco originator with the soulful delivery realizes that with a modern return attempt, came the need to update her dance music repetoire.

In the past, Summer has worked with dance music visionary producers including Giorgio Moroder and the trio of Stock-Aitken-Waterman. The latter is best known for producing Rick Astley and early Kylie Minogue albums.

One producer of her newest effort is remix master Jason Nevins, who arranged Summer's second single, Stamp Your Feet.



More Videos

The first single released from Crayon and already getting airplay on satellite radio electronic music stations is I'm a Fire, which has already reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Dance chart.

Despite the 'rust factor,' it looks as if the disco diva has no plans to retire quietly into the gentle night. Are you a fan of her newest work?

I was a club DJ back when "Love to Love Ya, Baby" was a hit. I am proud to say I helped usher in the disco era, but I haven't heard any of her latest music.

Thanks for the update. I'd like to see Summer return. I have to get used to the new song. I still have my favorite "Last Dance" stuck in my head.

I look forward to open exchange among other visitors to the myMusic Houston page and myMusic Houston blogs and message boards.
