Legendary singer songwriter, DONNA SUMMER, is
hard at work on her first studio album of all new material in 17 years!
Crayons is set to release on May 20, 2008 on Sony BMG Music
Entertainment's Burgundy Records. 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 will have 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
are 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). 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."
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.
