Posted May 17, 200817 yr Ok, I confess I don't really know much about Donna Summer but she's back with her first album since 1991, Crayons. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51xQaeQzs6L._SL500_AA240_.jpg Give her airbrusher a massive pay increase becuase no sixty-something looks THAT amazing :heehee: Anyway you can hear lead single Stamp Your Feet here: pvOuAc7ItQ4 It's produced by Greg Kurstin and once that disco chorus kicks in it is an absolute anthem! :heart: Also her official site has a song off the album, The Queen Is Back, in full. Click here to listen - it's even better! Amazing! B)
May 18, 200817 yr Author No fans? The album leaked and it really is incredible. The opening five tracks I could play on repeat forever. :wub:
May 21, 200817 yr Author Not a studio album. :P Seriously, I know so many of you guys would LOVE the new music this legend is pushing out - give it a try! Stamp Your Feet: oY3DuLr1Ku8 That's just a promo clip; theres no actual music video as such.
May 21, 200817 yr Its rare for me to like an album by someone so old, im quite agest with music :lol: But i love 'Stamp Your Feet' so i decided to give the whole album a listen. Heres my very quick review: 01 Stamp Your Feet - Really love this song, so catchy & that anthem chorus makes it even better - 9/10 02 Mr Music - Everything produced by JR Rotem is always amazing, the synths on this are amazing, love it - 10/10 03 Crayons (Ft Ziggy Marley) - Ive never heard electro-pop reggae before, but its really good, great summer tune - 9/10 04 The Queen Is Back - Sounds like something from 1985, really great song - 9.5/10 05 Fame (The Game) - Yet again, a brilliant extremely catchy pop tune, she sounds a lot younger than 59 in it :lol: - 9/10 06 Sand On My Feet - Much slower song now, and its a very nice slow slice of pop, very good - 8.5/10 07 Drivin' Down Brazil - Reminds me of something 'Enrique Iglesias' would do for some reason, its quite good, a filler but a good one - 7/10 08 I'm A Fire - This is one long song, i cant listen to it all tbh but its very much good dancey pop - 7/10 09 Slide Over Backwards - Something completely different, its weird, country, basically plain odd yet catchy - 7.5/10 10 Science Of Love - This is like Kylie Minogue meets Timbaland imo, great song - 9/10 11 Be Myself Again - A slow 90s sounding ballad here, its nice enough i guess - 6.5/10 12 Bring Down The Reign - Pretty average end to the album here, not bad though - 6/10 Overall: A pretty good album actually, the first five songs are really amazing but it goes downhill from there though not bad. 09
May 23, 200817 yr This is a truly amazing album! Crayons is just so catchy and slide over backwards is completely different but soo good! This is a triumph for the old girl! :lol:
May 23, 200817 yr Author Hey Geo. :o I totally agree! She's #18 on US iTunes atm with the album. Also she performed Stamp Your Feet on American Idol! _kHCY1jPtOs She comes in at around two minutes or so. Amazing! The release schedule for some reason has I'm A Fire down as being released as a single on 23rd June, the same day as Crayons comes out here. I doubt very much it'll actually happen but if we do get a single it should be Stamp Your Feet, not IAF...
May 23, 200817 yr Yeh i agree. I dont think I'm a fire would do as well and Stamp your feet is better. I hope she does well, i'm in love with this album! :wub:
May 25, 200817 yr I Love it! But just not sure if I can see this getting airplay in the US....Hopefully Donna Summer is popular enough to make it chart even without airplay.
May 29, 200817 yr Author Album got to #17 in the US in the end! :D Great result! 17 SUMMER*DONNA CRAYONS 22,573 +999% 124 22,697 Her last album, in 1990, only sold 50,000 copies in total!
June 4, 200817 yr Author Second week Billboard figures are in: (17) 43 SUMMER*DONNA CRAYONS 11,624 -49% 22,573 34,321 Quite a drop in terms of chart positions, but sales dropped less than 50% when the average second-week fall is 65%. Going well. ^_^
