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. Her song
"Last Dance" won both Oscar and Golden Globe awards.
Donna's "Firsts":
-- FIRST female singer to have a #1 album and #1 single on the Billboard
charts simultaneously - a feat she accomplished again just a few months
later, breaking her own record.
-- FIRST artist to have three #1 double albums on the Billboard charts
consecutively with Live and More , Bad Girls, and On the Radio (she
still remains the only female artist and solo act with this
accomplishment).
-- FIRST female solo artist with three #1 hits in a one year period,
topping the charts with the singles "Hot Stuff," "Bad Girls" and "No
More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" - a duet with Barbara Streisand.
-- FIRST artist to achieve Gold status with a 12 inch for her single "No
More Tears (Enough Is Enough)."
-- FIRST artist ever to be given a Grammy for the category "Best Rock
Female Vocal Performance" for her Platinum single "Hot Stuff."
-- FIRST artist ever to be given a Grammy for the category "Best Dance
Recording" for her song "Carry On."
-- FIRST group of artists to be inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame
in 2004, alongside The Bee Gees and Barry White.
