That 17 years after the obscure "Mistaken Identity" and 9 years after his last live album "Live And More, Again", Donna Summer is back with "Crayons", a new studio album entirely of eclectic new materials on top of trends current! I bought it as a fan of Donna 1970s and disco and I expected to be disappointed ... Error! Quality is at the appointment on almost every song the beautiful co-signed with big names from the current production. It contains some autobiographical lyrics through which Donna back on his life and his career (very rhythmic "The Queen Is Back" and "Fame The Game" but also the touching ballad "Be Myself Again") and role of love in his life (with very bossa nova "Sand On My Feet" electro "It's Only Love" bonustrack) ... Other titles, lighter, are veritable invitation to the party with first solar house track "I'm A Fire" (as a new "I Feel Love") to prefer his album version, but also "Stamp Your Feet" or Donna sings a duet with Ziggy Marley reggae air on a sunny ... A good lesson to all those in his absence merely follow without equal! We can not really say that Donna had abandoned us, exuding regularly but more or less confidentially his new discographic since 1991 (including the single "Carry On" in 1992, the Christmas songs album "Christmas Spirit" in 1994, singles "Melody Of Love" in 1996 and "I Will Go With You" in 1999 on the live album enriched other new studio tracks, later also scattered in film music ("Pokémon", 2001) or compilations ("Donna Summer: The Journey" in 2003) or singles ("I Got Your Love", 2005) ... but this time for sure, the Queen is really back and has lost none of his voice : this album is a must have and would frankly deserved a much further promotion in Europe!
