THE QUEEN IS BACK: DONNA SUMMER MAKES LONG-AWAITED RETURN WITH FIRST STUDIO ALBUM IN 17 YEARS! 02.25.08

Donna Summer's first studio album in 17 years, "Crayons," will be released by SonyBMG/Burgundy on May 20th. Featuring a killer collection of new material, "Crayons" will include tracks co-written by Donna with an amazing cast of collaborators: Greg Kurstin, Danielle Brisebois, JR Rotem, Evan Bogart, Danielle Brisebois, Toby Gad and Wayne Hector are just some of the creative names involved in this incredible return-to-form. The first song to emerge from "Crayons" is "I'm A Fire," mixes of which are currently spreading like (you guessed it...) fire throughout clubs around the world. Billboard Magazine was the first to publicly announce the news about "Crayons" earlier today. "Crayons" was A&R'd by Pure Tone's Pete Ganbarg, who also signed Donna to Burgundy. More news on "Crayons" coming soon!

A late Summer but worth the wait! I'm A Fire arrives for legal download in OZ; the preview clip of Stamp Your Feet sounds better than good, it sounds brilliant! So Crayons looks like a classic album already. Congrats to Puretone and Donna. Tour Australia Donna, you'd love it. Summer all winter long.

RikH said on Thu, 27 Mar 2008 at 10:44:00 EDT

That 1 minute sample of Stamp your feet sounds Sublime! can't wait to hear it in full!! Greg Kurstin has done some amazing stuff with Peaches, Miss Kitten, Dragonette and that remix for Kylie's Can't get you out of my head is superb.. hope he remixes the song as well :)

Mikael Sorel from Denmark said on Wed, 26 Mar 2008 at 12:27:59 EDT

Heard a clip of Stamp Your Feet - F**K it's HOT, it have hit written all over it - It's really true the queen Donna Summer is back.

Peter Stuart said on Tue, 25 Mar 2008 at 09:38:08 EDT

What a pity that there is no official Donna downunder - the I'm A Fire EP is still not available in Australia. So not quite an international release yet! I sincerely hope the album makes it down here! XpS

Definitivamente la diva de divas tendra un gran exito con soy un fuego tiene todo el poder que esta cancion se robe el corazon de las nuevas generaciones Donna Summer eres fantastica que Dios haga en nosotros la realidad de que sigas adelante dandonos tu arte musical eres lo mejor.

Jimmie said on Tue, 11 Mar 2008 at 07:59:03 EDT

I would suggest that you have Donna's single for "I'm A Fire" and her soon to be release "Crayons" cd placed on the opening page of Itunes when they are released so that it is seen immediately.

ramon c said on Sat, 08 Mar 2008 at 02:49:22 EST

Paulo said on Wed, 05 Mar 2008 at 14:27:58 EST

Thank you Pure Tone and Burgundy for bringing back the voice of Love. In Love with the new song "I'm a fire" and longing for more from this amazing voice.It has been a long wait for this new album with new material. Please let's make this work this time. She is "burning so bright" and so are we with the anticipation. Love you Donna Summer:-) Paulo- London

Otis said on Tue, 04 Mar 2008 at 13:32:56 EST

I second John B. She should perform on Saturday Night Live and should also host. It would be great to see Donna's funny side.

jordan said on Tue, 04 Mar 2008 at 11:55:17 EST

love what i've heard so far. the spanish is fun! 'can't wait to hear the rest of the cd! i'm not sure if pure tone was the one responsible for getting the news out - if so, i certainly heard about it. great to hear Donna Summer is recording again.

Nikos said on Tue, 04 Mar 2008 at 03:00:53 EST

Summer comes a little earlier this year, is it May yet;

Jim Fitz said on Sun, 02 Mar 2008 at 23:21:54 EST

Knowing the awesome power of Donna's voice, I am sure this CD will be worth its weight in gold! I always new she would be back someday, I just thank God I am here to experience it! Thanks to Sony/Burgundy and Pure tone for bringing back the greatest voice in history! We love you Donna!

Joey said on Sun, 02 Mar 2008 at 02:43:56 EST

PureToneMusic does not handle promotion/appearances. A&R deals with song selection and record production (personnel, budgets, etc.). It is all on the website.

Frank B said on Sat, 01 Mar 2008 at 18:16:08 EST

How about getting Donna to perform on Saturday Night Live & American Idol! How about reviving VH1's DIVAS for a Tribute to Donna Summer!! FrankB

Brian Ingram said on Sat, 01 Mar 2008 at 16:57:20 EST

DONNA ON DANCING WITH THE STARS would be amazing. Larry King Oprah American Idol TV Concert

rob said on Sat, 01 Mar 2008 at 00:23:26 EST

Wow, a new Donna Summer CD! In the last 10 years I purchased all of her past recordings (that I didn't have) that were outside the blockbuster's Bad Girls, Live and More and On The Radio. Most of those were new to me. She has the most versatile range of any pop artist in the past three decades. Only Linda Rondstadt comes close. Most of the others have a much smaller range and/or confined to repetitive style. Not a fan of all the dance remixes, prefer the rock and roll, but hey that's what makes Donna Summer special.

tony said on Thu, 28 Feb 2008 at 11:14:50 EST

Congrats on getting the word out to the print media. Announcements are all over the NET. Now, we need to take the word to radio. Success will depend on whether radio will play Donna again. Can we get a recorded interview or quick sample cuts of the album sent to satellite and FM radio. I have been listening for announcements on the radio. No word yet. Just an idea!

tony said on Thu, 28 Feb 2008 at 10:52:08 EST

Is STAMP being released in March or April to radio? I hope there is a commercial single to buy. Only 81 more days until May 20!!!!!

Ken said on Wed, 27 Feb 2008 at 12:40:09 EST

To Pure Tone and Burgundy we say Thank You!, and then some. There are legions of us around the globe who have been Donna Summer fans since the early days and we are very much still here, with a lot more who have joined us since. When Donna performs in concert, there is a one-of-kind connection between her and her fans, not to mention a whole lotta love!! With everythng bad in this world today, we need as much joy as possible, and Donns's CD, Crayons, will bring joy to millions. ......and I'm A Fire is Hot!

Greg said on Wed, 27 Feb 2008 at 11:51:35 EST

There is such wonderful buzz about this release. LOVE the album version of I'm a Fire! While I have appreciated Donna's big dance hits in the past decade, it is finally here, a new full length album. Things are "Looking Up, again, coming back to life...." Hope singles are available for purchase.

Tom said on Tue, 26 Feb 2008 at 23:42:01 EST

I could not be more excited. This is great news. Thank you Pure Tone for all of the hard work. Looking forward to May 20th. I'm A Fire!

Ben said on Tue, 26 Feb 2008 at 23:04:02 EST

17 years! WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME! I will buying several copies of her CD as soon as it drops! I still can't believe it! I love my Donna!

Carolien said on Tue, 26 Feb 2008 at 10:41:29 EST

Hi from Holland! Hopefully the cd will be released here as well. That new song is HOT!

john gonzalez said on Tue, 26 Feb 2008 at 09:25:17 EST

I am so pleased that Donna Summer is finally going to have a new album "Crayons". I have heard the new single (I'm a fire) so nice to hear a new sound to a class act with a voice that I like nothing else i have heard ever. We Love Donna Summer in Los Angeles. Thank God For the Queen of Dance/Disco

lee said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 22:09:00 EST

not sure if puretone/ bugundy realise just how much of a big deal this to all the donna diehard fans around the globe who have been waiting patiently for 17 years, so kudos to everyone involved in being a big part of her return.im sure when may arrives you will realise what a little pot of gold youve been sitting on!! kate bush also had a massive gap between cds and when she finally released her cd her fans were there for her, just like donnas will be(if not more im sure!!) the fans are behind this project 100%!!please,please also release some physical cd singles with all the mixes if possible!! us diehards prefer physical cds to downloads. will be buying multiple copies when released all the way over here in ireland!! waiting in anticipation.... :)

Uli Kaiser said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 22:03:55 EST

I HAVE I'M A FIRE FEVER! Love all the versions, especially the Original Album Version, Thank you so much for putting out such cool, sexy, awesome music!! I've already heard it two nights in a row. Simply MAGIC! SOLD

Jimmie Lee said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 20:50:19 EST

I would like to than Pure Tone/Sony for adding Donna Summer to their roster. As I'm sure you have discovered or have already known, Donna has a legion of fans that have never given up on her and her music. She inspires me to sing with that unmatchable voice of hers. Please treat her right and fair. She is worth it!

Kergan said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 19:45:20 EST

When is Stamp Your Feet going to be released? Word is it's HOT! Cannot wait for this new release. Please start working on a follow-up CD as soon as possible. We cannot wait another 17 years.—Kergan

Lisa said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 19:40:59 EST

I am going crazy. Is it May yet?

Russ said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 19:40:09 EST

Hard to believe that the drought is over!!! Long live Donna Summer. I will be counting the 85 days 'til Summer.

Lee B said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 19:32:43 EST

At last, the wait is almost over. Make sure you buy copies of Crayons for your friends, and help Donna chart nicely. Well done to the team at Puretone and Burgundy, for the build up. And Donna, please do some UK tour dates. Your fans have not had a proper live show since 1996! Lee

Mikael Sorel from Denmark said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 19:28:31 EST

This is absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!! Thanks to Donna and Pure Tone & Burgundy for having faith in each other And like Kim said "Remember to use the fans in the promotion" - We are many all around the world.

Bryan said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 18:42:52 EST

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and a BIG THANK YOU! It's been too long for a new CD from Donna. I know it will be a HIT!

Joe said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 18:36:48 EST

Thank you Pure Tone for bringing back the hottest voice ever! This could be the HOTTEST SUMMER ON RECORD !!! Let us fans know if we can be of any help.. thanks again.

Canard said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 18:18:16 EST

I can't believe this is happening! Thank you so much PureToneMusic for believing in Donna. And thank you Donna for sharing your tremendous vocal talent, songwriting, and artistic abilities with us once again. The cast of supporting characters and producers sound more than promising. For the lady who never really left I'm glad to see she's coming around again! Is it May 20th yet? :-)

Tony said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 18:02:44 EST

Thanks Pete and Pure Tone!!!It is the news we have been officially awaiting. Don't you know that many fans will declare May 20th a holiday. I plan to take the whole day off from work so I can enjoy this soon to be classic album. Can't wait for a single and Spring to come.

Marty said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 17:54:27 EST

Just got blown away by listening to I'm A Fire recently. Awesome vocals, awesome song! Based on the song and Donna's track record of putting out good music, I will be buying "Crayons" for many of my friends and family. (I guess the money in my wallet is about to be emptied in May!) Seventeen years is way too long of a wait for such a talented artist.

Eldo Ray Estes said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 17:46:36 EST

BIG BIG KUDOS to Pure Tone Music!! Here is to lots of success with your collaboration with THE QUEEN OF DANCE...DONNA SUMMER. This is what so many of us have been waiting for... Thank you!!!!

Eston said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 17:10:45 EST

Thanks for the info. I can't wait for the new cd to come out. The Queen is back! I've waited a long time to hear Donna Summer returning with full album of new material.

Stormy said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 17:07:07 EST

Wow, THANK YOU for this tremendous update! I'm so happy Summer's back! I've waited seventeen years for this May release, and am excitedly looking forward to purchasing this CD! Thanks to everyone at Burgundy for believing in Donna, for Pure Tone's hard work and to Donna herself for her dedication in making this happen! Please consider releasing the lead single/s on CD-single for purchase, perhaps with remixes added. Looking forward to hearing more!

Helder said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 16:26:12 EST

Great News. Will it be released in Belgium?

Alby said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 16:12:58 EST

Long-live THE QUEEN!!! Donna Summer's voice is ageless, she is a powerhouse legend and deserves continued success, congrats to her and PURE TONE for all your hard work. I am very excited to hear that the new album is coming to full fruition. "I'm A Fire" mixes are absolutely contagious and purely "Hot Stuff". Can't wait to hear the rest of the future hits. Let's burn up the charts!

Raul said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 16:05:01 EST

Can't wait for the first single coming in March and for the album coming in May. I love "I'm a Fire", great dance song and the Latin interlude with Donna singing in Spanish is amazing! Love you Donna, can't wait to see you in concert again COME TO BOSTON!

Mike said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 16:00:04 EST

Oh thank GOD! I've been waiting for new music from Donna for so very long! I am thrilled with "I'm a Fire" and can't wait for the rest of Crayons! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more!

Oh yay!! Keep putting out those remixes baby!! Can't wait for the new CD!! May can't come fast enough!! Congrats Donna for the renewed creativity and to Pure Tone & Burgundy for having faith in our Diva Donna!!! :) Now maybe we can remind the Rock Hall of Fame what DONNA SUMMER is all about!!

Joey and Debbie said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 15:49:09 EST

I have to tell Deb, Donna Summer is BACK. Will the Freemasons be working with her? This is outstanding news, so May 20th is the day? Then I will be there. I'm A Fire is catchy and wears well. I cannot wait to hear Rotem's take on Ms. Summer.:)

dion said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 15:47:55 EST

hi, i'm a fire rocks. i'm from europe and i suggest if you plan a european release of stamp to put it out in remix form. for example you will only hear beyonce's hits remixed on the radio

Bruno said on Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 14:30:46 EST

Oh My GOD!!!! That's for real finally. Please provide more details. I can't wait for May 20th. The Queen is back! Let everybody knows!!!!! bruno-italy
