Donna Summer back in release schedules with 'Crayons'

DISCO AND R&B diva Donna Summer, who is estimated to have sold 130 million albums worldwide, makes a return to the scene on 20th May with the release of her 'Crayons' album. The album garners help from a slew of writers and producers including Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Pink), Danielle Brisebois (Natasha Bedingfield, New Radicals), JR Rotem (Sean Kingston, Rihanna) and Evan Bogart, the son of Casablanca Records' head Neil Bogart who discovered Summer back in the '70s. Summer spoke to Billboard about her return to the recording studio, "I've been extremely blessed and I am obviously aware of it. That was one of the reasons I felt that I shouldn't even bother to be out there again, because there are so many people who haven't even had a chance yet, and it just clutters up the market. But at some point I just got bored. There were songs that were in me and the little head kept popping up. I felt like, 'You know what, I'm supposed to do this.'" CR
