Color Her Happy

Donna Summer's Crayons won't revive memories of her peak years. It won't make you turn in your copy of Bad Girls or the long forgotten The Wanderer. But it is on a par with She Works Hard For The Money and the last studio album she charted in 1989 Another Place Another Time. There's one too many faux reggae songs, not much R&B, but her dance fans will be pleased. It's odd that the best cut and lead single, "I'm A Fire" is buried near the end of the CD. Still, this is as good as we're likely to get from Summer, who sounds rejuvenated and happy to be dancing again.
