DONNA SUMMER Vinilo y CD

Review: A worthy reissue that helps celebrate 40 years since it original hit the airwaves, Cats Without Claws finds Donna Summer at a crossroads. Having ruled the disco era, by 1984 she was adapting to a pop world that wasn't quite sure where she fitted in. Reunited with producer Michael Omartian, the album aims for the sleek, adult-contemporary sound that had revitalised her on 'She Works Hard For the Money' and the result is a spirited and fascinating listen that shines brighter in hindsight. Tracks like 'There Goes My Baby' and 'Supernatural Love' pulse with polished energy, while ballads like 'Forgive Me' (which earned Summer a Grammy) reveal her gospel roots with searing sincerity. Some of the production choices lean heavily into 80s gloss, mirroring the drama that made her disco-era work so riveting. Summer's voice remains a powerhouse, navigating pop, soul and inspirational styles with effortless charisma - making this an overlooked gem, for sure.

This 2xCD collection is a journey through Summer's most defining hits, spanning the decades from her chart-topping debut in the 70s to the tracks that kept her relevant in the 2000s. It's a definitive retrospective of Summer's reign over the dancefloor. The first disc kicks off with the high-energy pulse of 'Hot Stuff', quickly followed by the anthem 'Bad Girls', which solidified Summer's reputation for making irresistible, boundary-pushing music. Tracks like 'This Time I Know It's for Real' from her later catalogue show her ability to evolve and remain at the forefront of pop culture, while 'I Feel Love', with its hypnotic electronic groove, was groundbreaking, a bold fusion of synths and disco that still resonates today. This collection doesn't just celebrate her as a solo powerhouse. Duets like 'No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)' with Barbra Streisand, and tracks like 'Love's Unkind' and 'Down Deep Inside (Theme From The Deep)' remind us of Summer's versatility, seamlessly moving between chart-dominating hits and cinematic moments. Across forty tracks, this compilation captures the breadth of Summer's artistry, cementing her as a global icon who consistently reshaped the sound of popular music for decades.
