Album: Donna Summer by Donna Summer (1982)
Genre: R&B | Style: Rock/Pop | Mood: Happy
Format: Album

Description: The follow-up to Donna Summer's first big Geffen album did reasonably well and proved to be the lull before the storm. "State of Independence" just missed being a hit, and "Woman In Me" cracked the pop and R&B Top 40, although it wasn't a smash. But the album mostly reaffirmed that Summer was back in stride and hadn't merely scored a fluke with her previous release.
