Another Place and Time

Donna Summer

A high-gloss collision of Stock Aitken Waterman’s Hi-NRG production and Summer’s legendary gospel-trained power. Pure late-eighties dance-pop euphoria.

This album represents the ultimate late-eighties pop makeover, where the 'Queen of Disco' met the 'Hit Factory' of Stock Aitken Waterman. The result is a high-octane, neon-drenched collection of dance-pop that feels both machine-tooled for the charts and deeply soulful. While SAW were often criticized for a cookie-cutter approach, Donna Summer’s voice is far too powerful to be contained by a formula. She brings a level of gospel-trained authority and emotional weight to these tracks that her younger contemporaries simply could not match.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive key change and soaring ad-libs in the final chorus of This Time I Know It's For Real
The staccato synth-bass line that anchors the heartbreak of I Don't Wanna Get Hurt
The dramatic orchestral hits that introduce the house-inflected Love's About to Change My Heart
The way Summer's voice effortlessly rises above the dense electronic percussion on the title track
