“Disco Reborn: Donna Summer’s Lost Albums to Be Released in 2025 Global Listening Event”
In what fans are calling the most exciting Donna Summer news in years, her estate has announced the upcoming release of two “lost” studio albums, long believed to be shelved or incomplete. Slated for official release in Fall 2025, these albums will be introduced through an exclusive global listening event hosted by Netflix Music.
The albums—recorded between 1980 and 1983, during Summer’s transition from disco to more experimental pop and soul—contain fully produced tracks that were never commercially released. Tapes of the sessions were recently recovered from archived studio vaults and painstakingly restored using modern audio technology. According to sources close to the project, the sound is “unmistakably Donna”—powerful vocals, deep grooves, and bold emotional storytelling.
To honor her artistry, Netflix will host a virtual listening experience in September 2025, where fans can join a synchronized global stream of the albums, complete with commentary from original producers, Donna’s family members, and celebrity admirers. The event will also include behind-the-scenes footage from the original studio sessions and personal reflections on her creative process.
Adding even more sparkle to the celebration, the estate has hinted that limited-edition vinyl pressings will be available for preorder, along with exclusive merchandise themed around her classic 1980s aesthetic.
Fans, critics, and fellow artists alike are already praising the announcement as a rare gift—a second chance to experience fresh work from a musical legend whose influence still echoes through pop, dance, and R&B.
In a world craving authenticity and joy, Donna Summer’s rediscovered voice is poised to fill dance floors and hearts once again. The Queen of Disco is back—not just in memory, but in music the world is hearing for the first time.
