About this album

The Wanderer is Donna Summer’s sharp stylistic pivot into rock-leaning pop, new wave touches and streamlined electronic-funk. Released in 1980, the album followed her peak disco years and broadened her sound without losing the force of her voice or her instinct for the dance floor. The title track became a major hit and set the tone for a record that balances urgency, melodic hooks and a more hard-edged persona. Working with Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, Summer helped redefine how a post-disco star could sound at the start of the 1980s, making the album an important bridge between eras.
