Released: 1979
Bad Girls
by Donna Summer
The 822nd greatest album of all time
Bad Girls, released in 1979 by Donna Summer, blends late 1970s disco with emerging electronic dance textures to create a polished, dancefloor-focused sound. The album features driving grooves, prominent bass and percussion, layered vocals and synthesizer accents, with production from Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte that pairs tight, radio-friendly song structures with moments of extended groove. Its mix of lush orchestration and electro-disco elements helped shape the transition from orchestral disco toward more synth-driven dance music.
