Demi Lovato breaks out new album

Demi Lovato's comeback album is all about redemption. Her breakout single "Skyscraper" addresses her past in rehabilitation and all the negative emotions around her. "You can take everything thing I have/you can break everything I have/ like I'm made of glass." This single gave way for what the actual album would be about. Featuring artists such as Missy Elliot, Timberland, Jason Derulo and IYAZ, Lovato has matured in her musical career.

 

Instead of the rock' n ‘roll niche that fans have come to expect, Lovato takes a different approach venturing into a different genre of R&B and lyrical ballads. While this album does feature pop, upbeat songs, the overall theme of the album is redemption. On songs such as "You're my only Shorty (featuring IYAZ)" Lovato talks about hoping that the romantic encounters of last night carry over into the next morning. "Last night was crazy and today it's heading in. Did you really mean it and could you say it again?"

 

"On All Night Long (featuring Missy Elliot and Timberland)" Lovato expresses the "bad girl pop" side of the album with songs that are made for the club with risky lyrical content"There's danger, I'm addicted to the danger."

 

Lovato never shies away from the microphone, as her vocals are passionate and powerful on tracks such as "Fix a Heart" and "Hold up".  Lovato has displayed incredible growth since her first album. Although Lovato suffered from self –harming and bulimia, the tracks on her latest album display that she is ready to move on from her troubled past.
