Demi Lovato is back!
Below is a full track-by-track review of her latest album effort:
1. Heart Attack: This song has already reached the top 10 in numerous countries around the world.. And rightly so! The hook, the catch, everything about it screams hit and is infectiously catchy. I’m sure many of you have already caught yourselves singing the lyrics numerous times over and over again. (5/5)
2. Made In the USA: Whoa, what a follow up to her first single.. I really think this will be her second single. It’s too good to not be, the whole song is radio friendly and the verses + chorus is just as infectious as Heart Attack (4.7/5)
3. Without The Love: Hmm this one is a mixed bag for me, the verses are good but the chorus can get quite repetitive. The breakdown than redeems it all with Demi yelling her heart out again. All aside the track is not bad at all but just not as catchy as the others. (3.5/5)
4. Neon Lights: Demi shows off her dance side during this track and I love it! What about use? The song is just asking to be played at clubs and might just catapult Lovato into the top 10 billboard dance tracks. The chorus, the verses, the little dub step bit.. This track has it all. (5/5)
5. Two Pieces: Power ballad Demi returns and yes its yet another great track. It ticks all the classic ballad check list. The breakdown, the slow/upbeat verses before laying it all down in the final lyrics. It is all pure classic Demi (4.3/5)
6. Nightingale: This is a beautiful slow ballad that hits all the right notes without overdoing itself. The verses get you swaying and then the triumphant chorus comes in and you just want to scream along. Okay enough of what it makes me feel, does it do the same for you? (5/5)
7. In Case: Another laid back track but the album once proves it relentless to drop in quality, this is just as on-par with Nightingale but not quite as good. It’s a nice melody to get you in a somber mood with a nicely done piano backdrop. Demi also manages to leave you satisfied once she hits the high notes just before the song ends. (4.1/5)
8. Really Don’t Care (feat Cher Lloyd): As we reach the home stretch of the album fans are treated to yet another hit! Who knew the two could make a great combo together? Demi sings her verses effortlessly while Cher manages to flow quite nicely into the tune without running it. Dare I say this could be another single in the future? (4.4/5)
9. Fire Starter: I really like this track, it’s sort of edgy in which Demi works best (yes I’m pointing at you Remember December and Don’t Forget). The song is also yet another catchy tune. (4.5/5)
10. Something That We’re Not: Love this track. Demi Lovato channels a serious cooey voice in this one and it’s hella-catchy, Cause I-I-I know this one will be stuck in my head for days. It’s just a feel good sweet bubblegum track that will get you bopping along as you make your way to wherever it is your going. (5/5)
11. Never Been Hurt: The structure of this song is so good, it has some really great verses and heart-felt cooey injection of a chorus. The breakdown is quite small but only adds to the cool structure of it. (4.2/5)
12. Shouldn’t Come Back: This is one of the slower tracks of the album, it’s really noticeable since the rest of the album is quite upbeat. Every album needs that cooling off stage though so it’s nice. The climax redeems the slow pace of it when Demi starts screaming out in her most vulnerable voice “Maybe you shouldn’t come back to me”. (3.9/5)
13. Warrior: Another slow paced song to close out the album, but this is much more personal as shows of her ‘Skyscraper’ side once again by showing just how much she has healed, and fought back all the tough things she had faced. While not quite as hit worthy as Skyscraper though, it makes up for a great way to close out the album. It would have been nice to see Demi belt out her emotional shouting in this one though. (3.9/5)
Overall, this is truly an impressive comeback from Mrs. Lovato that not only delivers her fans everything they wanted but is bound to attract a whole new audience and provide radios’ plenty of hit worthy singles that can potentially smash radio charts across the globe.
