    taylegend11, dualipastan, sergio (with his multiple accounts), and angelievermore are losers. They're jealous of Demi's talent. I would be too if I stanned terrible singers like Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa. 5/5 album, Demi!

    Unbelievably good. Been a fan of Demi’s since day one, and this is truly her masterwork. No other album hits the emotional heights of this one, and I couldn’t be more proud of her for overcoming one of the most challenging moments of her life and producing such an amazing work of art. Thank you Demi, a lot of people owe you their lives.

    Mature, without the sometimes exaggerating vocals. She's proven to be an amazing singer and here she shows her ability towards songwriting. Atypical, dreamy and futuristic sounds joined by profound lyrics are an unbeatable mix.

    This album is a complete change from her previous work. It’s a well-thought project that shows her growth over these last three years. Nothing else to say: congratulations Demi for creating (for now) the most defining album of your career!

    Honest and beautiful. This album is really cohesive and in the same time many tracks are different I love this album and maybe her best ! Her voice is so good. Some tracks remind me her debuts albums (Don’t Forget & Here We Go Again) and I love that !!! The track with Saweetie is new genre for Demi and shes killin it ! It’s 20/10 for Demi

    This is her best by far. The chronological story telling alongside the great production makes this her most cohesive album. "The Art of Starting Over", "Met Him Last Night" (featuring Ariana Grane) and "Easy" (with Noah Cyrus) are stand out tracks.

    Lovato's frankness is disarming, forcing a listener to reckon with the depths of the singer's distinction, yet the album works best when it veers toward lighter territory, letting the slick R&B rhythms and sugared hooks carry Lovato's emoting.

    Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over is Demi Lovato like we have never heard before. She is sassy and carefree while serious about her identity and personhood in a way she has been itching to be for years.

    The opening three tracks are almost an EP in their own right, before a quick reset. Semi title track ‘The Art Of Starting Over’ begins anew, a straight forward bop that gets to the root of Demi’s recovery – her natural talent, her ear for pop magic, affording room for personal renewal.
