    Es una obra de arte, y más aún tener a Demi de vuelta, la echaba de menos su música. Y la verdad es que este álbum a cada canción, es una melodia obviamente distinta desde por lo que ella ha pasado. Ha vuelto más fuerte y se nota su esencia, su música, es pura magia, puro esplendor. Gracias Demi por dejarnos disfrutar de tu música

    Após anos sombrios, com muitos acontecimentos em sua vida particular e profissional, Demi Lovato transforma essas vivências em aprendizados para poder recomeçar. Dance 'With The Devil... The Art Of Starting Over' é o sétimo disco da cantora americana, seu primeiro após a overdose, em 2018.

Dance 'With The Devil... The Art Of Starting Over' é o sétimo disco da cantora americana, seu primeiro após a overdose, em 2018.

    Apesar de narrar a história que marcou sua vida nos últimos anos, e seus momentos mais críticos, o album não gira em torno do sofrimento e a dor. Ela faz dos momentos mais árduos e sem perspectivas, uma forma de ressignificar sua existência. Lovato consegue expor seus problemas como um teatro da vida real, através de letras, melodias e sons que dão sentido à sua jornada atual.

    Demi's work follows a vicious cycle. How can you sell an intimate and personal job with 13 producers doing her job?And none of the songs were written entirely by her. It is poor, desperate and disheartening to hear a scream

    I wasn’t a big fan of Demi not gonna lie but after hearing this... Wow. Every song is so GOOD. This is really my fave album released in 2021 so far and i’m not even a big fan of pop or artists like Demi but i’m glad i gave it a try. Congratulations on this amazing album Demi!

    the feeling i got listening to dancing with the devil is that demi doesn't need to scream to be noticed anymore. it's kinda like: "i'm about to tell my story, do you wanna sit and listen while we drink a cup of tea?". it's her best piece of work for sure. plus, she didn't put a high not in every sentence she sings, so the album is very pleasing to listen.

Un album che non riuscirò a smettere di ascoltare dall'inizio alla fine perché è un viaggio meraviglioso!! Il pop vintage e quel country/folk mi riporta all'infanzia..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album by Demi Lovato is very good. The songwriting is great, the production is very impressive as well. But what makes this album excellent is Demi's powerhouse vocals. She also has a very concise list of collaborations which are all very unique and they feel very necessary. Stylistically, the album is mostly filled with emotional or inspirational ballads and more uptempo pop rock groovy anthems. Though she does veer from this formula with some folk inspired and Hip Hop production here and there. With a voice like Demi's there really aren't any limits so she manages to pull off whatever she goes for. The album is also unique for Demi because it is conceptual with the some songs addressing her personal struggles coming first, then an intro comes as the 4th track and the songs after the intro sort of deal with her recovery and where she is now. This was a masterful way to tackle the themes in the album. I personally enjoyed the piano ballads and slow songs like ICU, Anyone, The Way You Don't Look at me, Easy, Butterfly & Good Place more than i enjoyed the groovy pop rock tracks like The Art of Starting Over, Melon Cake, Lonely People, Carefully & The Kind of Lover I Am. Her collaboration with Noah Cyrus is by far the best collaboration on the album and they harmonize so beautifully. The collaboration with Saweetie is also very good and it makes for a great bff anthem. All in all, what Demi has here is an album that is mostly cohesive and thematically consistent, though it ended up being a bit long.… Expand

    I can't stop listening to it, the best of 2021. This is not just an album, it is a piece of Demi's soul.

    I liked the album is so diferent from everything she has done, she keeps inovating her art and being the most honest artist i've ever seen, putting her heart and feelings on hard work to share with the world, this is talent, this is art. Your fans are very proud of you Mrs. Demetria

    It’s Demi’s most adventurous, ambitious, liberated, experimental, and mature album to date - a moving and uplifting confessional with hints of Kacey Musgraves’ spiritual venture from 2018. While tackling heavy themes, the album maintains a light, sunbaked, retro breeziness (particularly notable in “The Art of Starting Over,” “California Sober,” “The Kind of Lover”).

    An album full of the energy of a new beginning. Very well punctuated in the beginning the dark and painful part left behind in each next song. The vocal technique more refined than ever and the musicality of Demi Lovato manages to inspire everyone. A long album that we hear as if it were short.

    Her best album already done it. Her honesty, originality and sound made her something different. Iconic and legend.

    I've always appreciated her incredible voice but felt like her previous work has leaned a little too heavily into the dramatic, to the point of being almost theatrical. This is not that. This is raw and honest. Her experiences are heartbreaking and some of the songs are devastating to hear because I've been through similar situations. It's a heavy listen, but it's worth it.

    La verdad lo siente muy básico, las sonidos aburren demasiado, ya es hora de reinventarse

    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.
