    This album is a bop! Vulnerable charming lyrics with the company of great beatings. Also fantastic artists for the featurings. Demi has finally reached the AOTY landing.

    O álbum ser torna um pouco longo tendo em conta estarmos acostumados com musicas curtas hoje em dia, mas ainda sim não deixa de ser álbum bom, talvez até o melhor feito até agora. Algumas musicas poderiam ter sido tiradas para deixar o álbum menor, mas sendo uma narrativa DELA quem somos nós pra dizer o que devia ter entrado ou não.

    This album is versatile like the new Demi's era, it has a little pinch of each of the previous albums with a hint of things never tried before by Demi. And its differential is to follow the chronological order of the artist's last years, which makes us enter the book of her life. It's magical!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ‘Dancing With The Devil... The Art Of Starting Over’ tells Demi’s full story since her addiction & overdose to nowdays that are better days! In ‘Anyone’ we can see her asking for help to her friends & family, telling that anyone is listening and she is tired of singing & praying; by that, we can observe a lyric paralel to her 2017 hit ‘Sober’, which she tells she is not sober anymore! Following the prelude, we go to ‘Dancing With The Devil’, the song represents, as shown on the newly released music video, Demi’s 2018 heroine overdose, that she was violated, drugged & almost died on a hospital bed, almost going to heaven, ‘closer than you know’, by that, we can see that ‘ICU’ is the continuation of her hospital story & the moment she had with her sister there, ‘Maddison’s Lullaby’! So after that, we observe that ‘Intro’ is the introduction or her new life, her rebirth, the starting over (as the next song, ‘The Art Of Starting Over’)! For now on she continues to tell her 3 year life story trough solo and amazing songs like ‘Lonely People’, ‘Melon Cake’, ‘15 minutes’, ‘California Sober’, ‘Butterfly’... & of course, incredible collaborations with Ariana Grande (Met Him Last Night), Sam Fischer (What Other People Say), Noah Cyrus (Easy) & Saweetie (My Girlfriends Are My Boyfriend)!

    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.
