    One of the most cohesive album I’ve ever heard in my life. What Demi just did in this album made her grew up in music in a way so good that surprised me.

    Demi mostrou ser uma excelente artista, transformando algo tão cruel de sua vida, em arte da forma mais pura e genuína. Esse álbum é monumental, sua evolução sonora e identidade artística só aumenta, esse é sem dúvida alguma o maior e melhor trabalho que ela já entregou.

My favorite track is the title one Dancing with the Devil, the vocals on this album are on point as always with Demi we get amazing singing, she has such a range.

I cried, vibe, and dance. The collab with ari was perfect, the voices together was out of this world. Sam and Noah collab was sooo good. I can’t stop hearing this album. The more I hear the better it gets...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is soooo great, I teared up the entire album. I felt her pain and the joy of her new start and got goosebumps several times. I mean, if you are here for the ratings, stop right there!!! JUST GO LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE. ICU touched my heart with all the story behind the track. This song with Ariana Grande got stuck in my mind like a gum. The art of starting over is ringing in my head since the first time I listened to it. If I say everything I wanted about all the songs, I will trespass the 5000 words in this review. Just go b****, listen to this, i mean, RN!!! xoxo… Expand

    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.
