    The midtempos allow Demi to show extraordinary vulnerability and showcase their voice in a different way than they used to. The sound of this album is refreshing and at the same time fragile, amazing.

    Lovato's take on "California Dream Pop" takes on a more mature sound, her kaleidoscopic aesthetic coupled with hard-hitting lyrics encompassing of trauma, pain, hardship and as the title suggests; starting over. Lovato's relatability crowns her as a constant among her peers in the music artistry ; simultaneously setting her apart from monotonic pop endeavors of other Disney Alumni.

    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.
  3. Apr 8, 2021

    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.
