    It's a really personal album, we can see clearly that her voice is getting better and more versatile.
    In a 19 songs álbum it never got monotonous or boring

    I’ve been following Demi since her Cool For The Summer/Confident era. TMYLM is her best effort yet. Unfortunately this album really falls short. It’s a more mature, diverse approach but overall, nothing stands out. The track list is a mess, the album photo shoot is uninspiring and confusing (what is she wearing??). The album title is also way too long, just pick one or the other.

    Lovato has truly overstayed her welcome, at least in terms of putting out albums that move you. The vim and vigor which so characterized her early work is largely absent. It almost feels as if she's going through the motions - it's corporatized. I wish she's returned to that stripped down, essentially progression that she used to write in her early days.

    after reading the lyrics of each song we have to say that Demi Lovato is really overrated as a singer, considering she doesn’t write her own songs. It’s like a tattoo artists that doesn’t draw their own tattoos, reason as to why Taylor is better than her. Please

    Also it’s pretty sad that Demi needs to release a new documentary to talk about her same old problems everytime she releases a new album, desperate much?

    Muito embora a Demi tenha passado por muita coisa, não acredito que ela seja a melhor se expressando liricamente sobre o assunto, mesmo com uma equipe de compositores trabalhando com ela, somente as duas primeiras faixas oferecem algo mais pessoal, intimista, de restante poderiam ser escritas de qualquer pessoa passando ou superando uma fase difícil.

A produção tal qual as letras são rasas e o que se destaca de vez em quando são os vocais da demi. Nenhuma das colaborações trouxe algo de muito primordial ou cristalino.

    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.
