    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.

    One of Demi's best albums, to this day I can't stop listening to it. My faves: "The Way You Don't Look At Me", "What Other People Say", "Lonely People" and "Good Place"

    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.
