    The only good song is the Ariana collaboration. The album is meh, goes to show how comeback albums can be lacklustre.

    So bad, 3 yo hiatus for nothing, demi should grow up as an artist instead of making the same songs all over again

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The lyrics on this album are very good, I think Demi has grown up as singer, artistically and as human. But there’s so many song kinda boring. For me, 19 song are a lot, not for being 19, just because I think this same album with 11 or 12 song would have been awesome. “Mad world” is unnecessary, also Good Place, My girlfriend is my boyfriend, Met him last night, dancing with the devil, etc. But songs like Anyone, easy, what other people say, the way you don’t look at me are pure masterpieces! From 19 I just liked 10 songs. Therefore, I will give it “5”. Half of rating for the half of album. Remember, QUANTITY IS NOT QUALITY. Waiting ya, for the next one! ❤️ Expand

    I don’t recommend this album... this album is a mess and one of the songs is not original but a cover, such a waste of time...

    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

    It’s like a tattoo artists that doesn’t draw their own tattoos, reason as to why Taylor is better than her. Please use your time better and listen to the 2021 Grammy’s Album Of The Year folklore by Taylor Swift.

    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?

    Demi Lovato es una mujer muy talentosa, lastima que su escandalosa y ridícula forma de ser eclipse irremediablemente su carrera musical pesando mas sus quejas acerca de todo que sus discos.

    Demi can do it better. A few songs are really great, but most of the stuff is just boring. I‘m sorry.

    The best album off all time. The lyrics, vocals, production, cohesion all tell a story. This album will be enjoyed not only by fans, but people who have not really listened to Demi

    One of the best album released in the last few years, it is raw, emotional, fun and upbeat and brings back an early 2000s sounds.

    O amadurecimento, não apenas em sua arte mas em sua voz, faz com que Demi pareça outra pessoa. Esse álbum é simplesmente perfeito, difícil escolher apenas uma como favorita.

    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.
