    Here comes Demi again trying her best. But she fails again. I get it she’s been through some tough times we all have but her milking this overdoes is sick. The only song on this album worth a listen is the one with Ariana and even that one is so repetitive. Noah Cyrus sounds good on her feature but still trash.

    E um álbum que conta uma historia completa e fecha um ciclo. Ao ouvir o album na ordem você consegue sentir e caminhas com a Demi por todo seu processo de recuperação, mas de uma forma leve e tranquila.

    im so impressed... she's so pure and honest, it doesn't matter to me her mistakes or how much times she relapsed, she doesn't have to be a role model, i don't even want her to be. the thing that keeps me loving her is how much she's honest. it's how she is willing to share the truth even if her truth changed, even if people don't like it. and talk about her vocals i mean GIRLLLLLL reallyim so impressed... she's so pure and honest, it doesn't matter to me her mistakes or how much times she relapsed, she doesn't have to be a role model, i don't even want her to be. the thing that keeps me loving her is how much she's honest. it's how she is willing to share the truth even if her truth changed, even if people don't like it. and talk about her vocals i mean GIRLLLLLL really I'm in love with demi lovato Expand

    incredible, impeccable work, we see that Demi Lovato made her album light even though the lyrics are a little heavier, the light beats of the song only makes the album even better to hear

    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.
