    Este álbum de Demi Lovato es muy ya que muestra su lado más vulnerable y muestra su verdadera voz y habla de temas que son muy personales para ella. Realmente disfruto escuchar su música

    depois de nos apresentar uma obra prima que foi o Tell Me You Love Me, Demi volta quase quatro anos depois e faz o que todo mundo queria: se superar. Demetria com toda certeza se superou e nos mostrou seu trabalho mais coeso.

Dividido entre o "prelude" e o "the art of starting over", Demi, e 3 músicas, nos apresenta a parte mais pesada de sua trajetória desde a overdose; seguindo para a "intro", Demi discorre sobre "dançar com o demônio" e ficacr cega, se despir de sua antiga pele e recomeçar, falando que essa é a arte de recomeçar (the art of starting over). A partir daí, Demi mostra uma parte mais "descontraída" e chega com participações de artistas como Ariana Grande, Sam Fischer, Noah Cyrus e Saweetie… Expand

    Beautiful album. I loved HOLY FVCK and did not expect nearly as much from this one, but I believe it brought nearly as much. I’ve found myself constantly streaming this throughout the New Year. Highly recommend.

    O álbum mais diferente que a Demi já fez e com certeza o melhor! Do início ao fim todas as músicas são cativantes parece que te transporta para outro mundo com uma realidade diferente, e o que falar dos vocais surpreendentemente lindo, entrou na minha lista de favoritos.

    É incrível sua capacidade de transformar toda sua dor em arte e fazer com que seja ouvida. Sem dúvidas, é uma das maiores vozes da geração e uma das maiores intérpretes.

    Gorgeous vocals especially on "good place",admirable concept just a bit overstuffed. This album is Demi trying and honestly damn near winning. It's features detract at times but never long enough for it to become a problem. It's accompanying film is just further proof that this version of Demi is a result of hard work and growth.

    apesar de não ser um álbum tão alegre, as baladas te fazem pensar bem sobre tudo o que essa pequena pessoa passou durante sua trajetória, amei o álbum

    Um álbum completo que conta a história marcante da cantora, e da pra ver nitidamente os dois pontos que o álbum se propõe a ter.

    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.
