Pero como podemos ver en gran mayoría este álbum es ARTE, no es música comercial, esto es ARTE que nos han regalado, letras sinceras y hermosas. Y para todos aquellos que no han escuchado las canciones y califican (haters) por favor dense el tiempo de escuchar y disfrutar, y no sean envidiosos en desmeritar el trabajo de Demi que incluso creo que nadie puede hacer este trabajo que hace ella con amor para todos. Dejen la envidia de lado y sean más críticos y lógicos. No queda más que decir, solo que AMO ESTE ÁLBUM como muchos. Gracias Demi por tanto ❤️.… Expand

    In this album she isn't belting in all hers songs and trying to sing in the top of her vocal range. She's working with other registers that she has. It's nice to listen how she grew up in this area and how she could show us for everything she's gone through with her soft voice. Great work!

    This album surpasses all my expectations. Demi explores her voice in a different way and sound, taking the listener in a amazing journey of feelings and great vocals — i'm also acknowledging her vocal versatility, which is way better shown than in her other albums, which were more concentrated in one specific and different type of sound.

    Simplesmente perfeito!
    A batida da música em sincronia perfeita com a voz dela, é divino. Sua voz parece que foi feita por deuses em dias de alegria. As letras tocantes, e ela com certeza colocou sua alma para fazê-las. Demi Lovato canta com a alma, você consegue sentir isso.

    Truth speaks the album and that alone shows how Demi catapulted it as one of the strongest albums of 2021! We're happy we got to see her growth and art of starting over after almost 4 years of no music!

    Cada faixa é única, as 3 primeiras são contem um significado bem forte. A divisão feita pela intro que logo depois apresentam faixas mais leves realmente nos mostra como se fosse uma trilha sonora

    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.
