    Lovato's take on "California Dream Pop" takes on a more mature sound, her kaleidoscopic aesthetic coupled with hard-hitting lyrics encompassing of trauma, pain, hardship and as the title suggests; starting over. Lovato's relatability crowns her as a constant among her peers in the music artistry ; simultaneously setting her apart from monotonic pop endeavors of other Disney Alumni.

    The best way to put it, is that Demi laid a foundation for themselves as to why they’re a versatile artist, each song tells a story, especially Melon Cake which tackles a real life story on how they couldn’t have cake for their birthday due to their old management emotionally and mentally abusing them, as well as The Way You Don’t Look at Me with it’s powerful yet tearjerking opener “I’veThe best way to put it, is that Demi laid a foundation for themselves as to why they’re a versatile artist, each song tells a story, especially Melon Cake which tackles a real life story on how they couldn’t have cake for their birthday due to their old management emotionally and mentally abusing them, as well as The Way You Don’t Look at Me with it’s powerful yet tearjerking opener “I’ve lost 10 pounds in two weeks.” The most vulnerable song would have to be ICU (Madison’s Lullaby) in which Demi tellers the listener how after their near fatal OD they suffered temporary blindness but managed to remember their little sister’s voice to keep fighting.

    What is this album? You would think that after releasing previous rubbish albums before this one she would’ve learnt her lesson. Where’s the creativity, where’s the talent? They’re no where to be seen just like no good songs on this album are nowhere to be seen. Disappointed to say the least

    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.
