    Demi is in their best era, a true singer! They deserve all de success, I can’t wait to see what’s coming next.

    Ok but not that good. I immediately thought of a more mature Avril Lavigne, but the lyrics are sometimes very much on the border of the tolerable.

    Back to their roots like their first 2 albums! It really gives the feel of Don't Forget and Here We Go Again. Demi was 15/16 at that time and listening to their new album Holy Fvck felt like I was thrown back in time, I myself feel a teen again listening to this album. Love the heavy rock vibe and it's an all around amazing album, welcome back Demi!

    Pretty average. Not a bad album, it actually feels like Demi is being honest and vulnerable, but the lyrics are kinda weak and the whole aesthetic is way to heavy, whereas the songs are not that profound. Again, not bad, just not that good.

    Coerente, profundo, sexy e raivoso, Holy Fvck é de longe, o melhor álbum de Demi Lovato! A sonoridade nós transporta para um rock que Demi sempre demonstrou ser sua raiz e que é muito bem executado com vocais potentes e uma banda que se destaca com personalidade.

    I think Demi's pop era was much more interesting, the genre of this album for her doesn't fit that well, it just doesn't have the same glow. I miss the Confident album era

    I agree with NME because ‘Holy Fvck’ is a funeral for Lovato’s pop music. It also marks a new beginning, with an artist reborn.

Demi has been and perhaps will always be a polarizing and confusing figure in pop culture who suffers from being over exposed,experiencing her worst moments publicly. But with holy fvck she address those duplicities by taking power away from instances where she wasn't allowed any such as the album higlights "29" which admonishes the inappropriate longterm relationship she had with the historic predator Willmar Valderrama whos 12 year age gap was a means to manipulate the then vulnerable drug addicted Demi. It's a sobering moment in lieu of a recent wave of anti-stautory pop song (eg. Your power by Billie ellish or favorite crime by Olivia Rodrigo to name a few). The lead single "skin on my teeth " is a hot pop punk number that nearly achieves the grit it claims to have. This feels like the rage to dancing with the devils acceptance. If you didn't like her previous stuff this record will not change your mind on that but if you did it will be a respectable step forward for her. Expand

    Love Demi vocally! Personally, I’m not sure if rock is her genre. While the music sounds ok aesthetically, I can’t decipher whether if she’s singing, or screaming. Some of her best work lies with ballads and emotional pieces. Maybe it’ll grow in me, but for now, not a fan of this particular work.

    The album is different, but she is trying too much to show that she changed. I find this album just like an attempt of an ex Disney girl who released a rock album just to show that she's changed. The sound is pretty old and commercial. Nothing to be excited about.

    I’ve been listening to Demi Lovato since her Disney Years and while she has one of the greatest voices, this new album falls flat in several instances.

    The return to Rock feels inauthentic and forced and the lyrics are a vast disappointment and lack of sense as to what the album means. The shock value for the sake of attention is highly clear and it takes away from the beautiful vocals

    None of the songs are catchy or memorable enough to give a second listen. It will be interesting to see if the general public embraces this new “edgy” sound or if they will see behind the curtain.

Did not enjoy one song off of this album. Will not be supporting any future Demi Lovato they/them releases in the future. Selena Gomez is much better than this nonbinary spoon lighter.

Her ugly voice was terribly mixed with the low quality instrumentals, the lyrics don’t make sense at all, and the tracklist is a whole mess. 0/10 never listening again. I prefer her older albums like Born To Die and Ultraviolence.

    If anything, Holy Fvck proves that maybe it was Lovato’s pop albums that were the fluff, and this is the substance they’ve been looking for.

    Holy Fvck has its flaws – Lovato’s powerful voice is unnecessarily finessed and Auto-Tuned, and 16 tracks is too long. But its gutsy ambition is a thing of substance in and of itself.
