    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best Demi Lovato's album so far. I like songs like Hitchhiker, Concentrate, Tell me you love me, Crybaby, they are just perfect. in these songs Demi focuses more on her ability to go with the flow of music and express true feelings each song represents without exaggerating it. Nevertheless, there are a lot of moments where she demonstrates her vocal range. Songs are so melodic you can't help but let them flow into your mind and soul… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Comparing to her previous albums , this one is better. Specially because I think she should stay in a path like this than going to more screaming like in her previous songs . there's some new tunes and better singing comparing to all her previous albums . New melodies might not beat her old hit songs but If I'm to pick the best album of her singing , this is the one ! Overall , it's a great album and my favorite of her .… Expand

    Demi Lovato's album, I really can not say it's not my favorite. But the details of each song and the compositions that make you have a connection to the music, simply Dei Lovato. The album is great, and incredible vocals.

    I'm so happy that she finally spoke her mind and do what she wants. Just the ending is a little bit boring. When I first listened Concentrate and Hitchhiker, I thought they are the same song. But, I'm in love with the album. The best album from her.

    Her best work so far. She deserved at least a Grammy nomination for this masterpiece.

    This is her best album so far. Demi finally found herself in the music industry, and that is great. She still commits some mistakes such as "sorry not sorry" and "games" which almost kill the main idea of the album, but still it's a great album. I hope she only improves herself from now on

    In this narrative we have Lovato showing all his prosperous love (and needing love to live). We are flesh and blood human beings, it is normal to have insecurities about the future, or even about love. This is your best and most cohesive plot that holds the listener around you, wanting to enjoy more of your artistic talent

    What can i say but a big well done to Ms. Demi Lovato for one of the best albums of 2017. Those vocals are slaying this album and also it is well produced and the running order of the tracks are well picked. I think it is her best album to date and i'm pretty sure that it will receive a grammy nomination.

    Con Tell Me You Love Me, Demi explora ritmos r&b, pop y urbanos que hacen a su voz la principal centro del disco interpolados con temas relacionados a diferentes temas amorosos desde puntos oscuros y claros.

    Demi Lovato bares her heart on the sixth studio album, Tell Me You Love Me. Billed as the pop star’s most revealing project to date, it’s also one of the most highly-anticipated releases of the year.

    Demi is finally coming out of her shell and it's great. There was a slapstick sexy feel to the album, and songs like TMYLM, Sexy Dirty Love, and Games seem to be the best tracks, the rest were fine but these are the songs that impelled me to give this album a positive score, now 2 or 3 of the songs seem outright cheesy but that's pretty normal for any pop album.

    Bops : Only forever, Tell me you love me, You don't do it for me anymore, Sorry not sorry, Lonely (without LIL Wayne)

    This album is missing a fun track but I guess that it's a breakup album so I will wait for the next one.

    Demi brings us a good record, superior to the others she has made, where she reaches maturity with a R&B style like BANKS, but more commercial. It has four songs where there is no potential, but let's hope it continues in the line of surprise.

    For most cuts, Demi sounded sure of what she needs, much more confident than her previous album, Confident. But this record sounded like her own take on the style of production like Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman or Justin Bieber’s Purpose, the only difference would be Demi’s distinct strong vocals.

    Tell Me You Love Me is a nice, fun album, with fun, catchy songs such as 'Daddy Issues' and 'Sorry not Sorry,' but also including heartbreaks like 'Only Forever' and 'Lonely.' However, many of the songs are forgettable and basic. It feels like most of the songs don't have their own meaning, with constant, repeating, messages. It's a nice album, but lacks creativity and diversity.

    What a sexy, confessional, enjoyable R&B album! And yet, her single choices were questionable.

    The LP gets bogged down in chilled-out trap pop (see the Lil Wayne-​assisted "Lonely"). But slow jams like "Concentrate" perfectly balance the downtempo and the energetic.

    This is where Tell Me You Love Me improves on Lovato’s previous albums: It gives you enough space to see Demi as something other than a no-holds-barred belter.
