Demi: Album Review

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Riverside chapter.

Last week, Demi Lovato released her 4th studio album entitled “Demi”. For those who are fans of the artist, you would think that it’s her best album yet. For those who have yet to give Demi a chance, you will not be disappointed with her recent album. There is a song for everyone’s mood. Songs like “Made in the U.S.A.” and “Something That We’re Not” are songs perfect for a drive in the car with your friends. Cher Lloyd even makes an appearance on the album by providing  a sassy hook to the song “Really Don’t Care”, a track that can be comparable to Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You). Ballads like “In Case” and “Shouldn’t Come Back” show Demi’s vulnerability as well as showcase her unbelievable vocals. The most notable ballad on the album is her final track titled “Warrior”. She revisits the idea of overcoming her obstacles similar to the ideals she wrote about in “Skyscraper” on her last album “Unbroken”. Demi has great flair in delivering the simplest lyrics and providing a great amount of meaning behind them through her singing ability.

Here are some of my favorite lines from each track:

 

1.     Heart Attack

“Its just not fair/ Pain’s more trouble than love is worth/ I gasp for air, It feels so good but you know it hurts”.

 

2.     Made In The USA

“Our love runs deep like a chevy/ If you fall I’ll fall for you baby”.

 

3.     Without The Love

“Why are we acting like lovers?/ We don’t know each other/ Even though we used to rule the world”.

 

4.     Neon Lights

“You’re all I see in all these places/ You’re all I see these faces/ So lets pretend we’re running out of time”.

5.     Two Pieces

“We don’t know where to go/ So I’ll just get lost with you/ We’ll never fall apart/ Coz we fit together like/ Two pieces of a broken heart”.

 

6.     Nightingale

“I never see the forest for the trees/ I could really use your melody/ Baby I’m a little blind/ I think its time for you to find me”.

 

7.     In Case

“Strong enough to leave you/ But weak enough to need you/ Cared enough to let you walk away”.

 

8.     Really Don’t Care

“Now if we meet out on the street I won’t be running scared/ I’ll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air”.

 

9.     Fire Starter

“I’m a badass jumping off a moving train/ I’m a Jane Bond putting all them guys to shame/ I’m a wild card/ I’m about to steal your game”.

 

10. Something That We’re Not

“I should’ve known when I got you alone/ That you were way too into me to know/ This isn’t love boy this aint even close”.

11. Never Been Hurt

“It comes back and haunts me/ A bullet under cover it fooled me every time”.

 

12. Shouldn’t Come Back

“Sorry, I’m not sorry for the times I don’t reply/ You know the reason why”.

 

13. Warrior

“All the pain and the truth, I wear like a battle wound/ So ashamed/ So confused/ I was broken and bruised/ And now I’m a warrior, now I’ve got thicker skin”.
