Demi Lovato's new album, "Unbroken", dropped on Tuesday, September 20th. It quickly shot to the number one spot on iTunes and has fans and critics alike praising Lovato for her powerhouse vocals.
This long awaited album did not disappoint with its pop rock and lyrical infusion tunes. Half of the album are the type of songs you want to blast in your car while driving around aimlessly with your friends trying to find something to do(maybe that's just me and my friends); and the other half is a series of beautifully arranged songs with lyrics that you will bound to be belting out in your spare time.
Last year, Lovato went through some personal issues that landed her in a rehab for three months. She got out of rehab in January and revealed that she suffers from Bullimia and she is Bipolar. These personal struggles did not stop Demi, as she stepped back out into the public eye stronger than ever, told her story to her legions of supportive and anxious fans, and got back to work finishing her third studio album with Disney's Hollywood Records.
While many are bowing down to the young star for her comeback, others think she could have taken the album to another level. The Huffington Post's music review says, "I'm skipping "Unbroken" because musically it's no different from the hundreds of other formulaic factory albums that numb my brain. Still, I'm looking forward to hearing the artist Demi Lovato will become once she cuts the final Disney cord."
Personally, I can not get enough of this album. The more upbeat songs are fun and catchy and are perfect to dance to. But what really has me sold on this album is Demi's more lyrical and softer songs. These songs are the ones that have you listening carefully to the lyrics in fear of missing something else she has to say. Those songs really help you understand Demi as not only as the "cookie cutter" Disney pop star she has become known for being, but as a young woman going through personal struggles like many young women, who just happens to be in the public eye.
I am not a big fan of any of the Disney stars AT ALL but this entry really intrigued me-- I'm definitely going to check out this album the second I get a chance! Great post!
