DEMI Lovato

Two years after hitting us with her breakthrough album "Unbroken", with the amazing single hits like "Skyscraper" and "Give Your Heart a Break", it has been quite a journey for Lovato. Being a judge on X-Factor, has made her becoming one of the most recognizable figure last year. With her accomplishments and her courageous story on staying strong and be the inspiration, she has returned to the music scene with another hit album, simply titled "DEMI".

Don't judge the book by its cover. Don't judge the album from the simple title and artwork. In fact, this album is packed with a lot of songs that scream Top 40 hit. The album also showcases her grown vocal chops on several songs and broaden her musical range for the fans to listen. Take a hear on the lead single "Heart Attack", the angsty pop song with EDM influences taking defences on falling in love that also made it as her first top 10 hit on Billboard Hot 100, after "Skyscraper" did in 2011. The live performances of the song has also got me at hello. She is one of the most talented woman in the industry. Kelly Clarkson and Pink must have been so proud.

The second single, " Made in the USA" is one of the catchiest tracks in this album. Lovato sings on how their love was "Made is the US". In contrasr to the first lead single, she sings on protecting her love and no matter what people say, she wants him back. Fierce! The vocal chops isn't as angsty as the lead single, but I would really hoped for another top 10 hit for her. She can really hit the notes so confidently in every songs, and her control is unbelievably powerful. That's the way to do it, Demi!

I like all of the songs in this album, but there are some songs that I think will be a big hit from this album. Here's my top 5 list of songs that should be released as next singles:

5. Neon Lights
Neon Lights is one of the generic love songs that will be a surefire hit for Demi. Although I dislike the same old dance music monotone sound that dominates the song, I feel that the vocals really stand out and the song runs in the same vein as in her 2011 song "Unbroken". Definite contender but not my most favo.

4. Never Been Hurt
This song stucks on repeat in my playlist because Demi soars in this track. The strong Pop Rock and EDM songs may remind us of "Heart Attack" 2.0, but I think it's that formula that makes Demi rocks. With a nice Music Video and Live, I wouldn't complain if this is a bigger hit than Heart Attack.

3. In Case
This is one of the ballads that I can relate with. The simplicity of the melodies and making Demi stands out in vocals. As much as we want Demi be the rocka chick. Maybe she should consider this as the fall release, just in case.

2. Really Don't Care
People has been talking about this collabo for quite some time. I personally like it, but not too crazy on it. But I can say that this song as a potential to be a summer hit. I wish that Cher would sing a little bit more in this track, then it'd be perfect. I imagine this music video will be a lot of "balls, balloons and paints" which equals a lot of fun. I would really be crazy if Demi would play dressing up for the music video.

1. Nightingale
This song screams Tinkerbell soundtrack to me. Which is GREAT. I've been trying to search for the "Gift of a Friend 2.0". Expect the same theme but different story. I would really love Demi to take creative control on the music video. if not, let's just apply the song as the soundtrack for Tinkerbell or Avatar 2.0. I hate this high quality song to be wasted on just being an album track. The climax part with choir added more goosebumps to the song. Like this!!!!

Her album is available NOW!!! Go grab it and listen to the amazing songs yall!!
