Demi Lovato - Tell Me You Love Me

It's been almost a month since Demi Lovato's sixth studio album was released and after extensive listening I can finally conclude that it is Pop Music at its finest.

I have always been very harsh on Demi's previous albums simply because vocally she is one of the strongest in the industry. With that being said her albums always seemed to just fall short of chart topping success. I thought her last album "Confident" was going to be the album to bring out her best performance, turns out we had to wait for her sixth attempt before she got it right.

"Tell Me You Love Me" does everything I have always wanted from her. Soulful yet still catchy. Deep but still fun enough to blast on the radio.

I was skeptical with the release of "Sorry Not Sorry" as the lead single because it didn't show me anything new from Demi. However, the second single and title track "Tell Me You Love Me" proved that this album was going to be different. With blaring trumpets, it's reminiscent of "Confident". It shows Demi's voice at its strongest and the backing choir only helps to make Demi shine.

The third promotional single is "Sexy Dirty Love". This song has an early 00s R&B vibe which I appreciate and it's very radio friendly.

"You Don't Do It for Me Anymore" shows off Lovato's vocal abilities with beautiful high notes. She also shows her ability to restrain her voice which gives a vulnerability to the track. This song has elements of R&B and soul which is a nice change for a pop album.

The most interesting song on this album is "Daddy Issues". The beat sounds like a typical bubblegum pop radio hit but what makes it so strange is the lyrics. It's possibly the deepest song on the album. With lines such as "You're the man of my dreams 'cause you know how to leave", the song dives into the reason why Demi is attracted to the wrong men. Definitely a stand-out song on this album.

Other solid performances are "Only forever" and "Lonely" which has an unneeded Lil Wayne feature.

Even though this album is brilliant it isn't without faults. "Concentrate" and "Hitchhiker" while not bad songs, it doesn't quite reach the level of the rest of the album and feels like filler tracks.

"Tell Me You Love Me" is a beautiful depiction of how Demi Lovato has grown since her last album. Musically, lyrically and vocally it is a huge improvement from her other work. For any doubters, this album has definitely solidified her popstar status.
