While observing the cover art, her beautiful, sharp facial features embody the whole physical album space. I love how she incorporates black and white color to signify something deeper and original, or something more traditional and retro. On her wrist and hand, you can see her noticeable tattoos.

When listening to the album, I am exposed to her first song, “Sorry Not Sorry.” Her soulful voice and her semi-loud holler create an aura of assertiveness and courage. I enjoy the background vocals that support and mesh with her overpowering voice. The piano chords and the gospel choir, who often echo back her words, elicit a sense of jazzy and emotional energy. As for “Tell Me You Love Me,” the tune is much more profound in terms of its message. Lovato expresses her deepest desires and feelings. “Sexy Dirty Love” caught my eye as I glanced the tracklist. The title drew me into curiousness. The song ultimately did not disappoint me. I felt in a realm of bliss and temptation. Fusing the electronic beats and her contagiously energizing voice, the current of the song is one of upbeatness and electricity. My body keeps moving to the groove. In summation, I enjoyed the album, and it’s good to have the new yet original Demi Lovato back from her brief hiatus from music.
