Demi Lovato’s latest release, Unbroken, is garnering lots of attention thanks to its catchy tracks and empowering message. Beyond co-signs from Lovatics and a number of celebrities, including Ashley Greene, Sean Kingston and even Joe Jonas, it’s also received great reviews from the hardest people to please: the critics. But Lovato isn’t paying attention to any of it. She told MTV News she’s more focused on the here and now and the excitement of having a whole new crop of music for everyone to hear.
“I haven’t actually looked at any of the critics or reviews,” she said. “So, if they’re good, awesome; if they’re bad, whatever.”
According to reports, despite some stiff competition on the charts from the likes of Tony Bennett and Lady Antebellum, Lovato is still expected to sell pretty big. Billboard.com reports that she’ll likely sell about 110,000 copies of her album, besting her previous chart-topping release, 2009′s Here We Go Again, which sold slightly less with 108,000.
“I’m feeling really excited,” Lovato said. “The album just came out, so we’re really, really excited. And it seems to be doing well, so I’m really, really happy.”
Now that the album is getting some love and she’s readying the release of her next single, “Who’s That Boy,” it seems like a good time to start remixing tracks. “I’d love to hear the feedback on who would want to remix,” she said. “We actually have a remix on the album by Wizz Dumb, and he remixed ‘Skyscraper,’ and it sounds really awesome. You can check that out: It’s on the album.”
If anyone would jump on the album, Lil Wayne might be just the right guy. Lovato has certainly made his track “How to Love” all her own. Of a potential collaboration, she said:
“That would be amazing. I’ve never met him in my life, so if I got to be onstage with him, I would just die.”
There should be a formula for Disney stars turned wannabe hit makers and chart-topping artists. Unlike her predecessors Hillary Duff and Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato has crafted an interesting and impressive set with Unbroken that makes a creative statement while not alienating her loyal, Disney fan base.
Unbroken is the perfect journey for a 19-year-old girl who’s still trying to find her way in a world clogged with too much emphasis on sex appeal and very little on talent. Lovato, however, breaks the mold set by current pop divas Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Ke$ha, and Katy Perry to shift the musical landscape into heartfelt and sincere songs that simply cater to the theatrical crowd.
The first four tracks are mostly star-studded affairs, but they are what help establish her journey. Also, these four tracks – “All Night Long,” “Who’s That Boy,” “You’re My Shorty,” and “Together” – are what will satisfy her built-in fan base.
With the next track comes the album’s first tear-jerking moment, “Lightweight,” and there is almost an audible, crunching shift in its tone from dance-club-ready jams to gut-wrenching and emotional performances. “I’m a lightweight, easy to fall, easy to break, with every move my world shakes,” Lovato cries in the chorus. Her emotional delivery here soaks through from a place of absolute pleading. As a highlight of Unbroken, “Lightweight,” would have been the perfect album opener, though its place in the set makes it a delightful surprise.
Taking a cue from Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale, “Unbroken,” the title track, has a cleverly delicious keyboard and electric backing. “I’m gonna love you like I’ve never been broken,” Lovato sings. Even though a brittle dance beat supports her vocals, the emotional energy punctures its way into the ear drums. A fist-pumping anthem, its lyrics are heavy and meaningful, surging through the veins. This track, in all its synthesized glory, fittingly sets up the piano-driven gem, “Fix a Heart,” which is a desperate however heartfelt plea of sorts. “I try to sever ties and I ended up with wounds to bind like you’re pouring salt in my cuts,” she swoons on the first verse. Lovato’s pain runs so deep that this soul-baring song feels like a punch in the gut. If she’s learned one thing this past year, it’s how to be brutally and often painfully honest.
Lovato continues to pour on the heavy emotional syrup with the next three tracks – “Hold Up,” “Mistake,” and “Give Your Heart a Break” – without skimping on the electrically forceful instrumentation. The album then takes on its most autobiographical tone with the climactic “Skyscraper,” which contains some of Lovato’s finest vocals to date. She pulls back, belts, and sweetly sings in all the right places to deliver the performance of her career.
“In Real Life” and “My Love is Like a Star,” despite lacking a similarly deep or emotional impact, further illustrate her growth and maturity as a credible artist. Save for the Wizz Dumb Remix of “Skyscraper,” “For the Love of a Daughter” takes a page right out of her life, closing out the album in stunning, tear-inducing style.
While Demi Lovato certainly has more growing to do, on Unbroken she suggests that over time she will prove herself more than capable. Lesser pop divas should take note from Miss Lovato she knows what she’s doing.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez shield their faces as they leave Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Thursday night (September 15).
The twosome were spotted at the Abductionpremiere in Hollywood earlier in the evening where Justin decided to slip behind the carpet and wait for his sweetheart in front of the theater.
Justin tweeted just a few days ago that he’s still working on his Christmas album: “back in the studio putting the finishing touches on this christmas album and getting the tour stuff together.”
Sitting down for a Kmart exclusive interview; Demi Lovato shares the meaning of the title of her new album, her favorite R&B artist, her musical influences growing up, and where you can see her performing next.
When fans heard that Demi Lovato would be playing two intimate shows in mid-September, they promptly bought up the tickets. Lovato’s concerts, slated for the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on September 17 and Club Nokia in Los Angeles on September 23, sold out in minutes — 30 minutes, to be exact.
When MTV News caught up with Lovato last week in Los Angeles, the singer explained that the gigs are meant to serve as a “thank-you” to her fans, who have been so supportive of her and her new music, including the chart-topping “Skyscraper.”
“It definitely is [a preview]. I wanted to say thank you to my fans,” she said. “I wanted to show them how thankful I am for the support they gave me for ‘Skyscraper.’ At this point, ‘Skyscraper’ has done so well because of them, and I want to show them how thankful I am. And hopefully when I perform the concerts, Unbroken will be coming out. I’ll be really nervous to get back onstage for the first time since then, but I’ll be really excited,” Lovato said of her new album, which drops September 20.
Does this mean that Lovato is planning a bigger tour for her Lovatics? “It could be a tease for a bigger tour. I don’t know,” she said.
In addition to “Skyscraper,” Unbroken will feature songs with Iyaz, Missy Elliott and Timbaland, Jason Derülo and Dev. It’s her first studio album release since 2009′s chart-topping Here We Go Again.

Selena Chatted with the Sun Newspaper about Harry Potter and how she would love a role:
it would be awesome (to have a cameo). I think the special effects in that are amazing. I’d love that.’ On shooting Monte Carlo:
‘We start shooting in two weeks. But I’ve already met Nicole. She’s very sweet and I’m completely honoured to work with her.’ On resting: ‘I love food and sitting on the couch. I love pickles and chips and ice-cream and hot dogs.’
On her music: ‘I wanted to take this first album (Kiss and Tell) to really learn. Going into the music world was definitely a different thing for me. It took me a while to finally get my groove and figure out where I wanted to be musically.. I definitely would love to put out another album.
The ‘Naturally’ singer is in England this week promoting her forthcoming debut album ‘Kiss & Tell’ and on Monday (April 5), she performed a sold-out show in London.
Talking about the headline concert – her first ever in the city – Selena admits that she was blown away by the reception her fans gave her.
“I have never had a show that wonderful. It was amazing,” Gomez gushed about her overseas fans. “My album’s not even out yet and everyone knew every single word to my songs.
“To be honest, I didn’t know I had fans that weren’t in America. Being able to come here and meet the people that we enjoy making laugh on our show and enjoy making music for was amazing, it was really wonderful.”
Selena, star of ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’, added: “After the show last night, I just want to live here basically! It was amazing. The audience were really appreciative of the music and my band and I, so it was really great.”
