    Her willingness to own every step and misstep, and to show her audience how the rough times helped her become the woman she is, makes Confident a surprisingly compelling listen.

    Confident, released by Disney’s Hollywood Records, bursts with titanic melodies from songwriters like Max Martin and Ryan Tedder, and the 23-year-old’s unstoppable vocal power imbues these songs with an exciting rock & roll edge.

    The cumulative result is a messy, colorful modern pop record that is greater than the sum of its parts.

    Demi Lovato's fifth studio LP is the album she was born to make: a brassy, sleek, dynamic pop production that lets her powerful voice soar to new emotional highs.

    Too often equating emotion with shouting (see the final third of Father), Confident doesn’t quite elevate Lovato to where she needs to be.

    Nothing else on Confident is quite as much fun [as Cool For The Summer], but Lovato's intensity never wavers as the album alternates between trap-influenced midtempo tracks like the Iggy Azalea-assisted 'Kingdom Come' and bombastic power ballads that show off her mighty vocals.

    Lovato mistakes the ability to cram as many syllables as possible into each word with virtuosity. And the album likewise mistakes overwrought for confident.

I mean, it's incredible because the architecture of the sequence of the songs... You start listening to the hit singles "Confident" and "Cool For The Summer" and then all brokes with the incredible "For You" which takes me to paradise with the incredible vocals and then it comes "Stone Cold" a HUGE ballad from the album, I mean, this is gonna be the best single choice of the Album. I think US don't know Demi at all and she can make them now by this track. "Kingdom Come" isn't one of my favorites but sounds great when you listen to a night party. "Wildfire" and "Waitin For You" are two tracks that are awesome, that further we have a Grammy Winner "Sirah" on WTF and that angelical whistle tone on Wildfire. My favorite song by far is " Yes" not only because of the vocals but also for musical arrangement and the music theme.… Expand
