    Happy ending is definitely one of the best songs I've ever heard. Holy Fvck is a journey of the strongest emotions, anger, sadness, sexuality and love. Demi really did well this time

    I agree with NME because ‘Holy Fvck’ is a funeral for Lovato’s pop music. It also marks a new beginning, with an artist reborn. As the musician explores this ferocious sonic world and celebrating her musical roots, it’s the start of a bold new era.

It also marks a new beginning, with an artist reborn. As the musician explores this ferocious sonic world and celebrating her musical roots, it’s the start of a bold new era. Demi has been and perhaps will always be a polarizing and confusing figure in pop culture who suffers from being over exposed,experiencing her worst moments publicly. But with holy fvck she address those duplicities by taking power away from instances where she wasn't allowed any such as the album higlights "29" which admonishes the inappropriate longterm relationship she had with the historic predator Willmar Valderrama whos 12 year age gap was a means to manipulate the then vulnerable drug addicted Demi. It's a sobering moment in lieu of a recent wave of anti-stautory pop song (eg. Your power by Billie ellish or favorite crime by Olivia Rodrigo to name a few). The lead single "skin on my teeth " is a hot pop punk number that nearly achieves the grit it claims to have. This feels like the rage to dancing with the devils acceptance. If you didn't like her previous stuff this record will not change your mind on that but if you did it will be a respectable step forward for her.… Expand

    Pretty average. Not a bad album, it actually feels like Demi is being honest and vulnerable, but the lyrics are kinda weak and the whole aesthetic is way to heavy, whereas the songs are not that profound. Again, not bad, just not that good.

    Very mixed feelings about this album, which is a shame because Skin of My Teeth and 29, I was a big fan. Substance I can't lie is a very cliché song and poorly written. There are some highlights on the album such as Freak, City of Angels, Wasted and Come Together. But there is a lot of filler such as Substance, Holy F, Eat Me and Bones.

But there is a lot of filler such as Substance, Holy F, Eat Me and Bones. It's odd because at face value DWTD...TAOSO was a better album on first listen but has since aged poorly with newer information. I just feel like Demi hasn't had a really cohesive record since her golden eras of Confident and Tell Me You Love Me. Maybe this album will grow over time.… Expand

    Vocais impecáveis mas algumas músicas não me prenderam tanto quanto os outros álbuns de Demi. Happy Ending e City of Angels ponto alto do Holy Fvck.

    It gets better with a few listens, but I had higher expectations. Demi proved one more time that she can do more than pop music. This rock/pop mix is good. Tracks like substances, 29 and come together are soo good. And than you have tracks like freak and bones - those are underwhelming. Anyways - a good album.

    I like substance. It's fun, have some double meaning. I understand how important this album is for her

    Back to their roots like their first 2 albums! It really gives the feel of Don't Forget and Here We Go Again. Demi was 15/16 at that time and listening to their new album Holy Fvck felt like I was thrown back in time, I myself feel a teen again listening to this album. Love the heavy rock vibe and it's an all around amazing album, welcome back Demi!

    O álbum com letras muito bem feitas, arranjos e melodias, mais não me agradou no geral n consegui ouvir o álbum inteiro. Mais em termos musical está bom.

    HOLY FVCK's songwriting lets down the majority of the record alongside its slightly mediocre pop rock sound. Although its sound suits Demi very well, the album just feels like a recent Avril Lavigne record and it doesn't add much to the table. HOLY FVCK could've easily become the best album of the year, but it was let down by the drastic, over dramatic change in image and personality.

    Coerente, profundo, sexy e raivoso, Holy Fvck é de longe, o melhor álbum de Demi Lovato! A sonoridade nós transporta para um rock que Demi sempre demonstrou ser sua raiz e que é muito bem executado com vocais potentes e uma banda que se destaca com personalidade.

    I think Demi's pop era was much more interesting, the genre of this album for her doesn't fit that well, it just doesn't have the same glow. I miss the Confident album era

    Her voice is made for pop rock!! She took risks and I'm not disappointed she managed to transport us to her universe but I find it a little too repetitive

    The album is not bad at all, but is not good neither, some songs like 29, SOMT, or SUBSTANCE are good, but otherwise songs like HOLY FVCK, or HELP ME are really bad, anyway is my opinion.

    songs are good, it’s just her voice is a bit too piercing for me. a solid effort though. much better than her last album in terms of lyrical content.

    Lovato is fervent in bringing his rock origins into this album. Holy Fvck brings all strength, love and freedom from its new phase after embracing its darkness and dealing with light

    Back to her roots but her themes are so monotone and nothing surprising coming from her. Her fans have been waiting for a record like tell me you love me, yet she just keeps disappointing with recycled pop rock tracks with less than 3 minutes of duration

    Ok but not that good. I immediately thought of a more mature Avril Lavigne, but the lyrics are sometimes very much on the border of the tolerable.

    If anything, Holy Fvck proves that maybe it was Lovato’s pop albums that were the fluff, and this is the substance they’ve been looking for.

    Holy Fvck has its flaws – Lovato’s powerful voice is unnecessarily finessed and Auto-Tuned, and 16 tracks is too long. But its gutsy ambition is a thing of substance in and of itself.
