    innovative, exciting, exciting, with a touch of criticism Demi has outdone herself like never before, the album is pleasant to listen to and at the same time encouraging, you can clearly see that there is a lot of her in the album, it's not just any album with boring, common songs anymore and commercials (with the aim of just pumping on the radio), i loved

    Demi returns to their musical roots - a stronger, fiercer warrior than before. Zane Lowe really spilled the tea in their latest podcast together which really distinguished what it meant to be a celebrity/public figure and a singer.

Zane Lowe really spilled the tea in their latest podcast together which really distinguished what it meant to be a celebrity/public figure and a singer. Truth is, a powerful singer is going to need powerful lyrics and HOLY FVCK really delivered on that aspect. Ending with 4 EVER 4 ME meant a lot to me; for it is my own song for escapism, reminding me of the innocence of childhood and the hope I had as a young kid, and the healing I needed to go through to be the person I am today. I continue to find myself resonating with Demi’s work, despite the shift in genre, and ultimately, there is nothing more uplifting than to hear the voice of an artist who is free, happy, and comfortable in being able to produce music that is true to who they are. Demi doesn’t need trophies to show how big of a rockstar and talented versatile musician they are.. after all everyone has an opinion and mine is that HOLY FVCK is an impressive body of work that makes me feel seen, and that scars can ultimately heal.

    A complete masterpiece. This is definitely Lovato's best album to date. Demi has proved that rock and punk is their genre. "COME TOGETHER" and "HAPPY ENDING" are some of the album's strongest points, but I had a hard time defining my favorite tracks; all of them are insane.

    A fantastic, timeless classic album. Demi has always excelled in rock music. The honesty and the melodies in this album are phenomenal. The vocals astonishing as always. Some may not like the ability to hold notes or sing high notes, personally, I love it and Demi’s ability is power and it should be celebrated.
    This album has everything, anger, emotion, happiness, love, independence, raw

Some may not like the ability to hold notes or sing high notes, personally, I love it and Demi’s ability is power and it should be celebrated.
    This album has everything, anger, emotion, happiness, love, independence, raw grit, sex, flirtation, darkness, light and power. I can’t pick a favourite song, but I know I could divide the album into categories dependent on what mood I’m in. Or continue to enjoy it as a body of work.

    The love songs are so well done. The hard rock theme is so so damn well done too. Thank you Demi? Here’s to the future!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Demi Lovato’s latest album is their best to date. Demi Lovato’s past fifteen years of fame and success have procured eight impeccable studio albums, as well as several droplet eras. Demi’s talent has always been undeniable. After battling for years with bad press, an eating disorder, and the 2018 opioid overdose that nearly claimed their life, Demi has been working tirelessly to claim their power back and find who they truly are. The first two albums were pop and rock, and the five following it were pop and r&b, including their 2021 release of a 22-track record. However, in the process of reclaiming their power and self-discovery, Demi has returned to their rock roots for this eight album, pulling out their famously accredited vocals and lyrics to create their best album by far, which says a lot considering the sheer power and talent radiating from the previous seven albums. No longer living their life for others, for headlines, or for charts, Demi is bearing all in this record with a new, more authentic flare that portrays the journey they intend to take in the future. In this rock album, Demi pulls out the high notes, the emotionally vulnerable and relatable lyrics, pure honesty, and an excellent sense of who Demi is as a person and an artist. This album stands out amongst the others as being unapologetic and feeling as though Demi is coming home after a long time to give an overview of who they are now. From love songs like “4 EVER 4 ME” to absolute anthemic headbangers like “EAT ME,” Demi embodies the qualities of a true rock artist. Not only is this Demi’s best album, but it is also one of the best rock albums of all time. Nobody else could create this masterpiece of a record, as the vocals alone are insane enough to merit appraise. Creating anthems that speak from the heart and carry heavy meanings (“29,” “SUBSTANCE,” “DEAD FRIENDS”), as well as empowering sex songs (“BONES,” “COME TOGETHER,” “HEAVEN”), the journey of this album is the most accurate portrayal of who Demi is. This album is a must-listen, and Demi’s upcoming tour is a must-see, and Demi is a must-stan. True power. True talent. Truly Demi. Can’t wait to see where Demi goes next. Expand

    De fato, esse é o melhor projeto musical de Demi Lovato. E nem digo porque sou fã. É notório perceber a inovação de "comeback" as raízes da cantora, transformando seus sentimentos de raiva e empoderamento em canções inéditas e diferentes de qualquer uma em toda sua carreira. É um projeto ÚNICO.
    P.S.: Infelizmente, a segunda fã-base de Demi Lovato está rebaixando as notas do álbum, mas

    Chaotic, energised and thrilling, this is Demi Lovato at her very best.

    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.
