Oct 2, 2017The songs aren’t hackwork--they’re catchy and funny and sexy and daring.
-
Oct 2, 2017The best parts of the album are on the first half and showcase Lovato’s swagger, especially the standout gospel-tinged title track.
-
Oct 4, 2017This is where Tell Me You Love Me improves on Lovato’s previous albums: It gives you enough space to see Demi as something other than a no-holds-barred belter.
-
Oct 2, 2017Although there are ghosts of traditional soul threaded through the record, the production is firmly modern, filled with electronic flair and allusions to hip-hop rhythms. It's a sound that suits Lovato, who has never positioned herself as a retro-soul singer but has repurposed older sounds for a fresh audience.
-
Oct 4, 2017The LP gets bogged down in chilled-out trap pop (see the Lil Wayne-assisted "Lonely"). But slow jams like "Concentrate" perfectly balance the downtempo and the energetic.
-
Oct 2, 2017Unfortunately, an excess of downtempo tracks mires Tell Me You Love Me's momentum in its second half, concluding with a pair of refreshing but nearly identical back-to-back acoustic-driven R&B songs that might as well be a medley.
