kiss me quick; make it last

Disclaimer: I have a tendency to like that "pop" sound, but I appreciate all kinds of music. I am very outspoken and will speak my mind when it needs a-speaking. So if I tend to sound very biased, but that is because I am. You have to be biased if you're human, you just don't have to share it. Too bad I will...xoxo

Demi Lovato is my subject today :)

Demi Lovato is a girl from Texas, coming from a family in which her parents are divorced and she has a step dad. She has two sisters. They are all involved in Hollywood who sing, act, or all of the above. When she was younger, Lovato got her break by being on Barney. That is where she met her friend, Selena Gomez. They are still friends and both with Disney. Lovato was also a plus size model for children's clothes.

Lovato then got her huge break from Disney when she starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock, with the Jonas Brothers. She is very good friends with them and now dating Joe. She sang in that movie, creating a start for her singing career with Hollywood Records.

Lovato dropped her first album, Don't Forget, after Camp Rock came out. The Jonas Brothers helped write and produce some of the songs on the album. This album has a pop sound with a bit of rock. She co-wrote most of her songs and wrote one song, Trainwreck, entirely by herself.

By the time her next album, Here We Go Again, came out, she totally changed her look. She dyed her hair black, seemed to have a fake tan, and totally changed up her style. This look matched her new album. There was a more dance-rock beat to the album and less of the bubblegum-pop sound coming from most Disney stars. Lovato's sound is totally different from the Disney norm. However, she relied on more help on writing the songs, yet she creates a sound that sounds more like herself.

Key Songs to Understand Demi's Sound
- Get Back - first single off her first album; describes the whole album
- Here We Go Again - first single off her second album; describes her new sound

Key Songs to Have
- Don't Forget - title song off of the first album; definitely one of the best songs on that album; very good combination of ballad and rock
- Falling Over Me - a very sweet sounding melody that shows Lovato's range

Key Songs to Keep on Repeat until you get sick of it
- Catch Me - a very sweet sounding song that is similar to Don't Forget yet has a sound of its own
- Stop the World - a great song that has a Jonas Brothers feel (Nick Jonas co-wrote this btw :)

Demi Lovato is someone who has a voice of her own. Its bluesy sound gives her something that no one from Disney has: a future after 18 :)
