Demi Lovato is about to enter a new musical era, and from the sounds of it, it’s going to be dynamite.
Over the first couple of months of 2022, the 29-year-old artist has been in and out of the studio creating songs and, in turn, teasing them to their fans over social media. The clips contain crashing guitars, soaring vocals and cutting lyrics such as: “I’m alive by the skin of my teeth / I survived but it got harder to breathe…,” all of which have helped the excitement within their devoted community of self-named “Lovatics” rise to a boiling point.
“It’s definitely not R&B or soulful,” Lovato says of the future album’s direction. “I would say it’s more rock than anything.” The tone reflects some of Lovato’s current musical tastes. “I really like Royal & the Serpent. There’s [also] a band called Turnstile that I’m really into.”
Just a week after our interview, the Grammy-nominated singer teased a snippet of a high-energy rock song called “Choke on It,” featuring none other than Royal & the Serpent (aka Ryan Santiago). And in February, Demi shared a photo of themselves hanging out with their favorite band Turnstile, a Baltimore hardrock group that is currently embarking on a tour for their newest album. Perhaps this is a hint that another collaboration is in the works.
This year definitely marks yet another musical turning point in the career of the hyper-talented vocalist who has released seven studio albums and sold over 2.7 million of them, and counting.
