Editor’s Pick: Demi Lovato at The Anthem
Holy Fvck, feels like a much more significant about-face than what we have seen before from the queer- and nonbinary-identifying artist — sounding much more like the reinvention they promised on last year’s Dancing with the Devil… the Art of Starting Over.Billed as a return to the pop-punk roots of her 2008 debut, Holy Fvck comes across as a late-aughts throwback, shedding much of Lovato’s pop polish and bringing plenty of grit and snarl to the surface.Lovato’s vocals are a mix of simultaneous ecstasy and anger, belting out defiant, dramatic lyrics. The soaring “29,” an absolute standout, finds Lovato recounting the growing up she’s done since she was 17, singing in a voice dripping with scorn — while at the same time conveying the lucid recognition that sometimes we become stronger in spite of the hard times we go through, rather than because of them.Lovato fires off one blast of fierce pop-punk after another and almost doesn’t let up. It is easy to get swept up in at first, and the stronger tracks keep it interesting, but having the volume constantly turned up to 11 begins to drag down the album.It’s likely that won’t be the case in a live setting, which is a fitting environment for Lovato’s songs with screamy energy in particular.Lovato launched her Holy Fvck Fall Tour in Brazil at the end of August, shortly after her 30th birthday, and she’ll make her way to D.C.

Demi Lovato opens up about her addiction, depression and sexuality on new album ‘Holy Fvck’
keeping it raw in her songs that can make you feel like you’re a fly on the wall of her therapy sessions.Her new album “Holy Fvck” — which dropped on Friday, the day before the former Disney Channel star turns 30 — unapologetically addresses the issues she’s dealt with regarding her addiction, sexuality and mental-health struggles.Lovato comes out firing on the first track “Freak,” a thrashing rave-up with punk-rocker Yungblud on which she embraces the power of being an outcast: “Get your tickets to the freak show, baby/Step right up to watch the freak go crazy.”Then on another rocking cut, “Skin of My Teeth,” Lovato — who has been open about her struggles with addiction — admits that “I’m alive by the skin of my teeth.”And the pop star is very much aware of the fish bowl that she lives in as she deals with her own recovery journey: “Demi leaves rehab again/When is this shit gonna end?/Sounds like the voice in my head/I can’t believe I’m not dead.”Meanwhile, the guitar-charged takedown “Eat Me” — featuring Royal & the Serpent — gives the middle finger to all the haters who have shaded her for how she identifies: The singer came out as non-binary and was using they/them pronouns, but she has recently adopted using she/her as well again.“Would you like me better if I was still her?/Did she make your mouths water?…I know the s—t that I’ve ignored/I know the girl that you adored/She’s dead, it’s time to f—king mourn.”And on the confessional power ballad “Happy Ending,” Lovato shares her struggle with depression — and how she’s tried to cope with it: “I got high/You name it, I’ve tried it/Sure, I’m sober now/And everybody’s proud/But I miss my vices.”
