Free Music Notes for Don't Forget
Free Music Review: My son loves it!
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought it for my 13 year old son and he listens to it all the time.Free Music Review: Surprisingly good!
Hit: 4 Stars
So, I felt a little weird buying this cd because I felt like I was too old to be listening to her (I'm 23). But... I really liked 'La La Land' so I went for it. First of all, her voice is really good. She doesn't really sound like anyone else out there that I have heard. Her voice is very distinguishable if you hear it. I should also say here that I am not a fan of Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers.
So, here's my breakdown of each song:
1. La La Land - The reason I even bought the cd. I listened to some samples online after hearing this song and decided to be open-minded. Very fun, catchy song. Her voice is awesome. This is one of my favorites--just like the beat and how she sings the song.
2. Get Back - A song about wanting to be with someone when you're not. A universal theme if you ask me. She kind of sings the chorus in the way that Kelly Clarkson sings hers--with a lot of emotion and really kind of belts it. Good song.
3. Trainwreck - A song she wrote on her own (she co-wrote most of them). About a guy who is, as the title says, a trainwreck. But that is part of the appeal in him and why she loves him, flaws and all. Another good song.
4. Party - Has a pop-rock beat to it, and she sings appropriately here. Just a fun song, suitable for summer. Her voice sounds really good.
5. On the Line - This song features one of the Jonas Brothers, which it would be better without him. She sounds good, and the song really would be much better without him (in my opinion). About having a fight or breaking up and not wanting to take blame at the time, but feeling bad about it later.
6. Don't Forget - This song has a very vulnerable sound to it, especially the beginning. This song is about being forgotten and having your heart broken. About 2.5 minutes into the song, she really breaks it down and the beat picks up, before slowing down again. Another good song.
7. Gonna Get Caught - A little more upbeat than Don't Forget. About a guy who is basically playing games (that is something any girl can relate to). The chorus is very catchy and upbeat and sticks in your head (which is something that reminds me of Kelly Clarkson's songs). A good one.
8. Two Worlds Collide - A song about a friendship. This is kind of a typical song that teenagers tend to sing. It's not a bad song, but it's not super either. It reminds me somewhat of Ashlee Simpson's 'Giving It All Away' on her first cd (obviously with very different sounding voices).
9. The Middle - This is one that she didn't write on her own. The song starts out a little slower, then it picks up. I actually really like this song. It's really fun to sing along to.
10. Until Your Mine - The grammar freak in me hates that she uses the incorrect form of 'your' (it should be 'you're'), but besides that... The song is a little slower, but the chorus picks up. The chorus is very catchy and she gives it a lot, like most of her other songs. This song is about wanting someone and being willing to do whatever it takes to get them.
11. Believe In Me - A little slower, but the chorus, once again, is catchy, a little more upbeat, and fun to sing along to. About self-esteem and trying to be yourself and believe in yourself. This is something I think many people can relate to, but especially young people when they're trying to find themselves. I really like this song.
All in all, I really enjoy her voice. It is very good, and she can really belt it out, but doesn't do that too much on this cd (which disappoints me, but I know that some people don't like that). She co-wrote most of the songs, which is awesome. She is 16 and sometimes that is reflected a little bit, but I think that she will definitely have more to show in the future as an artist as she and her music mature. Just think, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake started out on the Disney channel. And Britney, who is a great entertainer (maybe not as musically gifted as Christina and Justin)... Anyway the cd is definitely worth checking out.
Free Music Review: Pleasantly Surprised
Hit: 4 Stars
Okay, first off, I will admit that I'm NOT a Disney fan. The Disney people know now is a little past my generation. I never really liked Miley Cyrus, I thought Camp Rock was a bad movie, and I can't really get into the Jonas Bros. So to say the least, I was skeptical.
I heard her single, "Get Back" because it was on the radio and I liked it. I downloaded the song, but I never considered getting her entire album until recently. Now, I've been playing it non-stop practically.
The best thing about her is that her lyrics are not specialized towards a particular population. There are obvious lines that are supposed to appeal to her Disney audience (wearing converses in "La La Land"), but songs like "Don't Forget" have no targeted audience. It could be a song about a middle-aged couple and I don't think you would have noticed if it wasn't a teenage girl singing it. She balances maturity and adolescence very well.
I'll admit that the second half of the album that is more sappier, and is not as enjoyable as the first half, but "Believe in Me" does showcase her voice, which is actually pretty nice.
Best tracks: La La Land, Trainwreck, and Don't Forget. The duet with the Jonas Bros is also great.
Track that could have been better: "The Middle." If there is one song you don't download, I guess it would be this. It's one of those mediocre songs. It's not really upbeat, but it's not a ballad either. It just gets lost in the rest of the album.
But anyway, this album is definitely worth a listen...especially if you're not a Disney fan.
Free Music Review: Fun and engaging
Hit: 4 Stars
Her first effort "Don't Forget" is fun and engagin romp that shows her skills at songwriting. Which helps make this album something that isn't heard of everyday. I found myself enjoying it even though it took a few listens to get into it. It's worthy of a few listens and shows much promise for a rising music artist on the scene. Hopefully with her next effort they will let her loose.
I feel that while "Don't Forget" is good there is a spot like "Party" that's better left off. It sounds ok and all but it's not really one of the best or strongest songs on the cd. I enjoyed "Don't Forget" and "La La Land" to name a couple songs.
This is a nice debut for Demi Lovato and just might check her out in the future.
Free Music Review: Cool girl
Hit: 4 Stars
I think Lovato is cool as hell. This album is great. I highly recommend it to music fans, not just pop or Radio Disney fans. The "Get Back" version on the disc is not the Radio Disney/video version, so it has the "kiss me" lyrics. Oh yeah, kiss her indeed, as this girl has mucho potential!!
By the way, a couple of jams have two former New Power Generation members performing on it, namely Tommy Barbarella (with the Purpleaxxe) and the drummer, Michael B.
