Lovato is fresh off the release of her Revamped album, which featured rock reimaginings of some of her greatest hits including “Skyscraper,” “Give Your Heart a Break,” “La La Land,” “Sorry Not Sorry” and more.
The 31-year-old Mexican American singer, songwriter and actress has released her new album featuring reimagined, rock versions of her old tracks, fittingly titled Revamped.
The 10-track LP features some of her biggest hits (“Heart Attack,” “Sorry Not Sorry”) alongside fan favorites (“La La Land,” “Tell Me You Love Me”), all with amped-up guitars and a spotlight on Lovato’s powerhouse vocals. “It just feels really good,” they told Billboard. “I’m really proud of the work that we did, and I’m excited for the songs to be out there.”
Lovato continued, “I think it reignited an excitement inside of me for those songs. Like, take ‘Give Your Heart a Break,’ for example: I got really tired of performing that one live, because it had been in my catalog for so long, and it didn’t really reflect any sound that I had anymore. Even when I went more R&B-pop, it just wasn’t the kind of sound I was looking for anymore, because it was just so pop. But when we put together the rock version, I was suddenly having a really fun time on stage performing it.”
Lovato performed a slew of her rocked-out hits at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards earlier in the week, including “Heart Attack,” “Sorry Not Sorry” and “Cool for the Summer.”
The new album follows Lovato’s 2022 album, Holy Fvck, which introduced their rock musical abilities to fans. The album peaked at No. 7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart upon its release, and topped the Billboard Hot Rock Albums chart on September 3, 2022.
The 31-year-old half-Mexican American Grammy-nominated superstar has signed with Brandon Creed and his newly-launched firm Good World Management.
At the end of August,. Lovato parted ways with Scooter Braun‘s SB Projects in July after originally signing with Braun and his firm in 2019. She was previously managed by Phil McIntyre of PhilyMack.
That report was followed by news that Ariana Grande and Idina Menzel had left the SB roster, too.
Lovato is the second major signing to Creed’s Good World.
At the beginning of August, he and Lydia Asrat announced they had signed Normani to a co-management deal through Good World and Asrat’s Q10.
Creed announced Good World Management in July, with an official launch date of August 1. His last major move came in 2017, when he merged his own The Creed Company with Irving and Jeffrey Azoff‘s firm to form Full Stop Management.
Creed’s current roster includes Mark Ronson, Troye Sivan and Charli XCX, among others.
His first order of business with Lovato will be the release of Demi Lovato Revamped, out September 15, which includes reworked rock versions of her biggest hits including “Heart Attack,” “Sorry Not Sorry” featuring Slash and “Cool For the Summer.”
Lovato has charted 36 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including four top 10 hits. Over on the Billboard 200, she has charted eight albums. Her second studio album, 2009’s Here We Go Again, hit No. 1 and spent 24 weeks on the tally.
Demi Lovato is giving back to the LGBTQ community…
The 28-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actor is teaming up with public-benefit corporation Propeller.
This week, Lovato unveiled their new campaign with Propeller to help raise money and take action on LGBTQ issues, specifically aligned with organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, the Trevor Project and the Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness.
In the new campaign, the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer is auctioning off outfits they’ve worn — either on tour or on television — and a vacation experience to Joshua Tree.
To enter, fans can take a number of different actions, including signing petitions for the Trevor Project’s “50 Bills 50 States” campaign to end conversion therapy in the United States, joining HRC‘s “Count Me In” initiative advocating for transgender and non-binary equality, or donating directly to these organizations.
“Pride is about celebrating and giving back to our community, and this year I want all of us to take action,” Lovato said in a statement. “With this Propeller campaign, we’ve made it easy for people to take meaningful action by engaging with critical legislation, advocating for trans and non-binary voices, and ultimately lifting up our community with support. I’ve curated some incredible prizes, but the true win for everyone will be watching the positive effects of our collective action flourish and make our community a happier, safer, and more equal place.”

YouTube has given the green light to a four-part documentary series that follows the 28-year-old part-Mexican American singer/actress.
Entitled Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, the docuseries will premiere on March 23 with the first two episodes. The final two episodes will then air weekly.
The new series will follow Lovato returning to show fans her personal and musical journey over the past three years. Last year, she performed the National Anthem before Super Bowl 54 between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The series will be directed by Michael D. Ratner, who was a director on and exec produced Quibi’s recent &Music series, and produced by Ratner’s OBB Pictures, which produced YouTube’s recent Justin Bieber: Seasons series.
The announcement comes nearly two years after the digital platform and the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer were set to do a follow-up doc to Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated.
That film, which was directed by Hannah Lux Davis, was released in 2017 and has been viewed more than 32M times. It chronicled the recording of her Tell Me You Love Me record and her life and career including her stint on the Disney Channel and her struggles with bipolar disorder and addiction.
The Google-owned service had been in talks to make a follow-up film in 2018 before Lovato overdosed and that project was put on hold. She’s understood to have recently seen the Justin Bieber series and reached back out to YouTube to say she is ready to make another documentary.
“It’s been two years since I came face-to-face with the darkest point in my life, and now I’m ready to share my story with the world. For the first time, you’ll be able to see my chronicle of struggle and ongoing healing from my point of view. I’m grateful that I was able to take this journey to face my past head-on and finally share it with the world,” said Lovato.
“We are excited to continue sharing Demi’s brave story,” added Susanne Daniels, Global Head of Original Content, YouTube. “YouTube Originals is committed to telling real stories about the complexities of life and for Demi to use our global platform to open up about this chapter is something we are very proud of.”
“Demi’s willingness to explore the darkest elements of her life is going to leave the audience with a complete understanding of everything she’s been through and ultimately where she is going. Demi stands for empowerment, and this documentary is going to answer the many questions that have been out there – providing a real window into the life of one of the biggest stars in the world, who is simply a human being,” said director and executive producer Ratner.
The 27-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actress has shared a snippet of a new song from her upcoming yet-untitled album on social media.
In an Instagram Story, Lovato wears a multi-colored ’90s-inspired Gucci jacket and slim sunglasses while driving around L.A. listening to the seemingly autobiographical track.
“I know I made it hard for you / And I owe my part, I’ll tell the truth / You said that it’d be over/ If I didn’t get sober / Sober,” her voice croons from the car’s speakers.
Lovato also used a GIF of a steaming teapot in the Story, which she captioned “#D7.”
While the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer has yet to announce an official release date for her seventh studio set, the LP is expected to include the self-love anthem “I Love Me.”
The album will also serve as her first full-length release since recovering from an accidental overdose and hospitalization back in July 2018.
One month prior to her relapse, Lovato dropped one-off single “Sober,” a heart-wrenching, apologetic ballad detailing her lapse in sobriety.
She’s since signed with Scooter Braun as her new manager, joining the music mogul’s powerhouse roster of clients including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Tori Kelly and more.
Lovato is a two-time Grammy nominee, for her album Confidentand song “Fall in Line” with Christina Aguilera.
While fans anxiously await the follow-up to 2017’s Tell Me You Love Me, Lovato is next set to join forces with JoJo on a remix of the latter’s single “Lonely Hearts.” The duet between the two big-voiced singers will be included on the deluxe edition of JoJo’s latest album, Good to Know, which is slated for release on August 28 via Clover Music/Warner Records.

The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer took to Twitter to make the revelation during a brief Q&A with her fans.
A fan asked Lovato if she was finished releasing singles from Tell Me You Love Me. “Pretty much,” Lovato responded. “I have so much new music to release very VERY soon!!!”
“So no third single?” Another fan questioned, presumably wanting more than just “Sorry Not Sorry” and the album’s title track. “Give us a third single and then move on.” To which Lovato replied simply: “Nope.”
Despite her recent smash collaborations with Luis Fonsi, Clean Bandit and Christina Aguilera, Lovato hinted that even more new singles from her are on the horizon.
“Very VERY soon…. could be a matter of weeks actually,” Lovato continued.
The 25-year-old part-Mexican American singer/actress has joined voices with rapper Q-Tip for a jazzy rendition of the legendary singer’s classic duet with Kiki Dee, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”
Lovato and Q-Tip’s cover appears on John’s forthcoming two-album project Revampand Restoration.
