Demi Lovato's 'Tell Me You Love Me' is a masterpiece

[Jordan Miller]

Demi Lovato's 2017 album Tell Me You Love Me is pop perfection.

I was listening to it last night, and I forgot how precious it is.

The sound suits her so well. The songs don't feel forced or overly dramatic like some of her other works. 

"Sorry Not Sorry" is her best lead single to-date and still sounds fresh in 2020. Fight me

"Daddy Issues" is such a wild song. The topic is legit pretty dark, but it's disguised behind a bright chorus and slick production. 

Then, the Holy Trinity on TMYLM: "Games," "Hitchhiker" and "Concentrate," all appearing in succession. I love when an album has three flawless songs in a row.  Interestingly, the latter two sound very similar production-wise, but they take off in different directions when the vocals hit. 

She also had a freaking song with Lil Wayne which, at first glance, seems kinda out of place, but it's just not. The icy beat, the hollow clap-beats, Wayne's auto-tune-tastic verse... it's a smooth listen. 

Demi is kind of having trouble finding her sound lately. I know TMYLM can't be duplicated, but if she went for this sound again I bet she'd have a lot of success. 

Do we have any TMYLM stans here? What's your favorite song (mine is "Games")? Or if you don't like the album, I'm curious to hear why.

Demi Lovato? I don’t know her...

I LOVED this album. Her best one yet. But, I might have to disagree on the holy trinity. 

My holy trinity is: Nick Jonas. Aka Ruin The Friendship, Only Forever and Lonely.

And let's not forget about this "If U Seek Amy" sequel: No-I-Can't-Keep-Denying-Every-Minute-I think of you.

Neon lights & heart attack are still her Best singles. I miss Demi era, I’m surprised Hollywood record that let her put out 4 singles off the record.

I’m not much of a Demi fan, but this is a really good album. Her best that I’ve heard.  It kinda flopped besides sorry not sorry though right?

Can't stand listening to her. She's not a vocalist - (in my head I hear New York saying "she's not a SONGSTRESS" about Krazy ) she shouts and screams through her nose. Her songs have become progressively more formulaic and boring IMO. Never really could be bothered to listen to much more than a few tracks, and I remain unimpressed. Sorry, not sorry.

Certified 5× Platinum is a flop?

Flawless would be Emancipation of Mimi or Stripped or Oops or Confessions. Not this Disney leftovers ****.

Thank you! I was about to ask where he was getting these numbers from. Billboard updated her numbers in February and said the album sold 249k
