Already on her fifth studio album, Demi Lovato’s Confident claimed to provide listeners with something that was strictly Demi; a self-assured pop album that was confident in who Lovato is as a musical artist and one which shows what she can truly do.
And with the release of ‘Confident’ and ‘Cool For The Summer’, the singer certainly seemed to be setting up the album successfully. The two tracks were somewhat of a marvel, with the slick and sassy nature of the former title track illuminating a feisty and more daring side to the singer, whilst the latter proved to be a tempting and alluring summer sensation that anyone would be proud of.
However, this all seemed to be short lived, as it quickly becomes evident that the released tracks are somewhat of a rarity and that the album on a whole is more disappointing. Despite the few intriguing additions like ‘Kingdom Come’ ft. Iggy Azalea, which is a haze-heavy trap mix with plenty of atmospheric beats, and the soulful ‘Stone Cold’, there is very little in the form of musical excitement on this frustrating album.
This is a little excerpt from the review I wrote, you can read the rest below (where I talk about the other songs on the track, the overall vibe of the album and, of course, the final verdict! Exciting stuff!).
What do you think of Confident? Tell me your thoughts in the comments (on either this blog post or the comments on Concrete!)
