1: All Night Long feat. Timbaland and Missy Elliot
All Night Long is a whole lot better than I predicted. It's in another planet.. In another universe ;). संगीत produced/written द्वारा Timbaland usually has him making बिना सोचे समझे unnecessary noises in the background and I don't appreciate that. He's quite tolerable in All Night Long. The beat is infective and I can't help from dancing या at least moving my feet a bit. It's a feel-good song. Yes, it's not the best lyric-wise, but I give it a 4/5.
2. Who's That Boy feat. Dev
Who's That Boy.. What's there to say? It's generic, predictable hip hop music. I think the rapping from Dev at the beginning was completely unnecessary and she played a big part in ruining the song for me. As if the innuendos and auto-tune weren't bad enough. If anybody but Demi sang the song, I wouldn't mind. I just think Demi is better than this song 2/5
3. You're My Only Shorty ft. I-Yaz
I didn't like this song when I first heard it on Ariana Grande's यूट्यूब channel. So, obviously I didn't like it much when I heard Demi's version. I was disappointed when I saw it was going to be on her album. I find it boring and repetitive during the chorus. I'm also not a big प्रशंसक of the term "shorty". That's just me. The lyrics really don't have any meaning या depth. Demi even sounds bored herself during the chorus 2/5
4. Together feat. Jason Derulo
In other people's reviews I've read, they've stated that Together is their "least प्रिय song" and it sounds very "Disney" and reminiscent of Make A Wave and Send it On. I really don't see a problem with that. It has a nice melody and it has a message, unlike the पूर्व songs I've stated so far in this article. I really don't see the purpose in Jason Derulo's part. The downside ,in my opinion, is that the song sounds like it was very rushed. I'm a song-writer myself, and I've tried to make songs about change and making a difference, they end up sounding really stupid because I can't think of things to write about. During Jason's verse he sings "Look at me. Now look at you. Now look at me again. See, we're not so different." Those are the lyrics that ruin it. It reminds me of the Old Spice Guy to be honest.. 3/5
5. Lightweight
Numerous Lovatics have stated that Lightweight is their प्रिय song. T33nsource even कहा that it's "better than Catch Me and Stop The World put together". I disagree with all of this. It's a nice song but I don't think it's that great. It comes off across as boring to me. It feels like I've heard it before.. in an NSync song या something. I don't think it's that special. Catch Me still gives me chills occasionally. And from what I've heard Demi didn't even help write Lightweight. The songs she writes herself are always going to beat the ones she didn't write at all for me. 3/5
6. Unbroken
Unbroken.. The शीर्षक song. It's my प्रिय song on the album so I might be slightly biased with this.. I प्यार the whole idea behind the song. It's just like saying "You know what? I'm coming back. I'm stronger. I'm ready." Demi कहा herself, that it was one of her प्रिय songs on the album and I see why. The melody's great. The lyrics are inspiring. I feel empowered when I listen to it and it's great to dance to. 5/5
7. Fix A Heart
Fix A दिल is another one of my favorites. It's so heartfelt and it's just one of those songs आप can't help but love. The line that really gets me is "It's like you're pouring salt in my cuts". Everytime I kind of wince and it was probably like that for Demi, too. I mean, I know it's a simile but for someone who suffered with self harm.. it's kind of emotional. The soft पियानो and whole vibe the song gives.. It's great. 5/5
8. Hold Up
When I saw Demi tweet lyrics from Hold Up, I immediately knew I was going to प्यार this song. "If the weapon is your love, I've got my hands up." I'm a sucker for metaphors. Some people have complained that it's generic and doesn't have a lot of depth. I partly agree with that but it was too short to have a lot of depth to it. I, for one like it. I don't like it as much as the others, though, so it gets a 4/5 for me.
9. Mistake
Mistake.. I don't have much to say about this song. I didn't really like it much. It didn't have a big effect on me. And the synth at the beginning was unnecessary. The song really didn't touch me at all, it isn't dancy.. And that's really what I look for in songs. I need a song to touch a nerve, to be relatable, या at least have a nice melody for me to like it. This one.. I just didn't feel anything. It didn't fall under any of those categories 1/5
10. Give Your दिल A Break
When I heard the पूर्व दर्शन of this song, I imagined it would be my favorite. Especially after I heard Jaden Michaels' demo. I just couldn't stop listening to it and dancing. But, now that I have fully heard the rest of the songs, I've realized there isn't anything really special about this song. I like how it had the string संगीत in it, granted it was most likely electronic orchestra instruments. I do like the song, but not as much as some of the others 3/5.
11. Skyscraper
I was debating whether या not to do a review of Skyscraper, fearing backlash from other Lovatics. But, I realized this is my opinion and I should stand द्वारा it. Skyscraper.. I didn't really think it was that great. Almost everybody else is crying and in hysterics. "This is the best song ever!" stfu. I think it was partly because we haven't had a new Demi song in a while that people felt that way. They were kind of.. brainwashed? No.. I don't know what word to use. But, I didn't think it was that great, as I कहा before. For the प्यार of a Daughter is easily the best ballad on the album. Possibly the best ballad on any of the albums. गगनचुंबी इमारत means something to Demi but not me. And some people should get past that instead of saying I'm not a true Lovatic या whatever 2/5
12. In Real Life
When I first listened to In Real Life, I didn't like it much. I've since warmed up to it a bit. I guess it's partly because I'm not a big प्रशंसक of R&B music. The change between the verse and chorus is very drastic. It goes from old school sounding to a short chorus sounding और current. Once again, I think this song would have suited someone else. It talks about champagne and I'm sitting here like "Demi's not old enough for that. Uhh 'Sober is sexy' anyone?". I give it a 3/5.
13. My प्यार Is Like A Star
When I saw the शीर्षक I thought to myself "What a weird metaphor." and "What a strange song-title". I didn't have very high expectations for it at all. But I should learn how to not judge a book द्वारा it's cover. It exceeded my expectations. This song reminds me of something Christina Aguilera would have sung when she first started out. Demi's vocals are excellent and showcased brilliantly in the song. I just don't like the title. It's extremely deceiving 4/5.
14. For the प्यार of A Daughter
I have been waiting for this song for around a साल and a half because I just discovered that it was supposed to be on HWGA then.. The song starts out with soft पियानो and an eery feeling and I automatically start crying. I don't normally cry while listening to संगीत but this song had me bawling. I'm crying while लेखन this, actually. I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to this song without crying. It was definitely worth the wait.. (Ha see what I did there? Demi was in a 'Worth the Wait' commercial :D yeah.. That wasn't funny..). I had high expectations for this song and it definitely didn't fall short. This song just might be the best thing I've ever heard. Maybe I'm falling under that same trance others did while listening to Skyscraper. I don't know.. The raw emotion Demi puts into it.. I cry thinking of what she went through. And I cry because I realize I take my parents for granted because my father may not be the best at times but I'm not the best daughter. I take him for granted when some people don't even have a father. Eddie De La Garza is my hero. Demi's cries "Oh father. Please father", They break my heart. "Don't आप remember I'm your baby girl?" Demi.. It just.. It gives me chills. And even though I do have my father, I feel I can somehow relate to it. I haven't figured out how yet, but I feel something while listening to it 6/5. <-- Yes, I did that on purpose.
Overall, the album was great. I'm giving it an संपूर्ण, कुल मिलाकर B+, (cough thanks to Who's That Boy cough It could have been an A. Thanks Dev..). I hope my humor wasn't too much for you. Ha.. Ha.. I decided not to include the remix of Skyscraper.. Mostly because I'm lazy. Here's my order of my प्रिय songs if आप care:
1. Unbroken
