Tell Me You Love Me
Demi Lovato’s always had the most powerful pipes of their fellow Disney Channel alumni, but with their sixth album, they officially hit their stride. On *Tell Me You Love Me*, Lovato reaches peak soulfulness: “You Don’t Do It for Me Anymore,” a slow-burner for breaking up with your vices, smolders without sacrificing their voice’s strength, and on the triumphant “Sorry Not Sorry,” they send gospel harmonies soaring. But the album\'s just as striking in its vulnerability, fitting for a singer who’s radically transparent about their mental health: The deceptively upbeat “Daddy Issues” is a wry, raw appraisal of the relationships with the men in their life.
On her sixth album, Demi Lovato finds a consistently compelling space: flinty, flirty R&B that’s just as thrilling hushed as it is at full blast.
Just prior to the launch of the album cycle for Tell Me You Love Me, Demi Lovato sat for an interview with MTV News to discuss their sixth album and wound up comparing their new record to Christina Aguilera's 2002 Stripped.
