Lovato presents to the world a sky-rocketing voice with songs containing powerful songs and lyrics with her new album “Unbroken.”

The album was magnificently composed and thought-out, complimenting the inner talents and strengths contained inside Lovato. “Unbroken” helped Lovato break out of her initial habits of singing in a light-hearted manner, as she did in her works with Disney, and brought out the inner pop star that the world may not have expected from the young “Camp Rock” star.

Lovato’s “Unbroken” album has been a highly-anticipated album to Lovato fans also referred to as “Lovatics,” ever since her lead single “Skyscraper” was released in mid-July which received much positive feedback. “Unbroken” featured more than one guest artist including Timbaland, Missy Elliot, and Dev. Fans who will listen to the tracks in numerical order may find themselves in confusion. Hip-hop influenced songs such as “All Night Long” and “Who’s That Boy” mislead the fans who were in search for the pop-rock styles of Lovato. Once the fans get past the first two songs, they may be pleased to be pulled back into the pop and the Broadway musical-styled songs such as “Lightweight” and “Unbroken.” Most of Lovato’s songs manage to differentiate themselves from other classic pop songs, but still keep the traditional structures of pop that fans will appreciate, such as added harmonies and dynamics on final choruses. Lovato sings the majority of the songs with very little use of “auto-tune” software which is designed to keep a singer from singing a wrong note or an “out of tune” note, and is seen as very admirable to many singers in consideration of Lovato’s range. Many of the notes that Lovato hits in her songs are sung with very little signs of strain to her voice. While the album overall has many distinctive-sounding songs, many of them begin and end almost the same way. Several of the songs start off with some variation of piano or synthesizer intro and are structured in the same “cookie cutter” pop format with an intro, verse, pre-chorus, then chorus, and repeat. Listeners in search of songs with dynamic and random transitions a long with variety in music structure may not like the album. Lovato’s new album will definitely impress most longtime fans and even first- time listeners. The album displays to the audience just how much Lovato has grown since her first music debut as the star of Disney’s “CampRock”, especially with the album’s finishing song “For the Love of a Daughter,” which contains very powerful and emotional vocal styles from Lovato. The musicianship of not only Lovato, but the studio musicians who recorded the album, is very solid. Unbroken may very well define the new and improved Lovato as she continues to grow in her music.
