After entering their punk-rock era with "Holy Fvck" in 2022, Demi Lovato is coming back with a refreshed version of their biggest pop hits. "Revamped," set to drop on Sept. 15, will be Lovato's first remix album and will feature major hits including "Heart Attack," "Cool For the Summer," "Confident," and "La La Land."
On tour, Lovato and their band created new arrangements for the pop songs to better fit their punk vibe. After an overwhelmingly positive fan response, Lovato decided to officially rerecord her chart-topping hits with a heavy metal twist. "I love revisiting these past moments in my career," they told Rolling Stone. "We've done a great job of reenvisioning the songs, and I'm really happy with them."
Though the album will remix some of their most famous songs, Lovato said they were careful not to strip the tracks of their sense of "familiarity." "I changed the melody a little bit in certain spots and then try to hit higher notes than the originals," Lovato said. The only notable lyrical change on the upcoming album occurs in "Tell Me You Love Me." Before the lyric, "No, you ain't nobody 'till you got somebody," in the chorus, Lovato sings, "They say." "I interject a little because I don't want that negative connotation of 'You're only somebody if you're with somebody' and that's something that's always bugged me about the song as I've performed it on the road," Lovato said of the change.
For those who have been fans of Lovato since the start of their career, the new album will be a fresh take on some of their favorite songs. Lovato encourages fans, though, to approach the album release with an open mind. "I think what's important is that you just listen to it with an open mind and be receptive to the new genre of music that it's in," Lovato said. "I think my fans will know and love these songs still."
