With producer Jon Fields at the helm, Demi teamed up with Jonas Brothers to co-write several of the album's 11 songs. It was a natural collaboration, since Demi counts Nick, Joe and Kevin among her best friends. Their inerrant feel for hook-laden rock helped Demi deliver on her vision. "If I were to write the album by myself it would probably have been a little more serious," she notes. "But I didn't want that. I wanted a fun album."
It's hard to imagine anything more musically fun than full-out rockers like "Get Back" and "Gonna Get Caught," both written by Demi with Jonas Brothers. Says Demi, "So many guys cheat and play games. I thought there needed to be a song about a guy getting caught. Nick said, `Can't it have a happy ending?' But I said, `No, no, no!'"
She balances the uptempo tracks with sweeping ballads like "Two Worlds" and "Believe in Me," the latter featuring a message Demi takes seriously. "Being a teenage girl you deal with insecurity," she says. "People think if you're in the spotlight, you're overly confident, but most of us deal with so much criticism, it gets to us. I'm the type of person who wants to take it with a grain of salt."
Demi's vulnerable side comes through on "Until Your Mine" and the title track, a touching ballad (co-written with Jonas Brothers) about a faltering relationship. She explores similar territory in "On the Line," an uptempo duet she co-wrote and sings with Nick Jonas. "We wanted to write a breakup song," Demi says, "and what better way to say it when you're breaking up over the phone than with the title `On the Line.'"
Demi's inner rocker girl comes roaring back on "Party" and "LA LA Land," a droll take on SoCal life and all its attending artifice. Showing her songwriting skills Demi wrote "Trainwreck" all by herself. She wraps the album with "The Middle," a strikingly mature song about finding balance in love and life. Demi Lovato Photos

 Simply Amazing. September 23, 2008

I don't think anyone really expected much of this 16 year old girl when they heard she was going to be side by side with the Jonas Brothers for the huge Disney success, Camp Rock. Boy, were those people proven wrong.
Quite personally, I've found most Disney stars entertaining, but never vocally talented. Demi took the stereotype of Disney stars and literally smashed it.
With her extremely mature debut album, Demi Lovato has exemplified that talent runs in all ages. Even more impressive? She co-wrote most of the album, except for two, "Until You're Mine" and "The Middle".
Although most of the tracks were co-written with teen bombshells Jonas Brothers, one of the most ear pleasing tracks is one she wrote by herself entitled "Trainwreck". All the uptempo songs have a unique sense of fun, and each ballad is filled with heartfelt and personal lyrics. In the title track, "Don't Forget", you can cut the emotional tension with a knife.
The boys also come in for a great duet, which pretty much laid out every teenage breakup in a matter of 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
My personal favorites? Trainwreck, La La Land, On The Line, and Until You're Mine. =]
I suggest you try this album out, especially if you're a Disney fan. It will definitely redefine how you view "Disney stars".
Former Side-Kick Turned Songstress September 26, 2008

Former side-kick turned songstress, Demi Lovato started her Disney channel career as nothing more then Salina Gomez's best friend for life; but thanks to the success of camp rock and a collaboration with the Jonas Brothers this 16-year-old is on her way to being the next big princess of pop.
This might come as a shock-and-awe to fans of Disney's current pop maven Miley Cyrus, but truth be told Demi bolts out catchy, youth inspired tunes better then her Hannah Montana counter part and as an added bonus she dose all this without the country twang.
The album opens with a sugar and spice coated gum drop entitled "La La Land," and continues to amaze with rock induced "Trainwreck," which propels Demi's vocals into mysterious quasi-alt territory. Jonas sibs Nick and Joe (who co-wrote the album with Demi) croon on, "On the Line," giving the song that Camp Rock final jam appeal. While bouncy, well paced, boy inspired songs such as "Don't forget," (the song that shares the albums title), "Gonna Get Caught," and "The Middle," have the potential to bandage broken hearts of tween girls everywhere. And if that's not enough the finale song "Believe In Me," brings the album home with an inspirational ballad on just being yourself at the end of the day that will reassure the Mitchie Torres in all of us.
So in short if you're a Miley fan you'll love or hate Demi even more because "Don't Forget," is a bubblegum contender guaranteed to dethrone any similar sounding musical mogul, who is delusional enough in thinking that she still has a chance in the Magic Kingdom of holding on to her tween-pop-star crown and microphone scepter.

From my iTunes review:
Demi Lovato is the best thing to come out of Disney since Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. And when it comes to the genre of rock, Demi has definitely clinched it for the Disney camp. Songs are catchy and are enhanced by some mainstream-esque, yet intelligent production tricks that can be pleasing to the ear for all ages.
Demi Lovato has amazing control of pitch and vocal runs, well beyond that of 99.99 percent of recording artists her age. This debut album makes me excited to hear how she'll mature over the years. "Get Back" is probably the catchiest song I've heard in a while, showcasing her incredible ability to sing with rocking umph at her high register chest voice. "La La Land" tracked as number 1 is a great fast-paced 12/8 song to get you into this cohesive album. And "Don't Forget," while arguably cheesy with the redubbed whisper echoes, has captured in this recording some pure emotion that potentiates the kind of maturity we can expect from Demi in the future.
Amazing.
Did You Forget? September 25, 2008

I was so excited about this album on the day of release all I wanted to do that day was get myself a copy.
The album started out really nicely with the rock vibe of "La La Land". It's a very fun song. I'm a huge fan of Demi's vocals and the rhythms.
Demi has said she asked the Jonas brothers for help on writing lyrics because her songs are too "dark". I have to disagree, but the only song only Demi wrote herself on the album is "Trainwreck" which has really nice lyrics. It reminds me very much of her demos ("Trash" "Open" "Stronger" and "Shadow"). It's nice to hear a song like this one. It actually makes me think of the past and other songs' rhythms.
"Party" is my disappointment. I first gave it two stars, but then I listened to it as I was listening to the album on my media player and I decided to give it three stars. It's kind of a very southern type of song with pointless lyrics. The lyrics are what made me upset. The end of the song says,"Let's do that again!" I say,"No thank you."
"On the Line" is very beautiful. I'd like it better though if Nicholas Jonas hadn't taken a part in singing the second verse with Demi. His vocals are nice for his own music, but he made the song not so special. Other than that, this is a great song.
"Did you forget?....that I was even alive" my favorite song from all 11 tracks has to be "Don't Forget". When I first read the lyrics I felt like crying. I like how Demi let out her feelings and made this song very emotional. A tip before first listening to this track: rad the lyrics first, the complete lyrics.
"Gonna Get Caught". The title makes you think, and then you listen to it and realize it's a much better song than it seemed. Once again, a wondrous rhythm.
A song dedicated to her best friend, very caring of her. "Two World's Collide" reminds me of Disney songs. It could be one of those music videos with footage of the musician and of a Disney movie. Nice song, but my favorite part is the short "but you've given me strength to find hope" you may have heard on 'Get in Tune with Demi lovato' on Disney Channel.
The two songs Demi didn't take a part in writing. "The Middle" reminds me of a Hilary Diff song. "I like it!" It's one of the songs closer to Rock than Pop. "Until You're Mine". Ah! I love this one! It reminds me of my past, which is the best compliment I can ever give something.
A last, the final song, "Believe In Me". It talks about being yourself, like "La La Land", but in a different way. The story gets positive at the end as it begins talking of how "I'm losing myself". This song makes me feel at ease. It truly is "amazing what you can hide just by putting on a smile".
"Everyone's perfect in unusual ways."

O.K., first of all, this is not Karen Rowell, this is her daughter. I love Demi she is amazing! I used to not like her, but I have definitely warmed up to her. Her voice is amazing. She can pull off any note. Can't wait to but this! I love "On the Line" with the Jonas Brothers. I checked it out on iTunes this morning. I think it's a great song. "Until You're Mine" is a great song, too.
Vote for Nick 2038!
