Demi Lovato returns to dance-pop with new album, producer Zhone leading the way.
Demi Lovato is gearing up for a dance-pop return with her upcoming ninth studio album in 2025, with producer Zhone at the helm of the project. This shift signifies a departure from her previous rock phase, as Lovato embraces electronic sounds once again.
According to a source close to the singer, recent life changes, including finding love and newfound confidence, have influenced the album’s direction. This celebratory dance-pop record reflects Lovato’s lighter and more joyful approach to life, which she brought into the studio during the album’s creation. Fans can expect a sound reminiscent of her past hits like “Solo,” “No Promises,” and “Neon Lights.” A sneak peek of the first track, titled “Fast,” has already been shared with fans through Lovato’s social media platforms.
Producer Zhone, known for his work on chart-topping hits like Kesha’s “Joyride” and Troye Sivan’s “Rush,” expressed excitement about working on this project. He described the album as a celebration of breaking free from inhibitions, emphasizing the fun they had while crafting the music. Zhone also praised Lovato for her talent in the studio, calling her a master and commending her journey of growth and evolution as an artist.
Lovato’s last album, “Holy Fvck,” released in 2022, delved into rock territory and secured a spot at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 chart. However, her roots in pop music are strong, as evidenced by her past successes with all seven of her pop albums reaching the top 5 spots on the Billboard 200 between 2008 and 2021. This upcoming dance-pop album marks a fresh start and coincides with her upcoming wedding to Jordan Lutes, known as Jutes, scheduled for May 2025.
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last year, Lovato hinted at her plans for the new album, teasing a mix of love songs and sexy tracks. She expressed that she’s currently honing her sound and finding inspiration in her happy place, which will be evident in the music she creates. While the release dates for the album and its lead single “Fast” remain undisclosed, fans eagerly await new material from the talented singer.
As Lovato and the team put the finishing touches on the album, anticipation continues to build for the dance-pop comeback that promises to showcase Lovato’s growth, joy, and musical evolution. Stay tuned for more updates on Demi Lovato’s highly anticipated ninth studio album.
