Lyrical Liar

JoJo (Levesque, not Siwa) - she was the sweetest person EVER and had previously slid into my DMs and reposted me several times on her Insta. And a few other UK-based famous folk because I work for a book publisher and everybody is an author these days (but fr read Over The Influence by JoJo, it's fantastic).

The way she always drops better bonus/deluxe tracks than the standard NEVER fails to entertain me FANTASY IS THAT BITCHHHH and

30 y/o me is sobbing at Sorry To Myself the way 13 y/o me sobbed to Believe In Me back in 2008. This summer was ROUGH, y'all. 2025 in a post-chorus: SORRY FOR THE STARVING SORRY FOR THE BURNOUT SORRY FOR THE ONE EX WHO ALWAYS BROKE ME DOWN

The lyrics are DUTTY! Something about taking a polaroid pic when her hubs went down on her and stuff.

The way I wanted to **** on this album and this era SO bad even as a Lovatic and now I'm shaking my arse in the living room LIVING FOR THIS. Even the singles I hated have grown on me listening to the album as a whole. I fear I must repent for doubting Demetria.

Saw this on my Release Radar at midnight and thought I was dreaming!!! This is SO good. Always wanted heavier songs with JoJo after the masterpiece that is Disaster. I wish she got a solo chorus because her voice gets lost a little when it's blending with Alex's but whatever.

I AM AWAKE

Silver Deliverer (titular track) is out there - I like it way more than What It Feels Like but so far this isn't hitting like ATOTB. And I'm not really getting the 'going back to our rock roots' vibe they were promising but obvs I can't say much from just two songs! Hopefully there are some other standouts on the album.

Agree that a few more tracks could've made this a full length album but other than that, she sounds FLAWLESS. Her big notes are so controlled - that Broadway training really came thruuu! 🧡

Matt Rife?!

They called themselves a rock duo in one of their latest posts and also said the upcoming album goes back to their rock roots... I'm not expecting it to be pop rock but still hopeful!

I have receipts which say 7k copies were sold in a week. But keep seething, babes.

ALL remixes? Disappointing.

Oh lord, she's been flooring me lately with these looks! Holy **** me UP, Demetria!

TASTE That song hasn't left the #1 spot on my On Repeat playlist since release. It's too good!

After a couple more spins as a whole record, the ones I was meh about on first listen have definitely grown on me. It's just banger after banger so you can easily ignore that the vocal mixing and production are a bit iffy in places. Still wish a TAOSO song (or Stone Cold) made it on here but that's neither here nor there. Question for you girlies: which TAOSO song would you have liked to see revamped?

Just a PSA that the outro of Heart Attack remains superior and it's so DIFFERENT. We need more of that sound in the future. 😭

Facts...he doesn't sound great on his verse. But Demi thankfully drowns him out a lil bit on the chorus and it sounds good otherwise! Really like the instrumental on that.

Justice for songs like TAOSO, Carefully, Lonely People-

TMYLM - not bad but that outro is not it... Neon Lights - interesting moments. Some high highs that I really like. But holy ****, the production switched faster than I can blink. Almost dizzying how many times it changed. Wasn't necessary imo. Skyscraper - absolutely lovely. Production is just right. GYHAB - another good one. Production is relatively straightforward and pleasant to listen to! The bridge is so different to the OG but in a good way! Don't Forget - underwhelming. Doesn't pack a punch nearly as hard as the original because it already starts off with light rockish production. Sad that I got bored listening to it. La La Land - cute and not too far removed from the original, even with the Nita feature. Not gonna pretend to understand the decision making behind some of the vocal mixing and effects but I'ma keep my mouth shut. 🤐 Now to wait for the new album.

Oh nooooo, I haven't heard it yet but it's been such a mixed bag for me thus far with the single releases. 😭

You really thought you were doing something here, huh? Embarrassing.

This is cute! Like it much it more than Sour on first listen. The September vibes are real with this which is perfect for autumn. This is going on rotation with Renee Rapp's new album pour moi.

The way I SCREAMED

Hoooooh, this gave me goosebumps. So beautiful and haunting.
