So long to the days where talent trumped appearances and Disney Channel stars were only to be found on TV, there seems to be a new Disney starlet out on the scene. There seems to be a pattern with Disney-sponsored young girls shedding their innocent images for more grown-up styles, lyrics, and appearances. Demi Lovato’s new album “Unbroken” clearly emulates her new post-Disney image.

While the album isn’t the worst, it’s a far cry from anything good that pop culture has to offer. It’s quite generic, and the lyrics and beats could have been written or sung by anyone.

The first song “All Night Long” features music greats Missy Elliot and Timbaland, but tries way too hard. It’s a mix between dance and techno with Lovato repeating words in a voice that sounds computer-altered.

Songs such as “Who’s That Boy” and “You’re My Only Shorty” sound as if they are exact replicas of “All Night Long.” Everything from the beats to the lyrics sounds identical. A little variety here would go a long way.

Even the songs in which Lovato tries to mix it up and create something heartfelt fail. “Lightweight” and “Unbroken” are both about pain and heartbreak, but sound as if Lovato is just whining.

Still, the whole album isn’t terrible. Two songs that are somewhat worth listening to are “Skyscraper” and “For the Love of a Daughter.”  While the songs lack any unique qualities, their slow tempos combined with Lovato’s polished voice come together to create something not amazing but at least somewhat good.

Demi Lovato never reached the stardom of her Disney counterparts Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez, and her album shows that in the way that no one single song the album is catchy. While she may have multiple celebrities featured on the album and a few decent songs, none of them will ever be as catchy as Cyrus’s “Party in the U.S.A.”
