“Heart Attack”, Demi Lovato‘s first single since signing on as a judge for the US version of The X Factor, has everything you want from a pop song. The verses are bouncy and playful, the lyrics are simple enough to sing along to, and the chorus allows for some cathartic, top-of-the-lungs wailing in the back seat of your friends’ car on a drunken night (where you obviously have a designated driver, because you’ve somehow consumed enough alcohol to admit you like a Demi Lovato song).
This might read as a ringing endorsement from me, yet there’s something so calculated about this track that makes me put my defenses up, not want to fall in love and fake a heart attack so I never have to hear it again… But, hey, the video just came out! Demetria rubs black ink on herself and serves Kelly Clarkson realness in a warehouse. Yes. That’s the entire premise of the video. And yes. I just used the word “realness”.

for some reason it makes me think of Hilary Duff and Miley Cirus’ love child, but trying to be country pop
Wow, Dewitt…for once I agree with everything you said about this record. All clear…paddles please.
LOVE this song
She may have some shitty teen-pop production most of the time. But there’s no doubt that you can find a power ballad voice in her too.
