Don't Forget- Demi's Latest Smash!

Demi Lovato opened her mouth- and electrified the world. Ever since she co-starred with the Jonas Brothers in Camp Rock, this pop/rock girl has ridden the tidal wave inclining popularity. And now, with her precocious debut album, Don't Forget, she leaves us spellbound, breathless- rocking when she rocks and crying when she cries.

This album, in short, from the punky funk of La La Land all the way down to the sweet love ballads, is amazing! Demi's voice absolutely engulfs every single note, and there are very few spots where it could be said to be "weak". For those of you who loved her on Camp Rock, there will be no disappointments as she leaves her mark upon the world of teenage music.

And what a mark it is! She co-wrote most of the album with the Jonas Brothers, tainting it with a taste of the sibling trio's pop-culture pizzazz. Literally, sometimes I'll be listening to a song and be thinking, "I can so hear Joe/Nick singing this!" But for all you Jonas-haters (and I know you're out there), never fear. There's something very unique about the way Miss Lovato delivers each and every song. The girl's got talent, and I doubt her unique style will ever be repeated again.

That being said, here are my top recommendations for you to buy:

1. Get Back- Love this song! Perfect depiction of a girl wanting to renew the good times she had with her boyfriend.

2. Don't Forget- A rather sad song, faintly reminscent of Lovebug with it's slow beginning bursting into a rocky chorus. The heartbreak is so ominous in her voice that I almost cried.

3. Party- Just what it sounds like! A gotta get up and dance beat with fun lyrics. I could definitely see this becoming a dance song in the future!

4. Trainwreck- Wild and sweet- what could be better? In this crash-course song, Demi describes the wreckless and perhaps dangerous boy who holds her heart.

5. Gonna Get Caught- An honest- if brutal- display of the emotions and distrust roused by a boyfriend's cheating frivolity.
