Watch Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas’ ‘Camp Rock’ surprise reunion<\/p>\n On opening night of the Jonas Brothers’ tour, the band brought out four surprise guests, including former tourmate Demi Lovato.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/media-video><\/div>\n Demi Lovato<\/a> is all about poking fun at herself as she fast approaches the release of her ninth album.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old singer \u2013 who uses both she\/her and they\/them pronouns \u2013 on Aug. 15 revealed her newest offering, “It’s Not That Deep<\/a>,” will release Oct. 24. The announcement was paired with the album art, a visual preview of her new music that fans speculate will be “unserious<\/a>.”<\/p>\n In the crowded photo, a nude-appearing Lovato poses in heels in front of a sky blue velvet backdrop as she clutches a fuchsia dress to her body. The garment is straight from the dry cleaner and still in a protective plastic wrap, featuring a “we \u2764\ufe0f our customers” clothes hanger.<\/p>\n In her Instagram post<\/a>, Lovato called the extras around her “the most beautifully chaotic scene.” There are some office workers in the top left corner, a child soccer player in the forefront, a spotted dog running amok, vest-wearing men playing chess and a crowd of young adults to Lovato’s left.<\/p>\n The album announcement started as a fake-out she posted on X<\/a> that led fans to think she was releasing yet another documentary. But the tease ended up being a self-aware joke about her penchant for exploring heavy topics on film (Lovato reflected on her nearly fatal overdose on “Dancing with the Devil<\/a>” and the pitfalls of adolescent celebrity in “Child Star<\/a>“).<\/p>\n “Getting deeper and more personal than ever,” she wrote alongside a link, which ultimately led users to a landing page to pre-save her upcoming album. “My fifth documentary is here.. watch the exclusive trailer now.”<\/p>\n “I often wrote cathartic music about heavy topics that I needed to process,” she said in a Sept. 15 press release, per Rolling Stone<\/a> and Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. “When I got back in the studio this time around, those songs just weren\u2019t resonating anymore because I\u2019m not in that place in life. I\u2019m happy, I\u2019m in love, and I just want to enjoy life and have fun.”<\/p>\n This is the Disney alumna’s first full-length album since marrying fellow musician Jordan Lutes<\/a> in May. And this time around, as previewed in the singles released thus far, Lovato wants to be the soundtrack to her fans’ late nights on the dancefloor.<\/p>\n With her first single “Fast,”<\/a> the celebrated vocalist opted for a more electronic sound, blending sensual lyrics with a hot-and-heavy synth. Up-tempo keyboards and a suspenseful beat drop made for a new experience of\u00a0Lovato’s soaring vibrato<\/a>, hinting at the genre of the larger album expected to follow the single’s release.<\/p>\n
\nFans predict Demi Lovato’s ninth album, “It’s Not That Deep,” will take an “unserious” tone as the singer continually pokes fun at her usual penchant for delving into heavy topics.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
