Demi Lovato concerned about lack of 'human connection' in modern world
23 July 2022
Demi Lovato worries social media is replacing real "human connection" in modern society.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind their new single Substance in an interview for Audacy's Check In, the star - who uses they/them pronouns - noted that they had been thinking a lot about the impact of technology on relationships.
Substance will feature on Demi's upcoming eighth studio album, Holy Fvck.
And the Skyscraper hitmaker revealed that fans can expect an entirely different sound compared to 2021's Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over - when they were struggling with maintaining sobriety and mental health issues.
"How it differentiates, this album I'm really proud of...and when I look back at the last album I made, it's not that I'm not proud of it, it's just I don't know who that person was," the 29-year-old mused. "There are songs on there that I am very proud of, but there are also songs on there that I'm like, 'I don't know that person.' I think I was really struggling to find my identity as an artist, as a person, and now, going into this album with a clear head, I was focused. I was able to write about what was important to me without being clouded by substances. So, I just feel more sure of myself as a person, as an artist, and that's why I think this body of work is gonna be the one that I'm the most proud of."
