Lovato tapped Zhone — the music maker behind “Someone for Me” by Kylie Minogue, “Rush” by Troye Sivan, and “Joyride” by Kesha — to executive-produce the upcoming project.
“It’s been so inspiring working with Demi and experiencing her journey of continued leveling up,” Zhone tells Rolling Stone about their work together. “She is such a master in the studio. This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music! It really comes across throughout.”
Fans have already started to get a taste of DL9 with teasers posted by Lovato of the album’s lead single, “Fast.” The music is a significant step away from the rock-leaning energy of her two last projects, 2022’s Holy Fvck and 2023’s Revamped, which reimagined her pop hits as rock tracks.
When she announced Revamped with Rolling Stone, she said she was considering a return to pop. “I was listening to a bunch of metal. And now, I’m trying to wrap my brain around more pop-sounding stuff, just in case my music wants to take that direction,” she said at the time.
On the new project, she’ll tap into the sound she’s explored on some of her chart-topping EDM collaborations, such as 2018’s “Solo” with Clean Bandit, 2017’s “No Promises” with Cheat Codes, and “Instruction” from Tell Me You Love Me with Jax Jones. Her electropop goes back to 2013, when she included fan favorite “Neon Lights” on her self-titled record Demi.
