Demi Lovato is hitting the road for the first time in years after she announced her new album, which is part of her pop era.
She said the new album is called “It’s Not That Deep,” with The Associated Press describing her new music as “energetic dance-pop” and “a celebration of life’s joys and messiness.”
Lovato told the AP that she planned to make a harder rock album than what she eventually produced.
"I went into this album thinking, ‘I’m gonna make an even harder rock album. I wanna go even more rock.’ So, I started this process and I realized, I was like, ‘There’s only so many happy rock songs that you can write.’ I’m in love, I’m feeling empowered, and I’m in this really great place, and I don’t know how to write rock songs that are, you know, all sunshine and rainbows. And there’s only so many of that, that you can write. And so, I was like, ‘I need to switch up the genre.’ So, I tried a couple of their genres, but what was really inspiring me was all the pop girlies and the pop artists that are out there today," she explained.
Before she announced the tour, Lovato performed at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, a venue that holds 4,000, much smaller than the arenas she will be headlining next year.
The tour will hit 23 cities in North America, starting April 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the Spectrum Center, which can hold about 17,500 for concerts.
Presales are open through Tuesday, with presale tickets going on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday. General tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
