Demi Lovato Announces the Release of a ‘Holy Fvck’ Redux

Demi Lovato is planning on releasing a redux of their 2022 album Holy Fvck, titled Revamped. Revamped will be released on September 15.

While speaking with Rolling Stone about Revamped, Lovato explained how their wonderful experience of touring last year inspired them to want to release the remix album. Lovato said, โ€œThe fans loved it. I got home from tour, I was like, โ€˜Why donโ€™t I just record those versions and release them?โ€™

โ€œI love revisiting these past moments in my career,โ€ Lovato continues. โ€œWeโ€™ve done a great job of reenvisioning the songs, and Iโ€™m really happy with them.โ€

Lovato also informed the outlet that Revamped will include a new version of their 2011 song โ€œGive Your Heart a Break.โ€ Lovato stated, โ€œGetting to perform [โ€˜Give Your Heart a Breakโ€™] live after not performing it in so long felt really good.

“The crowd was happy, and thatโ€™s what itโ€™s all about,โ€ Lovato adds. โ€œIt has to come from inside: If you just think about what the audience wants, you sometimes ignore what your needs are, and it takes the fun out of it when youโ€™re only catering to other people. Keeping in mind what the fans will want, plus what I want to do, and finding that balance is whatโ€™s really important.โ€

Lovato later explained that they wanted to keep the essence of the songs from Holy Fvck when developing the idea for Revamped. They said, โ€œI changed the melody a little bit in certain spots and then try to hit higher notes than the originals. I interject a little [on โ€œTell Me You Love Me”] because I donโ€™t want that negative connotation of โ€˜Youโ€™re only somebody if youโ€™re with somebodyโ€™ and thatโ€™s something thatโ€™s always bugged me about the song as Iโ€™ve performed it on the road.โ€

Lovato also discussed with Rolling Stone how the meaning behind many of their older songs have now changed. The “Cool for the Summer” singer said, “Itโ€™s interesting. Sometimes Iโ€™ll perform songs that were breakup songs, and I used to think about the person.

“I perform them now, and I just donโ€™t think about the person I wrote them for,” Lovato continued. “Itโ€™s just different. I donโ€™t know. I think as you grow, you move on from the situations, and the songs mean different things to you.โ€
