Disney pop princess gets personal on second album
By Glenn GamboaDemi Lovato was distracted.
Her tour bus, parked backstage at the recent Bamboozle Festival at the Meadowlands, was so close to the main stage that the thunderous guitar riffs of Billy Talent were literally rocking her ride.
The 16-year-old star of the Disney Channel’s Camp Rock and Sonny With a Chance sprang up on the leather banquette where she had been reclining and suddenly shouted, “C’mon, let’s go!”
It wasn’t an act. Lovato wanted to rock.
And as she embarked on her first headlining arena tour and readied her second album, Here We Go Again, due out today, Lovato was set to prove it.
“I know a lot about myself now,” she said.
“Once you find yourself — or at least have an idea of who you are and your musical style and sense — because it’s going to keep changing — it gets easier.”
It also gets easier when your first album, Don’t Forget, hits No. 2 on the charts and you are introduced to music fans as a pal of the Jonas Brothers’.
“They gave me a lot of help because I was so new to this,” Lovato said. “But with this next album, it gets a little bit more personal, a little bit more in tune with my past, with things that I’ve been through.”
The festival, she said, gave her a rare break from her tight schedule of shooting TV shows and movies — including Princess Protection Program on the Disney Channel — and recording.
Sure, Lovato said, she wishes she could spend more time writing and playing music and less time dealing with the business aspects, but she recognizes that work and play go together.
“Dealing with this whole crazy thing is just a part of the journey,” she said, “and, no matter what you go through, you have to accept it.”
