Demi Lovato sounds more confident than ever.
The singer, 30, is gearing up to release her album REVAMPED on Sept. 15 via Island Records, which gives 10 of their biggest songs to date a rock twist. On Friday, they shared the heavy, new cut of their hit “Confident.”
The fan-favorite song originally appeared on their 2015 album of the same name and topped the Dance Club Songs Chart at the time. It has since been certified 4x Platinum.
On the new version, the recording artist, who goes by she/her and they/them pronouns, exhibits a self-assured, brazen attitude. Their vocals soar over the track, which features new production from Warren “Oak” Felder, Keith “Ten4” Sorrells and Alex Nice and includes percussion that sounds fiercer than ever.
As the hitmaker belts out a vocal run after singing, “So you say I’m complicated / But you’ve had me underrated,” in the bridge, they prove there’s really nothing “wrong with being confident.”
“Confident (Rock Version)” is the latest single off REVAMPED, which features all new vocals and production on each track. It follows the release of “Sorry Not Sorry (Rock Version),” which features rock icon Slash and dropped when they announced the album in July. Earlier this year, the former Disney Channel star also shared “Heart Attack (Rock Version)” and “Cool for the Summer (Rock Version).”
Lovato shared a statement about the upcoming project in a press release when she first announced it. The Grammy nominee said, “With REVAMPED, I wanted to pay homage to the songs that resonated the most with fans and played a big role in my career by breathing an exciting new life into them.”
“Creating this project has been incredibly fun and allowed me to express my passion for rock music in a new way, and I feel so much closer to my older music because of it. I can’t wait for everyone to hear more!” the pop-punk star continued.
