SKIP: Demi Lovato, “Unbroken”

Everybody loves a comeback, and fallen Disney idol Demi Lovato has all of the perfect ingredients: a rehab stay, an apologetic public re-entry, and a highly personal album. “Unbroken” is as polished as you’d expect from any Disney singer (although Lovato has left the Disney channel show “Sonny with a Chance,” she still records for the company’s Hollywood Records label). And like most Disney records, it sounds like it was made by an entire branch of government. But unlike those albums, Lovato’s authenticity and voice manage to rise above the mountains of production.

I’m skipping “Unbroken” because musically it’s no different from the hundreds of other formulaic factory albums that numb my brain. Still, I’m looking forward to hearing the artist Demi Lovato will become once she cuts the final Disney cord.
