“Cool for the Summer” by Demi Lovato is Different

American singer slash songwriter slash actress who we first see in Barney and Friends has really grown into a curious adult. If I didn’t know she’s a former Disney child star, I would not suspect it. But that’s mostly the case with Disney stars, eh?

We have already established that she’s now a beautiful grown up woman crooning ballad or showing off her impressive vocals. But with this recent turn of events, Demi Lovato’s new track “Cool for the Summer” certainly has a shock value.

“Got my mind on your body
And your body on my mind
Got a taste for the cherry
I just need to take a bite”

The analogous term Demi Lovato used will not make you doubt its meaning. It could have been the same even if she said it straight forward – except that it would lose its artistic side and probably banned from some countries.

Still, the lines are enough to catch the attention of people listening across the globe, earning her controversies and issues; one that includes ripping off some artists’ music, namely Jessie J’s “Domino” and Katy Perry’s “I Kiss A Girl.”

Once you listen to the song, the start of the chorus, “Take me down into paradise,” would jump on you as reminiscent of Jessie J’s “Domino” specifically in the part where she sings “Rock my world into the sunlight …” but after that, it is a different game.

To be fair, with countless of music, it is hard to sound really unique. And Demi Lovato isn’t the only one having a problem in here. On the issue about Katy Perry’s “I Kiss A Girl,” it just happens that they both like cherries and apparently, many people have a problem with that.

But looking past those, the track is a strong stand by the pop star. The production lived up to its title, employing forceful synthesizers even at the quiet corners of the song.

The guitar riffs flourishes throughout and there’s a hint of EDM at the start. Although we didn’t hear her impressive vocals, it helps add a refreshing value on the song, forcing us to guess on what’s next.

“Cool for the Summer” is certainly different. You just have to choose which kind.
