Is she fully sober? In the doc, Lovato reveals that her present approach to sobriety includes some alcohol and weed. (She also says she’s getting regular injections of the anti-opioid drug naltrexone, or Vivitrol, which has been found to help reduce relapse by blocking the body’s response to heroin.) We hear from her friends and family, who share their concerns about this approach, and from her rehab case manager, who delicately explains her fans should not take this as an endorsement of any particular recovery approach. Even the reigning king of celebrity 12-step success stories, Sir Elton John, weighs in: “Moderation doesn’t work.”
With all due respect to John’s long tenure (30-plus years clean and sober), Lovato says, “It’s working for me, and it has worked over the past two years. My whole point is just that it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.” Today, the singer sums up her approach to sobriety this way: “Look, you obviously don’t touch anything that can kill you. If it comes from the ground, it’s safe for me. You know?” She leans forward, giggling a bit as she speaks directly into the computer’s camera. “The key word is green.” MINZY 210405-Black Shirt
Her new album, out April 2, can also be played as a companion piece to the doc, and covers similar emotional territory, both metaphorically and sometimes literally. “I’ve been working on it since Valentine’s Day of 2018, and I can’t tell you how many times this album has changed course,” she says. It swelled over recent months to include 19 tracks and eventually took on its own hybrid double title, Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over.
Lovato wrote a number of the songs over the course of a COVID-safe songwriting camp last October. Justin Tranter was among the writers and producers who gathered for the creative staycation, dividing into different teams and working spaces and blasting through the translation of Lovato’s raw emotions into lyrics and melodies. Over group dinners, Tranter says, “she’s just sharing stories and we’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s a song, that’s a song, that’s a song.'” In the mornings, before each team split off, they would huddle to decide who was working on what. “And Demi would keep checking on us, to make sure we aren’t f—ing it up.”
Among the songs with parallel beats in the film are “Melon Cake” — about how Lovato would get watermelon “cakes” instead of the real thing on her birthday — and “I.C.U.,” a stripped-down ballad about waking up in the hospital temporarily blind and not being able to recognize her sister at her bedside. “California Sober,” shorthand for people in recovery from other substances who still find relief in marijuana, particularly for treatment of anxiety, is a nod to her key word, green.
