On Oct. 4, Demi Lovato took to Twitter to announce that she will take a break from music and the industry come 2017, writing “I am not meant for this business and the media.”
In light of her lengthy hiatus, here’s a list of the best Demi Lovato songs remixed to keep your ears occupied for the following year.
Demi Lovato – “Heart Attack” (Ravi Remix)
As the song title suggests, this remix is sure to make your heart race as its BPM increases. The dense production here flips Demi Lovato’s original song on its head.
Demi Lovato – “Cool For The Summer” (Plastic Plates Remix)
Building off the song’s catchy chorus of “oohs,” this remix slows things down a bit. A steadily paced bass line underlies lighter rhythms sprinkled throughout.
Demi Lovato – “Confident” (Candela Cibrian Remix)
Tapping a different vocalist is a sure way to shake a remix up. Here, Demi Lovato’s song is delivered with increased urgency that stems from the driving backbeat.
Demi Lovato – “Neon Lights” (Skorge Remix)
Lovato’s original song is rendered nearly unrecognizable here, as GWAR-like vocals are support heavy production elements. Though Lovato’s lighter and pop vocals appear sporadically, they serve as a secondary element here.
Demi Lovato – “Skyscraper” (Mutrix Remix)
Lovato’s fragile and melodic track is reimagined as an ambient production that kicks things up a notch. While her vocals are more sparse here than on the original song, the lyrical content isn’t lost.
Demi Lovato – “Body Say” (Sondrey & Callum McBride Remix)
This tropical take on Lovato’s most recent hit features — in an unexpected twist — male vocals. The breezy remix transforms her song from sensual slow listen to feel-good jam.
Demi Lovato – “Cool For The Summer” (Jump Smokers Remix)
This high-energy remix of Lovato’s biggest hit barely relents from beginning to end, save for a momentary breath of air in the middle that exists merely as a much needed break.
Demi Lovato – “No Promises” (Delta Jack Remix)
The already uptempo track receives a tropical infusion here, making it an even more ideal summer jam.
Demi Lovato – “No Promises” (Eden Prince Remix)
This remix starts off without straying too far from the original, but once the first chorus kicks in it heads down a laid-back, breezy path of its own.
