After revealing the cover artwork for her new single Skyscraper a couple days ago, Demi Lovato‘s song has been reviewed by Free Wired, who only had nice things to say about the single! The song is set to be released on July 19th on iTunes. Here’s what they had to say!

Co-written by Estonian “bubblegoth” singer, Kerli, and producer, Toby Gad (Selena Gomez “A Year Without Rain”, Fergie “Big Girls Don’t Cry”), “Skyscraper” seems like it was tailor made for Demi. With heartbreaking, yet optimistic lyrics placed over minimal yet emotionally effective production, the song seemed like the perfect opportunity for Lovato to emote, and emote, she certainly does.

“Skies are crying, I am watching,” she whispers in the first verse. “Catching teardrops in my hands.” Strangely befitting, she sounds vulnerable, almost broken, over a bare, piano-only backdrop. As the second verse resounds (“As the smoke clears, I awaken,”) she’s already regained most of her confidence and composure as the beat picks up, yet there’s still a hint of fragility in her voice, which diminishes as the song goes on. Until we reach the finale, that is; the final chorus.

The chorus in “Skyscraper” is arguably the best thing about the song. The creme de la creme, if you will. Heartbreaking yet optimistic, catchy yet powerful in substance, it stays with you for all the right reasons. “You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am, like I’m made of glass, like I’m made of paper,” she dares us. “Go on and try to bring me down, I will be rising from the ground,” she then proclaims. “Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper.” The final rendition, however, is all the more mesmerizing. Openly weeping by the end of the song, it gives Lovato the edge to transform from Disney princess into fully-fledged, true musician.

“Skyscraper” is a triumph for Demi Lovato in every sense; a triumphant return to the music industry, a triumphant return to prominence, and, above all, a triumphant emergence from the ashes.

Sounds really good!

Sound great but her voice has little grain

by **Leo92** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 4:37 am

And that's why she's the queen.

I'm not here for a piano ballad. :cry:

The video teaser looks great anyway. She's super gorgeous!

I'm shocked this song is fantastic

The song is great. Very emotional especially the part where she yells close to the end. I'm honestly glad that it turned out to be a ballad.

by **xtofer** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:36 am

Sounds like a Kerli ballad. Emotional and all that. It fits her though and I think this is the best thing Demi released so far.

by **Jesper** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:46 am

the song is awesome, just wonder why she starts of a era with a ballad though

by **glamdoll** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 7:13 am

To be honest, i have never heard any Demi Lovato's song, but i really like this one.

by **candyman** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 7:25 am

#13 on US iTunes right now.

Ballads are always risky at the start of an era... I like this but it sounds a dime a dozen.
