Demi reimagines her career-defining tracks with a fresh perspective that represents her current artistic vision on REVAMPED, which features entirely new vocals and production. Demi's artistic growth and versatility are on display in the re-recorded music, as she easily transitions her songs from pop to rock while preserving her characteristic strong vocals.
"With REVAMPED, I wanted to pay homage to the songs that resonated the most with fans and played a big role in my career by breathing exciting new life into them," Demi stated of the album. Making this project has been a lot of fun since it has allowed me to show my love for rock music in a new way, and it has brought me closer to my older music."
Demi originally played rock versions of some of the songs from REVAMPED during her 2022 HOLY FVCK Tour in support of her album of the same name. On Demi's HOLY FVCK Tour, her all-female band included Nita Strauss, one of rock music's most acclaimed guitarists. Demi returned to her rock and pop-punk origins on the critically praised HOLY FVCK, which contained hits "29," "SUBSTANCE," and "SKIN OF MY TEETH" and features from Yungblud, Royal & The Serpent, and Dead Sara. The album debuted at the top of three Billboard charts: Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums, earning her a nomination for Outstanding Music Artist in 2023.
