Demi Lovato has taken a flip again towards rock along with her newest album, and extra lately she’s been revisiting her older materials and giving a few of her greatest songs rock makeovers. The newest of those is “Sorry Not Sorry,” that includes a visitor flip by Slash. And, throughout a current interview with SiriusXM’s Metal Ambassador Jose Mangin, Lovato shot her shot, revealing two different more durable rocking acts that she’d like to work with.
Lovato was talking with Mangin on the Metal Ambassador podcast when she delved into her love for heavier music and by the tip of the chat she was able to name out a few acts she’d actually need to collaborate with.
“Someone I’ve always wanted to work with is Corey Taylor and, you know, obviously working with bands like Knocked Loose would be sick too, so I think it’s something that’s on my wish list but hopefully I’ll have some collaborations for Revamped. We’re still working that out though.”

The Revamped album is arising quick, with a Sept. 15 launch scheduled by means of Island Records. She’s already set the desk to some extent with up to date rock variations of “Heart Attack” and “Cool for the Summer” coming upfront of the brand new Slash-guesting model of “Sorry Not Sorry.” “Slash is an iconic artist who I’ve been a fan of for years, it’s an absolute honor to have such a legend like him on the rock version of ‘Sorry Not Sorry,’” said Lovato of their pairing.
Digging deeper into her love of heavy music, Lovato credited an old boyfriend who got her into metal at a young age. He even took her to a Dimmu Borgir-Unearth concert. She recalled to Mangin, “So I was 14 at that show and I was probably about 90 pounds and I decided to go into the middle of the crowd and so I’m in the middle of the crowd and all of a sudden people start moshing like really moshing and I had been in pits before that weren’t as intense, but this was so intense and I was like, ‘I gotta get out of here,’ so I literally, I just jumped up and crowd surfed to the front of the stage and that was my first time crowd surfing and I was like, ‘I lost a shoe.’ It was so much fun.'”

She also added that Job for a Cowboy was one of her favorite metal bands, noting, “‘Entombment of a Machine’ is what started me on Job for a Cowboy and I just, there was something just like the guitar riffs, the scream in that song when it hits really hard. It was the first song that I realized metal music, in a way, can be catchy without being a pop song because, you listen for the guitar riffs, you listen for that certain part of the song, the drop and yeah. I just fell in love with it and that song is what did it for me.”
As stated, Lovato is reimagining her classic pop singles as rock versions, noting, “Creating this project has been incredibly fun and allowed me to express my passion for rock music in a new way, and I feel so much closer to my older music because of it. I can’t wait for everyone to hear more!” The Revamped album is due Sept. 15 with pre-orders and pre-saves at the moment underway.
