Fast Song Out: Demi Lovato Returns To Pop Music, Releases First Single In Three Years
Demi Lovato released her first single in three years, Fast, returning to pop after her rock album 'Holy Fvck'. She teased it on social media; her new album is expected this year.
Demi Lovato has released her first new single in three years. The singer dropped the electro-pop track Fast on Friday, August 1, after she previously declared she was ready to return to her pop roots after dabbling with a rock sound on her last album Holy Fvck.
As she teased the new single in posts on social media, Demi told fans: 'My pop music coming back to life after we had a funeral for it." The singer previously held a 'funeral" for her pop sound by sharing a picture of herself and her team dressed in black with Demi holding up her middle finger to the camera. She captioned the snap: 'A funeral for my pop music".
Rolling Stone magazine recently reported Demi would be embracing pop again on her next project, with the publication suggesting the album – which will be her ninth studio record – is expected to be released later in the year.
She has been working on her new music with songwriter/producer Zhone, who told Rolling Stone they had a lot of fun in the studio together while making the new record. He said: 'It's been so inspiring working with Demi and experiencing her journey of continued leveling up. She is such a master in the studio. This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music! It really comes across throughout."
A source added to the publication: 'Over the past few years, Demi has found love, joy, and newfound confidence, making the choice to approach life with much more lightness and fun. She took this sentiment into the studio, which can be felt in every track."
Demi – who married her fiance Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in May – previously admitted she was still 'figuring out" her sound for the new album but was working on a number of love songs. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last year, Demi explained, 'It's true. I'm working on new music. I'm kind of figuring out my sound right now. I don't know when it'll come out but it'll come out when I'm ready."
The host then asked his guest if it would be a max of 'happy songs and sad songs" and she replied, 'I tend to write from the place that I am in in the moment. Because it's actually been like… it's been amazing. I've been writing nothing but love songs and sexy songs because I'm in this really good place. It feels good to be able to write coming from that place."

Ioan Gruffudd On Deleted Wolverine Scene In Fantastic Four: ‘I Played Both'
Ioan Gruffudd recently quipped about the now-deleted crossover between Mister Fantastic and Wolverine. Ioan Gruffudd recently opened up about the 'wolverine scene' in the 2005 movie, Fantastic Four. The actor, who played Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic, in the superhero film, revealed that he doesn't know why the scene was scrapped. But he also jokingly mentioned how he has been part of both the roles even if for a brief period. In a surprising turn of events in the American superhero movie, Fantastic Four, Reed Richards was briefly transformed into Wolverine from the X-Men film franchise. His face was being morphed in an attempt to impress Sue Storm, played by Jessica Alba. However, the scene, which was a lighthearted nod to the X-Men franchise, was deleted from the final cut of the film. Recently, wondering about one of the earliest crossovers in superhero cinema, Ioan Gruffudd told Vulture in a recent interview, 'I don't know why that didn't make it into the film." Ioan Gruffudd On The Fantastic Four Scene Featuring Wolverine In the same conversation, the 51-year-old actor revealed that he was unaware of the real reason the scene was cut, but he feels glad to have been a part of it. 'Paying homage to the great Hugh Jackman was quite a thrill because I absolutely love him as an actor and his Wolverine. I'm glad that it has a chance to exist somewhere," he said. Gruffudd revealed how the scene was actually made, 'I was in Vancouver on a soundstage and Jessica (Alba) was in New York, so we weren't actually together, but we look perfectly in sync," he added. Ioan Gruffudd Reveals Playing Both Mister Fantastic And Wolverine Some of the audience mentioned that the scrapping of the scene might be due to its noticeably weak CGI. In contrast, others thought that the makers wanted to avoid the complications related to the collaboration of the Fantastic Four and X-Men universes. At this point of the conversation, Gruffudd technically joked that he has 'played both Mister Fantastic and Wolverine", even if that is 'For a brief second, yes, that's a good pub-quiz question." Legacy Of Mister Fantastic Role After Gruffudd portrayed Reed Richards, the Fantastic Four leader who had the power to stretch his body, also reprised his role in the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. In the 2015 reboot movie, Miles Teller played the character which turned into a college-age genius by then. Finally, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which premiered on July 25, Pedro Pascal took on the original role and has been winning hearts.

Hrithik Roshan couldn't stop praising his co-star Jr NTR, calling him 'incredible" and 'a true champ". The two are set to share the screen for the first time in War 2. 'NTR is incredible, and a true champ," Hrithik said. 'He's the first co-star I've worked with who doesn't need rehearsals. He has every step inside him already. That amazed me completely. Working on the dance-off with NTR was an extraordinary experience, and I learned a lot from him, which I'll now incorporate," the actor said. The two megastars have been engaging in light-hearted social media banter over whose name should appear first in their upcoming dance face-off number. The friendly rivalry spilt onto X (formerly Twitter), with both actors vying for billing supremacy in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest song sequences in Bollywood history. Despite the playful sparring, Hrithik has only had glowing things to say about his co-star. 'He's my favourite co-star. Amazing and brilliant," the Fighter star remarked, signalling a deep respect and chemistry that's bound to electrify the screen. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced under the YRF Spy Universe banner, War 2 is being touted as 2025's biggest film. NTR makes his massive Bollywood debut in a never-seen-before avatar. Reports suggest he brings an unpredictable, powerful energy to the role, adding an entirely new dynamic to the franchise. The film has been shot across Salamanca, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, and Italy, with production starting back in October 2023. From leaked on-set images to mounting speculation about its high-octane action set pieces, War 2 is shaping up to be a global cinematic event. Meanwhile, North American advance bookings for War 2 are now open, and early numbers suggest a stellar start. And with the release of the much-hyped dance face-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR on the horizon, the buzz is only going to skyrocket. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
