Neon Reviews: Demi Lovato – Unbroken

Demi Lovato - Unbroken

Chris Brown - F.A.M.E.

Neon Reviews: David Archuleta – The Other Side Of Down

David Archuleta - The Other Side Of Down

The sophomore album. It’s a peculiar thing. Sometimes it forces an artist to become so desperate for relevancy that they practically turn into someone they’re not.
