}} ''Here We Go Again'' is the second studio album by American singer Demi Lovato. It was released on July 21, 2009, through Hollywood Records. Unlike her previous album, ''Don't Forget'' (2008), Lovato did not collaborate from the Jonas Brothers, as she wanted to work with different people and give the album a personal approach. Lovato collaborated with established songwriters and producers from the album, such as E. Kidd Bogart, Gary Clark, Toby Gad, John Mayer, Jon McLaughlin, Lindy Robbins and John Fields, who produced from her previous album ''Don't Forget''. Lovato also collaborated with The Academy Is... lead singer William Beckett to write a song about a strained relationship with her father, which was originally set to appear from the album, but later dropped. The song later appeared on her third album ''Unbroken'' (2011). ''Here We Go Again'' derives mainly from the pop rock genre,〔http://www.pluggedin.com/music-reviews/album/demilovato-herewegoagain〕 mixed with influences of power pop, jazz-pop, soul and pop.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Demi Lovato )〕 Lovato wanted the album's music to be less rock and more mellow than her previous album, while exploring more mature sounds and lyrics. Critical reception of the album was positive; critics praised Lovato for not relying on vocal manipulations and instead showing off her natural ability. Although some critics called the album catchy, others felt that it was predictable and at times too much alike Kelly Clarkson. ''Here We Go Again'' sold 108,000 copies during its first week of release in the United States and debuted at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200. Since its release, the album has sold approximately over 500,000 copies in the US, and was certified Gold. Internationally, the album was a hit and peaked inside the top 40 on charts in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Greece, Mexico, New Zealand and Spain. It was certified Platinum in Brazil, and Gold in Chile. "Here We Go Again" was released as the lead single from the album in June 2009 and was Lovato's first solo single to reached the top 40 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, peaking at number 15. "Remember December" was the second and final single from the album in January 2010. To promote the album, Lovato embarked on her first headlining tour, Summer Tour 2009. The album sold over 650,000 copies worldwide. ==Background== Lovato was discovered by Disney Channel during an open call audition in her hometown of Dallas, Texas and made her debut on the short series ''As the Bell Rings'' in 2007.〔 She subsequently auditioned for a role on the television series ''Jonas'', but did not get the part.〔 Instead, she received the main role in the musical film ''Camp Rock'' after singing for the network executives.〔 Later, she auditioned for a role on the series ''Sonny with a Chance'', which she also received. Lovato enlisted the Jonas Brothers, her ''Camp Rock'' co-stars, to work with her on her debut studio album, ''Don't Forget'' (2008). The writing began during the filming of ''Camp Rock'' in 2007 and continued on the band's Look Me in the Eyes Tour in 2008.〔 Lovato wanted to establish herself as a musician with the album, and not being known as just "the girl from ''Camp Rock''."〔 She said that her goal was to have fun on the album and that she would tackle deeper themes on her sophomore effort. The album was released in September 2008 and debuted at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart. Lovato recalled the experience, "It was like, O.K., you've done it. You're no longer just succeeding because you're in a movie with the Jonas Brothers. These people bought your music for you."〔 Later in February 2009, Lovato's first headlining sitcom, ''Sonny with a Chance'', premiered on Disney Channel.〔 ''Don't Forget'' was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Demi Lovato Certifications )〕 and spawned two singles, "Get Back" and "La La Land".〔 In January 2009, Lovato announced to MTV News that she had already begun writing songs for her second studio album, as well as revealing its approach: "It's going to take a different sound, so hopefully it goes over well. I sing a lot of rock, but this time I want to do more John Mayer-ish type of songs. Hopefully I can write with people like him. I love their music — it would be amazing." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Here We Go Again (Demi Lovato album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
