Demi Lovato said she will perform new, unreleased music during her “It’s Not That Deep” tour [1].
The announcement signals a shift in the artist's creative direction as she moves into a new pop era. By debuting unreleased material live, Lovato can gauge audience reaction and build anticipation for upcoming studio recordings.
Lovato is currently traveling for the tour, which includes a Boston leg scheduled for 2026 [4]. The tour serves as a primary vehicle for the singer to promote her newest material and generate excitement among her fan base [1].
This promotional cycle follows the development of Lovato's ninth studio album [1]. The tour's rollout began with tickets going on sale Oct. 31 [2]. Recent stops have included a performance at Madison Square Garden on April 24 [3].
While the specific venue for the recent tease was not identified, the singer used the platform to bridge the gap between her current setlist and future releases [1]. The strategy of integrating unreleased tracks into a live show is a common tool for pop artists to maintain momentum between official album cycles.
Lovato has focused on a pop-centric sound for this era, moving away from previous stylistic explorations. The “It’s Not That Deep” tour is designed to reflect this sonic shift through both the musical arrangements, and the visual production of the shows [1].
“Demi Lovato said she will perform new, unreleased music”
The decision to debut unreleased tracks during a tour suggests that Lovato is prioritizing an iterative approach to her ninth studio album. By testing new material in a live environment, she can refine the songs based on real-time crowd energy before finalizing the studio versions for a commercial release.
