So when she does like Timberland/Darkchild style late-90s/early 2000s R&B her performance never quite lands, for me, cause she's singing too hard. I think her lane is closer to 80s Whitney voice vs machine with a soul undercurrent type thing.
Also, idk why Demi fans want Games as a single. It is pretty catchy but blue eyed soul a la P!nk's first album is actually not her lane. There's a way to sing hard over groove music (see: Aretha Franklin) but Demi hasn't quite mastered that, imo.

There's a style recently of white ppl R&B from like Bieber, Nick Jonas, Demi, etc., that I am really into. I wonder if there are songwriters or producers in common on these tracks...? Hmm

I think the stuff I like has a lot more sparseness/minimalism in the production and a lot more build/dramatic range than the stuff that feels too Timbaland for me.

Not that Timbaland had no use for sparseness but I don't think there's as much dramatic build in his tracks, they're more setting up a groove and riding it the whole song, rather than starting sparse and building to thick, dense tracks.

Well, what do I know about what the market wants. Lonely and Games are both definitely in the lower half of my ranking off that album, but if people are listening, then go for it! Also Games and SNS might feel like the same genre but imo they are extremely different in structure
