Lovato split from her longtime manager Phil McIntyre of PhillyMack last year.
She has released six studio albums since her smash debut, Don't Forget, in 2008.
For the most part, the 26-year-old's career has taken a back seat since she overdosed on drugs at her home in Los Angeles 10 months ago.
She celebrated her six months of sobriety January 25; that means she will hit the one year mark in late July, if all things continue on the straight and narrow.
