Lizzie McGuire is back. Just kidding, it’s Hilary Duff, mother of one, divorcee of retired hockey player. Once a Disney star, Hilary Duff is set to release an album in early 2015. As a 27 year old, Hilary is also facing an internal conflict. She is torn between facing adulthood and sticking with her tween roots that stuck out in her 2003 album, Metamorphosis. Jamming out to that album in portable cd players was almost like a religious experience to many of her fans. Hilary has tried to reach out to that devoted audience again with two new singles.

In July of 2014, Hilary released “Chasing the Sun”. This song has an infectious beat and a cheerful message. Hilary is attempting to appeal to the worker bees of her generation. The music video portrays Hilary daydreaming at a desk job about being on the beach with a beautiful man. Some say that she is not, in fact, chasing the sun, but that she is chasing the fame and frivolity of her youth. Shortly after the debut of “Chasing the Sun” Hilary came out with “All About You” in August. This song has helped Hilary gain a lot of traction. Although it has a bit of a more raunchy message, Hilary maintains a sense of dignity and pride while engaging in all female flash mobs in empty streets that only moms can ever attain. Her high pitched voice and attire, however, remind listeners that she still has a young teen soul just waiting to burst out. I predict that she will make an impressive comeback with her new album.
