carried herself with dignity, from her 2001 TV debut starring in “Lizzy
McGuire,” through big screen hits like “Cinderella Story” and “Cheaper
by the Dozen,” to her career as a multi-platinum recording artist,
with more than 13 million albums sold to date. Now Hilary brings her
customary class and splash to her new Hollywood Records CD “Dignity.”
At 19, Hilary has matured into a sophisticated singer and songwriter.
Hilary has co-written all the songs on “Dignity”, always aiming high
and ultimately creating an album of depth and consequence. To realize
her vision for the new CD, she teamed with Grammy-Award winning Kara
Dioguardi ( Gwen Stefani, Pussy Cat Dolls, Enrique Iglesias, Kelly
Clarkson), as well as top producer/songwriters like Chico Bennett &
Richard Vission (Madonna, Usher, Killers), Tim & Bob (Nas, Madonna,
Jennifer Lopez), Vada Nobles (Rhianna, Lauryn Hill, Faith
Evans, Natasha Bedingfield, Warren G), Fredwrecke (Snoop Dog, Eminem,
Fergi) Will.I.Am and Rhett Lawrence.
In the title track, she talks about her experiences and observations
of living in Los Angeles (“Where’s your dignity/I think you lost it in
the Hollywood Hills”). “Danger” explores the suspect advances of an
older man, while “With Love” turns the world’s most common song topic
upside down. (“I can take your honesty/All your words weigh heavily/I’m
listening to you all the time”). The song “Stranger” reveals a
relationship that is picture perfect in public, but cold behind closed
doors. With every track, Hilary probes life and love more intensely, and
with more vulnerability than she has before.
A native of Houston, Hilary Duff gained global recognition in 2001
starring in the hit Disney Channel series “Lizzie McGuire. In May 2003,
she brought her character to the big screen with Walt Disney Pictures’
“The Lizzie McGuire Movie.” She went on to co-star in hit films like
“Agent Cody Banks,” “Cheaper By the Dozen” and “Cinderella Story,”
“Raise Your Voice,” “Perfect Man,” and “Material Girls.”
Hilary’s ..1 solo debut CD “Metamorphosis sold 4 times platinum,
followed by her self –titled album and “Most Wanted” both of which sold 3
million records. Hilary enjoyed Top 40 hits like “So Yesterday,” “Come
Clean,” “Fly,” and “Wake Up.” Hilary’s “Most Wanted” CD was her second
.. 1 debut and it remained .. 1 for 2 weeks. With “Most Wanted” Hilary
began to experiment more with her style and music as seen in her
videos for “Wake Up” where she donned wigs and different looks and for
“Beat of My Heart” in which she exclusively wore high end haute couture
and began favoring more dance and rhythmic beats.
Hilary has some exciting movie projects on deck in this year,
including “War, Inc.” (starring John Cusack, Sir Ben Kingsley and
Marisa Tomei) and the animated feature “Foodfight.” Hilary recently
debuted her own perfume “With Love”, the video and commercial of which
were shot by world-renown Matthew Ralston. But her music – and the
upcoming tour – remain front and center these days. And that’s just how
she wants it. Hilary Duff always connected closely with her audience.
Now, she’s saying more — much more than ever, and with dignity — with
her music.
