Hilary Duff Inks With Atlantic Ahead of Return to Music
The new deal coincides with a docuseries about her restarting her music career
Storied pop star Hilary Duff has signed with Atlantic Records, confirming her impending return to music. Atlantic has not shared details regarding who at the label will be overseeing Duff’s activities or how many releases she will be putting out.
Hilary Duff:
Duff released five albums through Disney’s Hollywood Records between 2003 and 2007.
This deal stemmed from Duff’s starring role on the Disney Channel hit series, Lizzie McGuire.
Duff signed with RCA Records in 2014 to release her latest album, Breathe In. Breathe Out (2015).
Since then, Duff has been focusing on acting. She was on the romantic comedy-drama, Younger, from 2015 to 2021. She then starred on the sitcom How I Met Your Father from 2022 to 2023.
Docuseries:
Alongside the new deal, Atlantic announced a docuseries chronicling Duff’s return to music.
Sam Wrench will serve as executive producer.
Wrench has directed music-oriented films such as Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Billie Eilish: Live at the O2, and Sabrina Carpenter’s Netflix special, A No Nonsense Christmas With Sabrina Carpenter.
A description of the series provided by Atlantic reads: “Fans will ride shotgun as she balances raising a family, recording new music, live show rehearsals, and preparing to perform on stage for the first time in over a decade.”
This suggests a tour is coming in addition to new music.
