The actress signed with Atlantic Records in September ahead of her first album in a decade
The decade-long wait for Hilary Duff‘s return to the music scene will come to an end sooner than fans think, the actress teased in a recent interview with Variety. “We’re getting something really soon,” she said. “[My fans] are going to hear something so soon, like in the blink of an eye.”
Duff mentioned that she has been in the studio working with her husband Matthew Koma, a singer-songwriter who worked on her most recent album, 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out, as well as hits with Zedd, Carly Rae Jepsen, Pentatonix, and more.
“I always knew I was going to return to music,” Duff said. “I needed to feel safe and I needed to have the right people in my corner and be absolutely 100 percent ready. Honestly, I needed to have 10 years of life under my belt. I needed a lot to say. This album feels like the inner workings of my brain and I really am so excited to connect with people again on that level, that very forward-facing level.”
In September, Duff inked a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Following the announcement, searches for Hilary Duff on Spotify increased by 400 percent and U.S. streams of her catalog jumped nearly 80 percent, while first-time listeners rose by 75 percent.
Duff will also star in a new docuseries directed by Sam Wrench, who recently worked on Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, and Laufey’s A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl.
“All of the things are happening,” Duff said. “I can’t give up too much information or everyone’s gonna kill me, but I am dancing and … everything’s in motion. It’s exciting.”
