Hilary Duff signs with Atlantic Records, announces music comeback after 10 years

Hilary Duff will be making a comeback to music after a decade-long hiatus!

The actress cum pop star confirmed on Tuesday, September 9, that she will be releasing new music soon. Her last album, Breathe In. Breathe Out., came out in June 2015. She confirmed the news in a statement signed by Atlantic Records, also revealing that a docuseries is also in the works.

The former Disney child star, 37, will work with Sam Wrench, the director and executive producer, for a project that

"will chronicle Duff’s long-awaited musical return and personal journey, offering an unfiltered vignette into Hilary’s world," per the release. It will focus on her "ups, downs, and everything in between," and "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."

Everything we know about Hilary Duff's massive comeback to music:

Variety has reported that Hilary Duff's forthcoming project will be her sixth studio album. Her first few albums, including Metamorphosis and her namesake album, dropped via Buena Vista and Hollywood Records.

When she signed to RCA Records in July 2014, she dropped her first single, Chasing the Sun, under it. It was penned by Jason Reeves, Colbie Caillat, and Toby Gad. As for “Breathe In. Breathe Out.," it was her only album under the label and her first in seven years since she debuted Dignity in 2007.

Since then, Hilary Duff has shifted her focus on acting, having starred on “Younger” from 2015 through 2021 before she joined as the lead actress of “How I Met Your Father,” which only lasted two seasons before it got canceled.

As of this writing, it is unclear what the name of her forthcoming docuseries will be, and other details about her impending music project also remain scarce. Sam Wrench is most known for having helmed Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film and Sabrina Carpenter’s A Nonsense Christmas, which was a Netflix holiday special.

Back in December 2023, Hilary Duff admitted to occasionally contemplating a return to music:

“I always am thinking about it,” she told Access Hollywood. “I never wanna blame my kids for this, but I’m so immersed in motherhood right now, and it’s so much easier to book an acting job and be like, ‘OK, I have to be at work at 6 a.m. and then I’m gonna be done by 9 tonight and then I’m gonna be home.’ I am in the middle of my real life, and that is very much a part of not my real life, like, from my past. So, I have to just figure out a way for those two things to meet.”

Hilary Duff also said that she would eventually cave and return to the studio one day:

“I really do believe that I’ll just one day be like, ‘I have to do it,’” she explained. “There’s going to be something that comes over me, and just like, I have to do it. So, it’s gonna happen — I just don’t know when.” She also quipped at the time that she was flattered that “someone out there still wants to listen to my music.”
