Hilary Duff - Hilary Duff (2004)

Hilary Duff is the self-titled third studio album by American singer Hilary Duff. It was released on September 29, 2004, shortly after her 17th birthday, by Hollywood Records. Duff cited the album as being more mature than her previous albums, stating "Basically, I'm not Lizzie McGuire anymore". The seventeen-track album saw Duff collaborating with the same producers she did on Metamorphosis, saying that it was more comfortable for her that way. Recording sessions for the album took place during May to August 2004, partially between filming of Raise Your Voice (2004) and The Perfect Man (2005), both in which Duff had starring roles.

The lead single from Hilary Duff, "Fly" premiered on August 26, 2004 on MTV's Total Request Live. The song was officially released as a single on October 19, 2004, it peaked outside the top twenty on the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream chart but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.[3] "Fly" was the only single released in the United States.

According to Duff, the album incorporates elements of pop and rock music, and it represents changes that are specific to her life and that everyone experiences. Duff worked with several producers on the album such as The Matrix. Others who collaborated on the album include Chico Bennett, Matthew Gerrard, John Shanks, and his frequent writing partner Kara DioGuardi.
