OK, this is definitely what dreams are made of. Hilary Duff has announced that after more than a decade, she’s finally coming back with a new album titled Luck…or Something.
As revealed Friday (Nov. 21), the singer-actress’ first full-length since 2015’s Breath In. Breathe Out. is set to drop Feb. 20. “I am often asked how I still have my head on straight after growing up in this industry,” she said in a statement about the project. “The album title is my way of answering that question.”
“It’s luck, but there’s also a lot of weight in the ‘… or something,'” she continued. “Many of the things I’ve been through along the way are held there, and I feel like ultimately that’s what’s shaped me.”
Luck…or Something will be Duff’s sixth studio album. She dropped her first LP in 2002, starting off with holiday album Santa Claus Lane. The next year, she followed it up with Metamorphosis, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — a feat she outdid in 2005 with her two-week chart-topping compilation Most Wanted.
On the cover of her new album, the Lizzie McGuire alum lies on a carpeted floor in a simple magenta sweater and sheer stockings, gazing up at the ceiling. The Luck…or Something tracklist will feature comeback single “Mature,” which Duff cowrote with her husband, producer Matthew Koma, and released on Nov. 6.
“‘Mature’ is a little conversation that my present self is having with my younger self,” the performer said of her song at the time it dropped. “The two of us are reflecting on a past experience and sending love to each other. It’s a chuckle, a wink and a sense of being grateful that we are sure footed in where we landed.”
Duff has been gearing up for a full-fledged musical comeback since September, when she signed a new label deal with Atlantic Records. She also has a docuseries tracking her return to music in the works.
Just ahead of Luck…or Something‘s release, Duff will embark on an intimate run of performances kicking off Jan. 19, featuring stops at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, HISTORY in Toronto, the new Brooklyn Paramount theater and the Wiltern in Los Angeles.
