Hilary Duff makes a case for best musical comeback of the decade with “Mature.” Duff partnered with her husband and GRAMMY-winning songwriter/producer Mathew Koma, along with Madison Love, to create her first song in over ten years. As someone who grew up knowing Duff as the OG pop princess, the single feels like the perfect blend of nostalgia and evolution. It pays tribute to her early 2000s roots while embracing a more refined, grown-up sound that fits who she is in her thirties. Hats off to Duff — she got it right. Speaking about the single, Duff shared:
“‘Mature’ is a little conversation that my present self is having with my younger self. 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.”
This week, Duff joined Jake Shane on Therapuss for a stroll down memory lane, revisiting moments of her multi-decade career. The “Mature” singer was a part of several of the most recognizable pop culture films of the early 2000s, starring as Lizzie McGuire in the Disney Channel blockbuster, “Lizzie McGuire”, and Sam Montgomery in the iconic rom-com, A Cinderella Story. She continues to shine for newer generations with roles in shows like “Younger” and “How I Met Your Father,” and even went on to become a New York Times best-selling author.
Duff recently announced an upcoming docuseries that will follow her long-awaited musical return and personal journey. The docuseries will give fans an exclusive look at how Duff manages to balance raising a family, recording new music, live show rehearsals, and preparing to perform on stage for the first time in over a decade. Sounds to me like a tour announcement is on the horizon.
