A decade after the release of her last album, Hilary Duff is returning with new music.
The singer announced her return on Instagram in a post that appears to show her in a recording studio alongside her musician husband, Matthew Koma, with a caption that reads “new music … or something.”
She’d previously teased her return in other posts, too. In one from Aug. 27, Duff made a nostalgia-filled post for the 22nd anniversary of her 2003 album Metamorphosis, in which she talked about the past and alluded to upcoming career moves.
“Although these are distant memories for me, thank you for showing up the way that you did,” Duff wrote, ending the caption with “To be continued…”.
According to Variety and Today, Duff has signed with Atlantic Records. The outlets also says a docuseries is in the works about Duff’s family life, journey back to the music industry and attempts to balance the two.
CBC News has reached out to Atlantic Records and representatives for Duff but has not received a reply.
Duff has been mostly absent from the music industry since her 2015 album Breathe In. Breathe Out. She released a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song Little Lies in 2016 and sang alongside her husband on RAC’s 2020 remix of Never Let You Go.
Instead, Duff has focused on her acting career. After rising to fame as Disney’s Lizzie McGuire and starring in films like A Cinderella Story, she’s taken on roles in recent years in the horror movie The Haunting of Sharon Tate, and the sitcom spinoff How I Met Your Father.
No release date has been set for any new music or the reported documentary.
Still, fans are excited.
“I LOVED breathe in and breathe out so am here for this,” one wrote on Reddit.
Another simply noted that, “The world is healing.”
And in a fitting callback to her early work, another posted a gif of Duff singing “This is what dreams are made of,” a line from a song she recorded in 2003 for The Lizzie McGuire Movie soundtrack.
