On her new record, luck…or something, she’s as familiar as ever. That’s largely because this is music you’ve heard before: fizzy, centrist pop, precisely positioned at the crossroads of autobiography and universality.

On her new record, luck…or something, she’s as familiar as ever. That’s largely because this is music you’ve heard before: fizzy, centrist pop, precisely positioned at the crossroads of autobiography and universality.
Overall, the album is dominated by swooping pop synths that shimmer and sparkle with the same relentless optimism you probably remember from Duff’s early hits.
Refreshingly introspective, stylish, and transparent.
I suspect that, for the OG super-fans, this quality will make luck… or something a fantastic comeback album. For the rest of us, it feels a bit like watching someone else’s home videos: you can see flashes of nostalgia here and there, but you realize ultimately that these memories were never meant to be yours.
While her ambiguity about who she is now paradoxically gives Luck… or Something thematic order, the album’s soundscape remains indistinct. .... Luck… or Something doesn’t represent a bold reinvention of Duff as an artist or a person, but it successfully reinforces exactly what made her so charming in the first place.
These are the best kind of pop songs: ones that testify to the unpleasant nature of fame while also releasing the weight of those demons years after moving on. Hilary Duff not only moved on, but did so on her terms, with her talent and stage presence very much intact.
