Amazon.co.uk Review
In the most dignified way possible, "Dignity"--the title track to this fizz-bomb of a dance-pop disc--sends a disgusted eye-roll and a flagrant puh-lease to underwear-eschewing celebutantes everywhere: "You'd show up to the opening of an envelope," sings Duff, who hangs onto her signature sweetness despite having entered full-on diss mode. "It's not news when you've got a new bag/It's not news when you're looking your best/Come on, give it a rest." Well said. And sung. Not that calling out the phony and the full of it is what Duff, or Dignity, is all about. Mostly, the disc is a beat-studded chronicling of an incredibly healthy 19-year-old psyche: On "Happy," she's happy despite an ex's attempts to make her miserable; on "With Love"--maybe her catchiest, most grown-up song to date--she's willing to accept rejection as long as kindness plays a role in its delivery. Musically, with the help of groove-conscious producers like Tim & Bob and Will.i.am, Duff edges ever closer to adult sensibilities; her goofball Lizzie McGuire days seem far behind. It's an evolution anybody could have seen coming, actually. Has there ever been a starlet with her head on straighter? --Tammy La Gorce

CD Description
Given the title and Hilary Duff's sophisticated, uptown-girl look on the cover, 2007's DIGNITY seems to announce that the teen starlet is all grown up. Yet the album is still fullof effervescent dance-pop, as fresh-faced and catchy as fans of Top 40 and commercial bubblegum would expect. The production techniques, complete with electronic flourishes and nods to club music, are well crafted, to be sure, but DIGNITY isn't about cutting-edge sounds or thumping club bangers. Instead, the electro-beats reinforce the pop song structures and make the singalong tunes shine.
The most sophisticatedthing about DIGNITY may be its lyrics. Gossip-mill regularswill be able to parse references to Duff's much-publicized entanglements with other commercial pop stars, but what stands out is Duff's mature response to her life's tumult. The album plays like a confession, but does so with a cool head and a clear eye, underscoring the album's title without detracting from the music's inherently fun, bouncy style.

Customer Reviews

The "new" Hilary Duff is surprisingly good
As a bubblegum pop princess Hilary Duff had her merits. Granted those merits had never gone as far as producing, or perhaps the right word should be "fronting", a knock out album but her best moments were ripe for a "collection".

So it was with some trepidation that I heard tales of her going "electro". It sounds like it should be my kind of thing but is it really a wise move? As it turns out, artistically at least, it is. Not least because the over-sentimental and cloying ballads that spoiled great swathes of her previous albums are absolutely nowhere to be seen.

Things start off decently enough with Stranger, but things really kick into life with the title track. A thinly-veiled attack on the Hollywood party girls ("you'd show up to the opening of an envelope"..."it's not news you've got a new bag") it may be, but it manages the task a whole lot more successfully that Pink's Stupid Girls ever did. It's also a killer tune to boot. You can make up your own mind about who are the targets (for my money you have to look no further than Nicole Ritchie - who's knocking off that Good Charlotte fella now I think- and Duff's long-term rival Lindsay Lohan).

Gypsy Woman is much easier to pin down as a knock on Nicole Ritchie and is just as fantastic as the title track. Other essential, and I do mean essential, cuts include No Work, No Play, with its positively addictive drum beat, and Danger, which seems to address her stalker problems (we're talking "people have been sent to jail" levels here) to another addictive beat.

Of course it's not all as good, but a lot of it is surprisingly, and nagglingly, memorable. Quite what it will do for her is another matter indeed. There comes a time when every teen star has to strike out and there is no doubt that the time had come for Duff to take that step. She's certainly come up with something fresh and, more importantly, something quite good indeed. Whether fans of the old stuff will follow her on the journey is uncertain, but it would be their loss if they didn't.

Sings with style,class and . . .'Dignity'
Hilary returns with her 4th studio album with a vengance.Throwing away her teen pop rock image,Duff swaps the guitars for synth club rock and it works.On hearing the album for the 1st time it was hard to sinle out one paticular song. . . this being a good thing.

The album opener,'Stranger' has a rock feel to it and has some arabic sample playing throughout.From here the album descends into more dark club tunes.'Dignity' has a thumping chours,with lyrics that will stay with you,although its strange why this wasnt her first single as its the best song on the album.'With Love',the albums 1st UK single is more dance with a hint of hip-hop,defintley a step forward in her career.The next song,Danger' is futuristic sounding yet gives a throw back to 70's disco - defintley one of my favourites. Track 5,'Gypsy Woman',which is co written by the Duff sisters,is dark rock which again is club filled,features amazing vocals from Duff in the chourus,excellent track.'Never Stop' is a very upeat,fast paced synthizezd pop song - not as strong as the others,as it feels like one long chours but possibilty of growing on you.With a title of 'No Work,All Play',I though track 7 was going to be a dance floor-filler,but is actually a slow paced song - think Natasha Bedingfield but darker. 'Between You And Me' continues the positive feel of the previous 2 tracks but has something more special - a constant grower,this track is a gem.Track 9 'Dreamer' samples a tunes everyone will recognise.The lyrics are honsetly weak but the overall song is good,just not as strong as the others.After 4 good but happy songs,Duff goes even darker than before with a song ironicly titled 'Happy'.This is a song that will get u excited from the opening and the chours is great.The more you listen to this,the more you will enjoy it.It gets better as it goes on.'Burned' is the albums only ballad like song and it isnt even slow-just slighlty slow paced but with hip-hop beats and dark lyrics,'Burned is another good song.
Track 12 'Outside Of You' is the only rock like song but still fits in on the album a great faced pace chours makes the song an enjoyable one.The only really weak track is 'I Wish',just nothing realy special here. . . could be a favourite for some people,just not me as i prefer more of the dancey tracks which is why I was happy with the album closer,'Play With Fire'.This was the 1st singles in the states and is a more mature song for a Duff,very dancey with a thumping beat and a loud guitar-synth filled chours.

Overall 'Dignity' is a triumph and is Duffs best album by far.Its obvious that shes not holding on to the teen princess title and maturing more which will win her more fans.The album has no real weak tracks,just ones which arent as strong-but these are still great.Pick up this album,you wont regret your choice'.

Hilary goes dance !!! n she still rox !!
In the last album Hilary didnt bring enough 2 the table bu in this album "Dignity" she is at the top of her game If u liked the old albums your goin 2 love this one

Track 1 stanger is one of the strong tracks on the album Hilary speaks about a boyfriend (Joel)who is perfect in the public eye but behind closed doors he is an idiot this is a very good track n could be a top 10 smash !

Track 2 Dignity conveys the nonesense that goes on in hollywood (ex people ie paris n lindsey wearin no knickers 4 publicaty)it should become a top 3 hit no doubt its an amazing achivement 4 hilary 2 write such a true 2 life,wonderful,explosive dancefloor smash!!

Track 3 With Love.....is great it is the first single off the album n shows how amazing the album is


Track 4 Danger is not the best track on the album but is a meraboul track none the less !!!


Track 5 Gypsy women is unbelievable its one of the best dance tracks ive heard in a while !!truly !!!its got a seriously cool voice at the start n in the background its certain 2 be a number 1 !!

On the rest of the album tracks like Happy,Play with Fire,n Never stop shine the rest are good but dont shine as much !!! but this album is well worth the buy you wont be dissapointed if you r u r a fussy geek !!! so hopefully you will enjoy the album as much as me !!!cant wait 4 the next one
