No bubblegum pop!!!!!!
I have to say, being a 21 year old I was a bit worried about buying this album as I wasn't a massive fan of Hilary until she released With Love which lead me to buy this album. I expected to get a collection of blubblegum pop songs but I was so wrong!!!!!
This is a fantastic album, there is not a song on it that I don't like. Far from the little girl on Lizzie M Hilary has blossomed into a woman with each track featuring catchy dance beats like those of Nelly Furtardo's Loose or Justin Timberlake's FutureSex albums!!!!
What is great about the deluxe version is the DVD that comes with it. This contains all of Hilary's music videos to date and a interview with her about her career so far. Beat of my Heart, Play with Fire and With Love are particularly fantastic videos!!!!
You MUST buy this album, you will not regret it!!!!!
say it with love!
This album is a big departure from what hilary used to do & this new sound suits her down to the ground, it's full of dancey songs & of course the odd dig at her ex joel madden (good charlotte)!!
Here's what i thought of every track on the album:
1. stranger 9/10 - good song has a kind of an indie vibe
2. dignity 10/10 - has a killer beat, gr8 song
3. with love 10/10 - official 1st single, it's really good
4. danger 9/10 - this song has grown on me, i now luv it
5. gypsy woman 10/10 - amazing track, has such an infectious beat
6. never stop 10/10 - cool dance song
7. no work, all play 7/10 - not the best song, bit to slow but has a good chorus
8. between you & me 10/10 - sounds a bit lyk a kids song, it has an innocence about it, which i luv!!
9. dreamer 10/10 - it's about the stalkers, but she does it in a light hearted good way!!
10. happy 10/10 - is not as dancey as the rest of the album but i luv this song
11. burned 7/10 - least favorite track on the album, bit of a ballad type song
12. outside of you 7/10 - going back to her rockier roots, not a fan of this song
13. i wish 10/10 - one of my favorites in the album, it's fab!!
14. play with fire 10/10 - gr8 song, has a different sound to me, really good song
Overall this album is a huge change but it totally suits her & this deluxe edition comes with all of her 9 music videos:
with love, play with fire, beat of my heart & come clean are the best.
Buy It NOW!!!
No Shame in "Dignity"
A most enjoyable pop product and one of the most re-playable of the year so far. As with Britney Spears or (the even more-viciously-derided) Ashlee Simpson, the issue of whether Hilary Duff can actually sing is moot here, since much of the heavy lifting for this type of teen pop is usually left to the backing musicians and producers anyways. All that matters is: Is the final product any good? The answer: An emphatic "YES!" While not reaching the delirious abandon of Simpson at her best on "I Am Me," at the very least Duff's voice is rendered unobtrusive by processing and at the very best is a playfully bouncing ball of energy that complements the poppy music, itself an amalgam of modernized retro-'80s beats that recall various shades of Blondie, the Human League, Depeche Mode, New Order, freestyle dance, Foreigner, Genesis, Bryan Adams, Pat Benetar, and more recent influences as No Doubt (itself '80s-influenced) and Spears. And like Simpson, Huff gets by here on sheer moxie. (Contrast this to the lackluster lethargy of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton on their albums. Simply posing does not translate well on disc.) What pushes Huff's album above those by Spears and earns Huff extra points is her (or her handlers') judgment in wisely avoiding the "slow, treacly ballad" (a la "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman") that drags lesser albums down and would expose the fact that she is no Christina Aguilera. And there is something to be said for catchy lyrics that are easily sung-along to and easy to decipher. Not every album has to be lyrically challenging as those by some underground artist or even REM or Bob Dylan. (And come to think of it -- Dylan's not much of a singer these days, either, without some help in the studio!) Just as the baseball player Jeff Kent addressed whiny and b*tchy critics, "Just enjoy the game!" Teen pop is what it is, and in similar company, "Dignity" simply stands out: strong enough to be a "Greatest Hits" collection on its own. Standout tracks include: "Play with Fire" (Foreigner or Yes in dance-pop incarnation); "Stranger" (New Order meets "I'm a Slave 4 U" middle-Eastern flourish); the Gwen Stefanish title track...but with every track a winner, what's the point in playing favorites? ;)
