Breathe In. Breathe Out. Hilary Duff's "comeback album" really does not do very much to establish a creative voice for the pop singer that happened to release this album. Hilary comes off as vaguely likeable and girlish on the album, but that is more or less the only personality the album offers (besides serving as a low key promo opportunity for the good people at Tinder). Breathe In. Breathe Out. is a very dull, uninspired, and bland collection of songs; any of which could be performed, and more memorably, by the majority of today's pop stars not named "Hilary Duff". It's a well-produced album, but that's pretty much the only positive here. Take Sparks, the current single: It's dancey and fizzy, letting a grating whistled hook and a steady dance groove carry the song; it's a song that approaches fun, but lacks personality and energy, coming off as derivative of a number of Kylie Minogue hits than anything new and original; and things drop off precipitously from there. Maybe Hilary is aiming for something more mature in sound (and that is possibly why she chose to release an informomercial for a dating app, instead of a traditional music video for Sparks) and is looking to establish a more mature voice, but that does not excuse the album for being as uninspired and dull as it is as there really aren't any highlights or interesting sounds besides that generic effervescent pop atmosphere that buoys the album and keeps it from being a complete slog. There's really not much here though to offer except to die hard Hilary Duff fans or those that prefer their music fizzy, forgettable, and anonymous. Breathe In. Breathe Out. does not develop Hilary beyond a vague sketch (similar to the artwork on the album cover) and does not provide the color and depth that makes, or at least allows for, good pop music.
