Despite her time out of the business, the original Disney Channel princess can still pull her own weight in today's pop music scene. Nostalgia tied to Duff's previous work and anticipation due to her long-term absence help amp the appreciation for Breathe In. Breathe Out.; however, beneath all of the warm, fuzzy feelings from memories of Lizzie McGuire and Metamorphosis, a solid pop album still exists. Each sugary sweet track is like a drug: easy to digest and capable of taking a listener on a short technicolor trip. It may not be groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination, but it contains everything expected from a Hilary Duff album: lively synthpop productions, confident (but limited) vocal displays, and buckets of fun.
Hilary Duff successfully inserted herself back into music with “Breathe In. Breathe Out.” Her carefully planned rebound side-stepped the predictable trends artists like Carly Rae Jepsen and Jason Derulo followed, devising a phenomenal female pop record post the “1989” eclipse. Her attempts last year with the mostly acoustic vibe fizzled, forcing the 27-year-old to strategize a Plan B. Duff faces an uphill battle if she wants music lovers outside her core fanbase to take the record seriously, but with songs like “Tattoo,” “Breathe In. Breathe Out.” and “Rebel Hearts…” she stands a chance.
