Hilary Duff: Dignity made it to 400k! / New song called SMILE

About DIGNITY
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 full of 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 sophisticated thing about DIGNITY may be its lyrics. Gossip-mill regulars will 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.

*Hilary is indeed recording new tracks.
*Hilary is excited for new music this year. (No word on whether it's the rerelease or a new album)
*"Reach Out" is still postponed but may be released as a single for a movie...
*Hilary wants to tour the rest of Latin America soon. Including the dates she missed last time. The record company however is not scheduling that yet.
*The DVD is still not scheduled for now. But due to the fan's popular demand it may be back in negotiations.
*Hilary is currently touring Mexico. (yes we know that lol)
*Hilary will return to the recording studio once she finishes up her tour. (Could this mean a new album!?!?)
*Hilary denied Jonny Makeup's attempts to record music with her stating that she was just to busy for now but maybe later. Apparently she wasn't impressed by his diva-like attitude either.
*Yes, Timbaland has approached Hilary before to do more than one song together, they haven't had any time to actually go into the studio together.
*Ryan Tedder really enjoys Hilary. He says that she's always a pleasure to work with & very "into" her music. If they ask him, he would be thrilled to work with her on her next album.
*Hilary is reading a script for a movie (that she's excited about) that may interfere with the possible tour in the summer.

Dignity Re-release Cancelled??
According to many sources, the re-release of Hilary Duff's third full-length studio compilation Dignity has been canceled. The re-release was supposed to feature all the tracks of Dignity remixed, plus new recordings by Hilary Duff. However, according to recent reports, everything has been canceled, except for maybe the forthcoming single Reach Out. Does anyone remember how Play With Fire came out much, much, much before the release of Dignity? Hilary is planning on doing the same thing soon.
Rumor has it that Hilary is going to scrap the re-release, and she's going to work on a new full-length album set for 2008. Her label is planning to release 'Reach Out' as a heater single much before the actual album just to give her fans a 'taste' of what her new album is going to sound like (Similar to what she did with 'Play With Fire' - she released it way before 'Dignity' to show her fans what her new sound is like). Anyhow, I hope we get to hear 'Reach Out' soon - I can't wait for new material! Whatever happens - happens for the best

2008 is Hilary Duff's Year?!
Splashnewsonline paid Hilary Duff a huge compliment in their post entitled "Is 2008 Hilary Duff’s year?"
It looks like 2008 is going to be all about Britney Spears but I think Hilary Duff is set for a big year. Homegirl has three movies coming out in ‘08 (Greta, Food Fight, and Safety Glass) and she turns 21!
As much as train wrecks keep me employed, I have a feeling she’s not headed into Spears/Hilton/Lohan/Richie territory.
Have to agree with them there! Hilary Duff is going to make a big splash in 2008 - and it won’t be for the wrong reasons.
What kind of public recognition / awards do you think Hilary could achieve in 2008? What do you think will give her a boost in recognition of her music, acting or business?
