Metamorphosis / Hilary Duff : 3 of 5

I've been watching so much Lizzie McGuire lately that I was simply drawn to this album, plus I had seen Hilary sing in The Lizzie McGuire Movie, so I knew she would be pretty good (I'm a sucker for bubblegum pop!). This CD is definitely fun to listen to (it's been in my car for days now), but I have some mixed emotions about it. The style of the music reminds me of Letters to Cleo, which I love, so I can really get into the songs and enjoy singing along. I'm just a little surprised at how "adult" most of the songs are - my cute 16 year old Lizzie is really trying hard to grow up! So, if I stop and think about the Hilary I know from TV, it seems really weird. But beyond that, there are some great tunes here - I like So Yesterday and Why Not (obviously positioned to be the "hits"), but my favorite lyrics are in Do the Math, where every line is some arithmetic pun. Where Did I Go Right is a really nice ballad that shows off her mellow voice, and Sweet Sixteen is the totally goofy track that makes me laugh. The title track has a cool melody, too - I guess I can't help but enjoy this CD!
