BURBANK, CA. (Hollywood Records) - Media mogul
Hilary Duff is gearing up for an extremely busy summer before she turns 18
September 28. The multi-platinum recording artist's first two albums sold nearly 12 million copies around the world. Hilary just finished recording new songs for her "
Most Wanted" CD which is due in stores August 16. The disc will include three brand-new songs recorded exclusively for this album and a collection of Hilary's most popular songs completely remixed and remastered including "So Yesterday," "Why Not," "Come Clean," "Fly." A deluxe edition of "
Most Wanted" will be released the same day featuring bonus materials and special packaging.
Hilary shoots her high-concept, innovative music video for the first single "Wake Up" directed and conceptualized by industry icon Marc Webb. She has a slew of TV appearances before launching her Still Most Wanted tour in support of her new movie "The Perfect Man" with Heather Locklear and Chris Noth. Hilary appeared recently on MTV's "Beach House" and MTV's "Movie Awards" followed by appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" June 13 and "Live with Regis & Kelly" June 17, as well as the first televised performance of her new single on "The Today Show" June 17 on their summer concert series in Rockefeller Center. Hilary is also performing on ABC's "America's Celebration" on July 4, and she is set to world premiere her "Wake Up" video on MTV in July. Hilary will then make a very special appearance on Fox's "Teen Choice Awards" August 17 and return for performances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" August 15 and "The Today Show" August 18.
Hilary commented, "Summer was made for touring and I can't wait to get back on the road, and to get to perform live for my fans. It will be great because we'll be returning to some of my favorite cities like Chicago and New York, and I'll be going through some additional cities too like Madison, WI and Charleston, WV. I'll be performing everyone's favorite songs and I'll have some new surprises in there, too."
Hilary is also an accomplished TV and movie actress, and designer and businesswoman. She recently wrapped filming "Material Girl" also starring her older sister Haylie as two young highly-successful business entrepreneurs who lose everything and have to learn how to start over. Duff will also reprise her starring role in "Cheaper By The Dozen 2" which she'll shoot this summer before launching her tour. As a designer and businesswoman, Hilary and her new partner Robert Thorne oversee a growing lifestyle brand at retail featuring trend-forward fashion, health and beauty and other products, with very special announcements imminent. Hilary's philanthropic work is an important part of her life. She's presently planning a trip to India to help tsunami survivors and is part of the President's advisory committee for three years, among many more.
Added Hilary's partner Robert Thorne, "Hilary's new CD "Most Wanted" offers the very best of both worlds, brand-new songs featuring Hilary's stunning talent and defining what's hot in the high-octane popular music genre, plus a very select array of the favorite hits her fans wildly embrace at her concerts. A super winning formula of what's Most Wanted by today's music consumer.
