Description: She may have played a teenaged girl mistaken for a pop star in
The Lizzie McGuire Movie, but after releasing a Christmas album in 2002, and crooning two songs on the movies soundtrack, Hilary Duff looks like she means business. The only trouble is, she doesnt sound like it. Although dubbing her first album
Metamorphosis, the disc is anything but. Her singing is as coy and kittenish as her on-screen persona and she mugs her way through most of the 13 songs with charm and aplomb, but little natural singing talent. But to her credit, the actress has managed to cover a multitude of vocal sins by hiring a team of crack producers, who double her voice whenever possible, giving many of the tracks the rather anthemic feel of a cheerleading squad. The best songs on the disc are the three masterminded by the Matrix, the same production team that oversaw Avril Lavigne's hit disc and they give the lissome actresss singing some attitude and grit, like on the infectious and spectacularly bratty "So Yesterday," and the cleverly conceived "Math," complete with heavy metal guitar riffs. But Duff is not inhabiting that saucy jailbait territory staked by Britney Spears. At the ripe old age sixteen, shes much more Barbies than bustiers.

Reviews:
"Hilary Duff =awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"So Yesterday" was probably the best song , because it has a lesson , and it is sort of catchy.
3 words: Love this cd!
Hilary rocks!!!!
I'm only fourteen-years old, and I'm writing this review. Hilary Duff has good sense of ideas, talents, and humor, and a beuatiful voice. My favorite song on the Matamorphosis CD is "Workin' it Out." It started teaching me a lesson about not giving up. Hilary's my favorite actoress and one of my top favorite singers. I even practice singing some of her songs as part of my own singing lessons. Hilary and her CDs are like teachers, and can teach you some things, that that teenage idol sung. I think everyone should listen to her enchanting CD. I think she rocks!!!
Really Great Debut
I bought this in August 2003 and I still love it. If you're a new fan of Hilary's and have seen Lizzie McGuire or have seen her movies,heard her songs then you know she's great. This CD is great every song should've been a single.If you have bought her new CD and are thinking of buying this CD then you definately should.If you bought this one and not her new one,you're missing out. The new CD is also really great.
