"But for the 38-year-old Duff's first live performance in 18 years, she's met with a sold-out crowd screaming back every word of her music like they are all universally adored hits. Duff seems overwhelmed by the rapturous reception. Fans have come from Brazil, Saudi Arabia and all over Europe, and they are often so loud you can't hear the woman on stage."
"The 17-song set expertly sprinkles five new numbers from forthcoming album Luck Or Something in between fan favourites such as 2015's criminally underrated Sparks and 2003's So Yesterday to keep the mood elevated. Time has made Duff's voice more textured and refined, adding new depth to songs like Fly and Come Clean, though the twee Someone's Watching Over Me, a ballad about self-acceptance, is cloying."
Hilary Duff performed her first live show in 18 years for a sold-out, international audience that screamed back every word. Fans traveled from Brazil, Saudi Arabia and across Europe and were often so loud she could be difficult to hear. Duff displayed no signs of rust; her fierce sincerity and girl-next-door charm created euphoria and escapism. The setlist of 17 songs mixed five new tracks from forthcoming album Luck Or Something with fan favourites like Sparks and So Yesterday. Her voice now sounds more textured and refined on songs such as Fly and Come Clean. The encore featured Mature and What Dreams Are Made Of with pink butterfly confetti.
