After 10 long years, Hilary Duff has made her return to music.

The former Disney Channel star released her first new single, Mature, in November, and she's releasing her first new album in over a decade, titled luck … or something, on Feb. 20.

Ahead of that, she's embarking on a short international tour called "Small Rooms, Big Nerves," which makes one Canadian stop (in Toronto) later this week.

Given how quickly tickets for the tour sold out, it's clear that fans are ready to receive music from the Come Clean singer. But is her revival relying solely on nostalgia?
