If only there were a straightforward solution to what currently ails them.
Because a full decade later, the 38-year-old is back with a new album—her Feb. 20 release luck… or something—but no further anecdotes about Haylie’s life with daughters Ryan, 10, and Lulu, 7.
Instead, she has a disc full of raw, incredibly personal lyrics.
“I just felt really ready to share,” the 38-year-old explained to Glamour of digging deep as she penned much of the album alongside songwriter husband Matthew Koma, dad to her daughters Banks, 7, Mae, 4, and Townes, 21 months. “One, I wanted to stretch creatively, and two, I wanted to make something that I could connect with people again on the level of who I am now. I felt like people have definitely gone through some of the similar large strokes that I have in the past 10 to 15 years.”
Among the incredibly common themes: Her family drama, Hilary getting into the fallout of her parents Bob Duff and Susan Duff‘s messy 2008 divorce on “The Optimist,” writing, “I wish I could sleep on planes, and that my father would really love me.”
And on “We Don’t Talk,” she appears to delve into her long-rumored rift with Haylie, labeling it an “emotional eviction.”
