Hilary Duff’s “Sparks” Is Actually Really Good

Hilary Duff is back. Not in a way that makes you wonder, "What's she up to now?" She's back in an unmistakeable and catchy way.  Today, the actress/singer dropped "Sparks," her new single. It's got all the characteristics of a summer jam. In fact, it has all the characteristics of the summer jam. It's got a beat that's good enough for both dancing and chilling out at home. It's got a whistle thing that's definitely gonna be in your head for the next three months. Plus, it's got that light, sweet-sounding vocal that's bubble gum enough you want to listen to it, but not so saccharine you feel like you stole your little sister's Disney channel CD.  It's not that Duff hasn't churned out great stuff in the past. It's that this is a welcome surprise. 
Give it a whirl. You'll see what I mean.
