Hilary Duff, better known as TV’s Lizzie McGuire, has released her first album, “Metamorphosis.”

Perpetuating the idea that if you’re on TV, you can sing; Duff embarks on a road that many other teen stars have traveled. Her album proves a studio can only do so much tweaking.

A few tracks show promise in the beginning, but then flounder seconds later. Track three, “Workin’ It Out,” opens with an edgy beat and violin, but the lyrics destroy the vibe immediately. Duff’s pop culture refrences strip away any personal meaning the song might have. In “The Math,” Duff whines, “I’m calling you back, this is *69.”

Duff and her sister Haylie Duff co-wrote a few songs, including the sickeningly sweet and repetitive ode to driving, “Sweet Sixteen.”

In the title track “Metamorphosis,” Duff attempts an introspective look at the transition from child to teenager. Though the message should be understandable to everyone, Duff only confounds her message with the tone-deaf rap she delivers mid-song.

The studio-polished “Why Not?” has the best potential to rocket Duff to Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi” fame. Coasting off what small success “The Lizzie McGuire Movie” raked in, Duff’s management helped boost sales by adding it as a bonus track.

“Where Did I Go Right?,” the only song worth a listen, is actually an acceptable voyage into Duff’s untapped talent, that is, if you can get past the overly trite title. The dramatic tone fits Duff’s voice and makes her sound as though she can actually carry a tune.

In her liner notes, Duff thanks her vocal coach for teaching her that it’s “OK to make mistakes.” Duff obviously overlooked the biggest mistake of all: this album.
