"Hilary Duff&amp;#039;s forthcoming new album has &amp;quot;an adult alternative acoustic sound&amp;quot;, according to Ed Sheeran. The British singer-songwriter has teamed up with Duff for her new album to write the lead single, which is expected to be released later this year.   &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;ll be cool,&amp;quot; Sheeran told Digital Spy of Duff&amp;#039;s music comeback. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s been gone for so long living family life that I think there are a lot of fans waiting for something new.  &amp;quot;I feel like her record is not what they will expect. Obviously she comes from Lizzie McGuire and that pop world, but she&amp;#039;s more grown up now, so it&amp;#039;s more of an adult alternative acoustic sound.&amp;quot;  Speaking about their time in the studio session together, Sheeran added: &amp;quot;Poor Hilary though, because the only time I was free I did The Voice, then had a meeting, then I had another TV show until 1 o&amp;#039;clock in the morning - and I know she has a kid - but I had to drag her down to the studio at that time to get the song done. She came and smashed it out in about two hours.&amp;quot; Hilary Duff&amp;#039;s new album will serve as the follow-up to 2007&amp;#039;s Dignity. Meanwhile, Sheeran&amp;#039;s second studio album x will be released in the UK on June 23, and a day later in the US.
