About the Artist
TIFFANY Like many successful performers, Tiffany's career began when she was very young. Born on October 2, 1971 in Norwalk, a quiet suburb in Southern California, Tiffany was performing nationwide at fairs, special events and on talent shows such as Star Search by the time she was five. Her performances were marked by an incredible presence and control that enabled her to deliver songs such as "Delta Dawn and "Stand By Your Man" with honesty and conviction. By the time Tiffany was 13 years old, her voice and determination landed her an audience with producers George Tobin and Brad Schmidt. Soon after, she was offered a contract with MCA Records and began work on her first album-the self titled debut, Tiffany. To promote the album to her target audience, a plan was hatched to have Tiffany perform nationwide at shopping malls. Within weeks she was singing to over 5,000 screaming fans in Salt Lake City, Utah. "Mall managers started to look at Tiffany differently after Salt Lake City. The turnouts were getting enormous," explains Schmidt. "It started out as a marketing tool and as a way to get her in front of people and it turned into a phenomenon." Overnight, Tiffany had become a pop culture and teen icon featured in magazines, newspapers, and even on the The Tonight Show. Both "I Think We're Alone Now" and "Could've Been" were US #1 singles. "I Saw Him Standing There," which hit the Top Ten, was also included on her 1987 debut album. Tiffany even managed to dethrone the King of pop, Michael Jackson, knocking him from the number one spot on the album charts. Tiffany's trajectory to super-stardom was unprecedented: Her humble beginnings with a mall tour led to two number-one records and domestic album sales beyond the six million mark, with over 14 million records sold worldwide. Her second album, Hold An Old Friend's Hand, went double platinum and included the Top Ten hit "All This Time." By the early 1990s, Tiffany decided to take a break. "People think I disappeared. But I took time away to be a person, not just a personality." Time away from the spotlight allowed Tiffany to mature personally and professionally. Already a gifted performer, she devoted herself to writing lyrics that would more clearly reflect her experiences, emotions and spirit. The resulting effort, the album The Color of Silence, was co-written by Tiffany and reveals a depth of artistry not often found in the world of pop music. "This album is a reflection of my life over the past ten years. A lot has changed, and people are not aware that my music represents the pains and joys I've experienced as a musician, full-time mother and successful business woman. Despite maintaining a rigorous live performance schedule, Tiffany also enjoys television work, and has made numerous recent appearances as a host on VH1.

Product Description
Joining up once again with the boys at the Backroom, the team that brought you 2001's critically acclaimed "Color Of Silence," Tiffany has continued her passion and has at long last recorded the consummate Club/Dance project her fans have so eagerly awaited. This collection of eleven house oriented tracks includes a fresh take on her smash hit "I Think We're Alone Now" and a remix by the up and coming dance duo "Second Sun." Finding her stride on this energetic and brilliantly crafted album, Tiffany's unique and mesmerizing voice is reminiscent of Aretha and Anastacia at their soulful best, and will leave you breathless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good! Four and a half stars!, August 15, 2005

By	Invisiboy2001 "invisiboy2001" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

While I am not a huge fan of dance music, I have to admit that Tiffany does a great job on this CD of blending pop-music sensibilities with thumping dance-floor beats, tying it all together with soaring melodies and fresh, rarely-predictable arrangments. The CD opens with the terrific "Be With U Tonight," which is probably my favorite song on the album. Other addictive tracks are "Everyone Get Down" and "Artificial Girlfriend."

The music is pretty simple compared to Tiffany's amazing, well-informed "Color of Silence" album, but, hey, it's a party! Tiffany's out to have fun with this new album, and she achieves it. It's refreshing to see a child star really honing her craft as an adult and becoming a truly respectable artist. I look forward to seeing what she will do next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing comeback :-), January 31, 2006

By	Little Miss Cutey (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This is a fantastic cd. It really is and you won't believe it's the same girl that did shopping mall promo's. This is a bubbly, dance cd that is actually really really good. Don't think negatively of her because she used to be a teen queen. Tiffany does a great job here of showing off her vocal range and powerful voice. I think it's only gotten better. The best songs are Be With U Tonight, Kama Sutra and Fly. They all are fantastic, but those three really make you want to get up and DANCE. I listen to this in the car, at work and at home while cleaning. She has even done a remake of I Think We're Alone Now (her version) just for old times sake and that's better too. Please don't pass this off just because you may not have liked her back in the late 80's. She really is very talented and I hope this is only the start of a bigger and better career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Dance by Tiffany, September 21, 2005

By	D. Flores (Sacramento USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Holy Cow! Just listening to the 1st 9 tracks for the first time left such a good impression - Tiffany rocks, or should I say "You Go Girl!" Definitely great gym music to listen to as well as dance. I can see how someone noted the sound dates back to the late 90's, but nevertheless, this is Tiffany at her best IMHO. Thanks to C89.5 Seattle FM for playing "Na Na Na" which caught my interest in her latest album. Great job Tiffany!
