I love Tiffany. I think she has to have been my first ever crush because I remember having a crush on her right around, of course, the time of “I Think We’re Alone Now”. That would make me, um, 6, I think – though perhaps it was still floating around the charts in the UK a couple of years later when I clearly remember (for some reason) telling a friend’s mum about my crush, lol, to which her reply was, of course, little old for you? How things change :-p

Anyway, I don’t know why, I felt like throwing that in by way of introduction. This CD is an old album that was only released in South East Asia and is now re-released including a bunch of extra tracks, demos, and nice liner notes by the producer about his memories of recording with Tiffany ‘in the beginning’ (I think mostly reproduced in full here where you can also buy).

If your love of Tiffany is limited entirely to the one hit song, then this probably isn’t for you. It’s the full assault of every kind of 80s music abomination, think Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s spoof songs in Team America. But you know what, I love that kind of thing in small Tiffany-shaped doses, lol. It really is incredible how powerful her voice was at this time – I’d personally say she sounds better now, especially on “The Color of Silence”, but really what I mean is, she sounds different now … she actually did sound as good in her teens as she does now aged 34, her voice has merely changed with the times.
