Tiffany is the debut studio album by American singer Tiffany, released on June 29, 1987, by MCA Records. At the age of 12, Tiffany met producer George Tobin at his office. After a demo and a seven-album contract with George Tobin, Tiffany signed a contract with MCA Records at the age of 14. Her contract enabled her to work on the album during her high school sophomore year.[citation needed] The album lyrically consists the themes of pain and fantasies. Musically, it is a teen pop album that experimented with several music genres, including pop, rock, disco, funk, dance, and new wave. Tiffany's vocal style and the album's material were influenced by Stevie Nicks.

The album received mixed-to-negative reviews, which was criticized for its calculated and unoriginal production. Commercially, the album peaked at number-one for two weeks in the US, becoming the first female solo artist to have an album chart on Billboard 200 under 18 years of age, and the youngest female artist to achieve a No. 1 album. Certified four-times platinum by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the album sold over seven million copies worldwide.

The album spawned five singles, including international hits "I Think We're Alone Now", "Could've Been", and "I Saw Him Standing There". To promote the album, Tiffany embarked on the nationwide shopping mall tour, The Beautiful You: Celebrating the Good Life Shopping Mall Tour '87, for ages 12 to 18. The tour included 60 concerts and peaked at hundreds of sales during several shows, including over 600 units during some weekends.

Background

Tiffany started singing at the age of two when she learned the lyrics to the Tanya Tucker song "Delta Dawn" at a supermarket.[1][2][a] At the age of nine, she started her singing career with her stepfather's permission.[4] After Tiffany performed "Delta Dawn" on a trailer bed at a street party in Norwalk, California, the Country Hoe Downers offered her to perform at special events and county fairs.[5] Tiffany spent time as the group's lead singer after being encouraged by her parents.[5] Tiffany also toured with country and western bands at social gatherings in Norwalk.[6] By the age of 11, she became a frequent performer at school assemblies and parties.[1][5]

Without formal training, Tiffany started her mimic talents by discovering her rock and roll influences on radio.[2] She cited that the discovery of the genre helped her develop "another way of singing."[2] After she discovered Stevie Nicks on her radio dial, and realizing that her fashion was not "going to make it", she abandoned country music and left the group for mainstream pop music at the age of 13.[1][5][6]

At the age of 12, Tiffany met and sang country songs to producer George Tobin at his office.[2] Approximately a year later, she sang demo tapes at George Tobin's recording studio in North Hollywood, California,[2][7] which led to several record label offers and a seven-album contract with George Tobin.[2][8] In 1985, she appeared as a junior singer on Star Search with Ed McMahon, where she finished in second place overall.[citation needed] During spring 1987, Tiffany toured with the Jets in regular venues, which received an "overwhelming" response.[1][5]

Production

After Tiffany signed a recording contract with George Tobin, Tobin visited several record companies for a record label contract.[9] He chose MCA Records from five record labels, and in April 1986, Tiffany signed a contract with MCA Records at the age of 14.[1][9][10][11] Shortly, production on the album began.[12] The album had 41 recorded songs, and only ten of the songs were picked for the album.[13] Production of the album lasted ten months.[14]

Tiffany rehearsed and recorded the songs at George Tobin's recording studio in North Hollywood, California at the age of 14.[5][15][b] Tiffany recorded her vocals for more than two days on each song, with the exception of "Could've Been", which only took two recording sessions.[4] Tiffany and Tobin listened to everything from black pop to hard rock and "settled on a mix" to create the "best possible album" for them.[12] According to Tiffany, some songs were recorded in three or four different ways with several styles and tempos.[4]

According to music critic Robert Christgau, Tiffany is a fantasy album about the "growing pains of a wholesome California teen".[16] Musically, it is a teen pop album that explores genres including pop,[5][17] rock,[12][18] disco,[18] funk,[19][20] dance,[4][6] and new wave.[19] The album included remakes of Tommy James and the Shondells' "I Think We're Alone Now" and The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There" (renamed "I Saw Him Standing There")[21] and original songs.[5] Prior to production of the album, Tobin spent a couple of years experimenting with different styles for her maturity.[2] Due to Tiffany's mimic talents, Tiffany's vocal style and the album's material were influenced by Stevie Nicks.[1][22] In an interview with reporter Russell A. Stamets from 1987, Tiffany recalled that when she was in the studio, she and Tobin would "try each song in several [different] styles", including a "Stevie Nicks sound" for Tobin.[1] The singing style was done for the album's opening track "Should've Been Me".[1]

"Feelings of Forever"
"Feelings of Forever" is one of the ballads from the album. It explores pop rock and lyrically speaks about love. It incorporates the Fendar Rhodes piano and includes a "gigantic build-up".

The album's opening track, "Should've Been Me", explores mid-tempo rock,[18][22][23] and tells a story of a girl "jealously obsessing on an ex-boyfriend's jacket."[16] It incorporates "slow, steady" drum beats and raspy vocals reminiscent of Stevie Nicks.[24] "Danny" is a mid-tempo track[23] that conveys the "urgency of Tiffany's youth" during the refrains.[24] "Spanish Eyes" incorporates latin pop elements.[24] Janice Page of The Providence Journal commented that the song is "in the spirit" of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita".[24] Music critic Joe Kowalski described the song as a "dark and moody piece done in an older, deeper voice."[25] "Feelings of Forever" is a pop rock[26][27] ballad about love.[28] It incorporates the Fendar Rhodes piano and includes a "gigantic build-up".[29] Music critic Paul Taylor stated that the song was reminiscent of music by Heart.[27] "Kid on a Corner" is a mid-tempo backbeat ballad[23][24] about a determination to grow up.[18]

Tiffany's cover of "I Saw Her Standing There" explored genres of disco,[18] new wave,[19] funk,[20] and lounge rock.[18] It included a "Prince-style funk" arrangement,[20] with an intro and outro of "zombie vocal[s]",[25] keyboards,[30] guitar solos,[20] and "slam bam" drums.[25] "Johnny's Got the Inside Moves" is a mid-tempo song[23] that explores disco music and conveys her vocals of "adolescent emotional hunger."[18] Music critic Joe Kowalski described the song as "Whitney-esque".[25] "Promises Made" is a love song.[31] Agnes Torres of The Orlando Sentinel stated that the song was reminiscent of "Voices Carry" by 'Til Tuesday.[28] Her cover of "I Think We're Alone Now" is a dance-pop track[32] with elements of funk music.[19] It is set to a "galloping Bananarama-like beat"[22] and incorporates a "synthesizer backdrop".[33] The album's final track, "Could've Been", is a ballad that includes more "grown-up" lyrics[34] about losing and mourning the "great love of her life".[30] Musically, it explores pop music[35] and highlights Tiffany's vocal power.[34][36]

Release and commercial reception

Tiffany was released on June 29, 1987, by MCA Records.[37] On the week of September 26, 1987, the album debuted at No. 130 on Billboard's Top Pop Albums chart.[38] As of late November 1987, the album sold an average of 400,000 copies per week.[39] By December 11, 1987, the album sold one million copies in the US.[40] It peaked at number-one on the week of January 23, 1988, and remained for two weeks.[38] At the age of 16 years, Tiffany became the youngest female artist to achieve a No. 1 album, and the first female solo and third artist to chart on the Billboard 200 under the age of 18.[41] The album stayed for 96 non-consecutive weeks on the chart.[38] The album also peaked at number-one in Canada and New Zealand.[42][43] It was charted at the Top 10 in Australia and the United Kingdom.[44][45]

Singles

Her first single, "Danny", was released in June 1987, but it failed to chart.[citation needed] Due to several requests for the song, rock radio stations started to play Tiffany's cover version of Tommy James & the Shondells' song "I Think We're Alone Now".[48][49][50] It was released as her second single on August 16, 1987,[51] as a promotion of her first tour.[50][52] On the week of November 7, 1987, the single peaked at number-one on Billboard Hot 100 and remained for two weeks.[53] It was also a success in the United Kingdom, peaking at number-one for three weeks.[54] The music video was later released, which was filmed in several malls, including Ogden City Mall in Ogden, Utah and Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California.[15] Tiffany re-recorded the cover three times throughout her career: Dust Off and Dance as an electronica arrangement in 2005,[citation needed] I Think We're Alone Now: 80s Hits and More in 2007,[citation needed] and as a rock arrangement in April 2019.[55]

Her third single, "Could've Been", was released in November 1987.[citation needed] Being a successful follow-up to her previous single, it peaked at number-one on Billboard Hot 100 on the week of February 6, 1988, and remained for two weeks.[53] It also peaked at number-one on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart.[56] Tiffany became the first female artist in the rock era to reach No. 1 with her first two singles.[57] At the age of 16 years, she also became the youngest artist to have two consecutive No. 1 singles.[41] Internationally, the single was her first number-one hit in Canada and Ireland.[58][59]

Her fourth single, "I Saw Him Standing There", was released in February 1988.[57] It received moderate success, peaking at No. 7 on Billboard Hot 100.[53] It also reached to the top-five in Canada and Ireland respectively.[60] Her final single of the album, "Feelings of Forever", was released in June 1988.[citation needed] Although not as successful as her previous singles, it received minor success in the United States,[53] the United Kingdom,[54] and Canada respectively.[61]

Touring

Tiffany originally performed at clubs in New York City, but the label thought it would not work for her.[15] MCA's former senior vice president Larry Solters proposed Tiffany's nationwide shopping mall tour entitled The Beautiful You: Celebrating the Good Life Shopping Mall Tour '87,[2] which included 60 concerts.[48] It was done to build a marketing base for ages 12 to 18 before the album was released.[1][5] On June 26, 1987, the tour began at the Bergen Mall in Paramus, New Jersey.[2][5][62] Tiffany performed four shows per day during the weekends, and after each show, she autographed several records at a record retailer.[2]

On the first day of her tour, all records of the album were sold out, and throughout the tour, over 600 units were sold during some weekends.[2] By the end of the tour, the tour gathered a large audience,[63] and had triggered hundreds of sales for each performance.[48]

Upon its release, Tiffany received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "B", highlighting "Should've Been Me" and "I Saw Him Standing There" as "two schlock classics".[16] Chris Tworney of Record Mirror reviewed the singer and album, at the time, as the "latest in seemingly inexhaustible supply of virgin prunes to dominate [the] charts."[17] Wayne Robins of Newsday criticized most of the songs as "superficial" and "bland", describing "I Saw Him Standing There" as "wrong" and praising "Spanish Eyes" as the "best of her songs".[20] Len LaBarth of Delaware County Daily Times described the album as "far from spectacular". He praised "I Think We're Alone Now" as "nice and sprightly", but criticized "I Saw Him Standing There" as "quite horrid".[65]

Agnes Torres of The Orlando Sentinel rated the album two out of five stars, criticizing the production as "busy" and songs as "sluggish" and "grating". Torres ranked "I Saw Him Standing There" as the worst, but described "Spanish Eyes" as "equally unnerving".[28] in an unfavorable review, Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone gave the album one-and-a-half out of five stars,[64] describing the album as an "artificial construction that Tiffany occupies with neither authority nor uniqueness." DeCurtis criticized the production, songwriting, and management for "[letting] Tiff down", and described her cover of "I Think We're Alone Now" as "sterile" and "I Saw Him Standing There" as a "conceptual disaster".[21] Cary Wills of The Courier-Journal gave the album an extremely negative review, lamenting "I Think We're Alone Now" as a "wad of fake funk/pop garbage" and "I Saw Him Standing There" as "equally embarrassing".[19]

In a retrospective review, Bryan Buss of AllMusic gave the album two-and-a-half out of five stars, describing the material as "enjoyable without being schlocky", and reviewing tracks "Kid on a Corner", "Should've Been Me", "Johnny's Got the Inside Moves", and "Danny" as "all inoffensive, mid-tempo tunes that are more than just filler." Concluding the review, Buss stated that even though this is a "fair debut for a young singer with a voice she'd grow into", her follow-up, Hold an Old Friend's Hand, is "more consistently realized."[23]
