 Tiffany better than ever
Submitted on: 2009-09-14 |

| I have been a fan of Tiffany's since the late 80's. Tiffany has grown as a songwriter, and her vocals are as good as ever. I now have three of Tiffany's CD's. Greatest Hits, Dust off and Dance, and now this. Tiff is very diversified, and can do alot of different things. This was different for her, and it is rather good. |

Grateful Australian Fan

| It's been sometime since Tiffany release any material in Australia and it was only via the internet that I have become familiar with her lastest releases. I truly enjoyed this album. Though not as aggressive as "The Color Of Silence" it is obvious that Tiffany has matured as a singer and now competent songwriter but still in the guitar pop / rock vain. |

 It is okay, and has some great moments, but isn't stellar

This album has a quirky mix of pop, country, and gospel. It is positive and family/kid friendly.
I'm not a fan of country, however, so while I really like the songs that are more pop, I find I skip a few tracks, like "Mind Candy."
Tiffany wrote or co-wrote many of the songs, and unfortunately, they feel like they need a bit more work. "Hiding behind the Face" is one in particular that has a great starting point, but sounds forced and just doesn't quite work. Likewise, "I Will Not Break down" is a very good song that just needs a few more finishing touches.
"Anyone But Me" is my favorite song on this album with a catchy melody and great message. "Streets of Gold" is a gospel song and easily the most memorable and powerful. "This Love" is also excellent and is a pure pop song.
This isn't a slick & expensively produced album you typically get with big-named artists. It is more of a blue collar worker that puts out honest and heart-felt material that falls where it will. |

An Average Roadtrip Album : Tiffany at the Crossroads
Submitted on: 2008-05-29 |

As a long time admirer of the work of Tiffany Darwish, I can't honestly give this record anything more than three stars. I am sure that Tiffany herself knows that this is, at best, a three star album, which is why the rave reviews and five star ratings here are baffling. There is not even half the talent that Tiffany displayed in 2000's "The Color of Silence" on show here, and the dull, plodding melodies are a far cry from that album as well.
What is really telling is the fact that they chose to re-record one of the weaker tracks from "The Color of Silence", entitled 'I Will Not Breakdown', and tag it on as the final track on this album. It is pure filler, and doesn't really do much for the entire package as a whole.
"Just Me", of course, never really went on to become a success in any part of the world, leave alone the United States, and this is becoming quite a habit for Tiffany, who, despite a solid return to form a few years earlier, has been floundering career-wise. Especially abominable was her 'dance' album called "Dust Off and Dance" from 2005, which to date remains her most ludicrous and idiotic experiment.
As a huge Tiffany supporter, of course I went out and bought this, but it is in no way a classic Tiffany album - only because the songs themselves are such weak melodies. The 'best' of the bunch is "Winter's Over", which I like due to its more mature lyrics, and a gorgeous vocal performance from Tiffany. The song is beautiful - think of it as a classic accompaniment to her 2000 ballad "If Only". But the good ends there. Lead single "Feels Like Love" is downright trashy, devoid of any personality or soul, and is a pathetic 'comeback single', or single in general. I never thought I would indulge in 'Tiffany-bashing', but seriously, I WANT this woman to have a hit. Releasing these disgustingly boring songs with no meter or 'hit' quality, and no remote sense of melody, will only serve to reiterate the theory that she is 'past her prime'. Please Tiffany, review the songs that come your way before recording them. PLEASE.
"Feels Like Love", besides easily being the No. 1 worst song in Tiffany's entire back-catalog (yes, even worse than the embarrassing "Mr. Mambo") also has a music video (if you can find it) - this video is famous for all the wrong reasons - you have Miss Darwish coyly sitting on a sofa letting her massive, humungous mammary glands hang out unabashedly, while crooning a 'pure love song' to her new beau. I personally found it repulsive, revolting, and bannable.
"Just Me" is not bad - its just that its not very good either. When it soars, it soars on exactly one song ("Winter's Over"). When it falls, it falls hard. Either the people giving this mediocre album are hugely delusional Tiffany fans with no ear for music, or perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about. Either way, this album was a disappointment for me. I'm giving this two and a half stars on five - and even that, in retrospect, seems generous.
Check out Tiffany's truly good albums - "The Color of Silence" from 2000, and the underrated "Dreams Never Die" from 1995 (re-released in 2006) |
