As a commercial strategy, following a merely schlocky cover of a schlock-rock classic with the better of two schlock ballads was aces--number-one singles, double-platinum LP, what more could a svengali ask? But she's got better in her...

Maturity doesn't become her--exchanging schlock-rock remakes for still more Hollywood readymades, she's hellbent for biz divahood and may well get there. But she hasn't shed that husky Valley-girl drawl quite yet.

This album is no worse than, say, Tiffany's multiplatinum debut. One might even prefer it to its predecessor, because it doesn't disembowel any beloved classics like "I Think We're Alone Now" and "I Saw Her Standing There." The new record is full of the same brand of synthesizer-heavy teen pop, with all hands trying to fill in the massive holes left by the Tiff's weak warble. Walls of keyboards and programmed drum sounds create a package whose wrapping is far more interesting than what's inside...

She liberated herself from George Tobin,the aggressive manager who discovered her and produced her earliertwo records. Now she's free to sing R&B; instead of pop, as she toldinterviewers a year ago she wanted to. Trouble is, the R&B; she sings here is the mass-produced kind,electronic and unusually punchy...

Tiffany Darwisch became the youngest female artist to have an album reach Billboard's number one spot with this eponymous debut. Aside from the teen anthem "I Think We're Alone Now," the regretful piano ballad "Could've Been" (both of which went to number one), and the Top Ten single "I Saw Him Standing There," her approach is more country-pop than the dance-flavored music popular at the time...

Tiffany's second album, a stronger, more complete package than the first, showcased a more mature image and sound without much alteration of the misunderstood-teen theme that brought her first success. Though only the ballad "All This Time" (which hit the Top Five) and the up-tempo "Radio Romance" (which barely broke the Top 40) were the only singles to gain any attention, there were many other cuts worthy of chart action...
