New Inside is the third studio album by Tiffany, released on October 2, 1990 (see 1990 in music). Tiffany had broken with manager/producer George Tobin soon after her 18th birthday, and signed with manager Dick Scott and producer Maurice Starr. Starr was the producer responsible for putting together the group New Kids on the Block, who had risen to teen popularity by opening for Tiffany in 1988, and who had since eclipsed Tiffany in degree of pop success (she even opened for them in 1989). This album came out on Tiffany's 19th birthday, and she hoped it would revive her faltering career.
New Inside was not a commercial success in the United States, and neither the album nor any single released from it made it onto the pop charts, though the title track "New Inside" got a little bit of airplay in some areas and reached some local radio stations' request-based countdowns thanks to the efforts of fans, who were starting to get organized on bulletin board systems and online services. In Japan, the album was a Top 20 success, where it peaked at #17, and staying in the Top 100 for a total of 6 weeks.
An attempt was made to take advantage of current events by rededicating the song "Here in My Heart", written by superstar songwriter Diane Warren (who is responsible for many pop hits for other artists), to the troops serving in the Gulf War. Previously, the song had been dedicated to AIDS victim Ryan White.
Ultimately, Tiffany broke with Scott and Starr, and returned to George Tobin for her following album (released three years later).
"Dennis Cheese", credited with the rap in the title track, is Donnie Wahlberg of the New Kids.
The release of the album showed Tiffany with a new look, a new dance-oriented/R&B sound with an urban influence, as well as the singer's new management. During the past year, Tiffany developed her new image, got reacquainted with her family after two years of constant recording and performing, and sang on the soundtrack of the Jetsons film.
