With
Atlanta
Pride’s
relocation
to
the
Atlanta
Civic
Center
this
year,
the
festival
needs
performers
with
appeal
to
draw
the
crowds
away
from
their
comfort
zone
in
Midtown.
Organizers
are
banking
on
Tiffany,
the
former
pop
princess
who’s
all
grown
up
and
ready
to
rock
for
Pride.
The
“I
Think
We’re
Alone
Now”
singer
who
grew
up
in
the
spotlight
and
counts
the
New
Kids
on
the
Block
among
her
childhood
friends
can’t
wait
to
get
back
to
Atlanta.
She
took
a
few
minutes
to
talk
to
Southern
Voice
about
why.
SoVo:
Your
Atlanta
performance
last
year
was
a
hit.
What
can
we
look
for
this
time?
Tiffany:
I’m
unveiling
some
new
songs
that’ll
be
coming
out,
so
there’ll
be
some
new
stuff
and
just
a
few
little
surprises
here
and
there.
So
I’m
really
excited
about
it.
This
show
is
a
little
different.
We
kind
of
rock
out.
Tell
us
about
the
new
song.
It’s
called
“Just
Another
Day,”
and
it’s
coming
out
probably
about
six
weeks
from
now.
I
think
we’re
going
to
do
our
usual
couple
different
dance
mixes
with
Josh
Harris
and
all
the
other
people
that
are
lined
up,
so
it’s
really
cool.
I’m
still
fascinated
by
[the
dance
remix]
world,
to
be
quite
honest
with
you.
I
write
and
just
kind
of
do
pop
songs
with
a
dance
flair,
and
they
take
it
a
whole
different
direction,
and
I
just
love
it.
What’s
it
like
seeing
someone
take
a
song
you
wrote
in
a
new
direction?
I’m
amazed
how
they
can
take
a
good
song,
a
great
song,
but
then
totally
trick
it
out.
All
that
electronica
or
trance
or
anything
like
that,
I’m
just
like,
“Wow,
what
a
gift.”
That’s
not
my
calling
as
a
songwriter.
As
an
artist,
I’m
always
like
a
kid
in
a
candy
store
wondering
what
they’re
going
to
do
with
the
remixes.
This
is
Atlanta
Pride’s
first
year
at
the
Civic
Center
and
on
the
Fourth
of
July.
How
does
it
feel
to
be
asked
to
help
anchor
the
line-up
in
this
new
phase
for
the
festival?
It’s
great.
I
think
everybody’s
going
to
be
out
there
having
a
good
time.
I
feed
off
the
people,
so
if
people
are
into
it
and
in
a
festive
atmosphere,
the
more
people
that
are
into
it,
the
more
fun
that
we
have
on
stage.
It’s
an
honor.
I
love
Atlanta.
As
a
straight
woman,
what
does
Gay
Pride
mean
to
you?
I
think
that
Gay
Pride
is
really
about
exactly
that:
being
proud
of
who
you
are
and
celebrating
life,
really.
Having
good
friends
around
you
and
just
kind
of
going
out
there
and
just
having
a
good
time.
I
really
think
that’s
what
it’s
about.
A
lot
of
my
friends
go,
“What’s
a
gay
Pride
about?”
And
I’m
like,
“You
know,
it’s
exactly
that.”
I
mean,
they
love
to
flash
it
up
a
bit,
and
I
think
that
the
gay
boys
definitely
know
how
to
have
a
good
time.
They
never
let
me
down
that
way.
Last
time
you
were
here,
you
had
just
released
your
album,
“Just
Me.”
How's
the
fan
reception
so
far?
It
got
great
response
and
stuff,
but
it
wasn’t
out
on
the
streets
the
way
that
I
had
hoped,
but
a
lot
of
that
stuff
is
out
of
your
hands
once
you
sign
a
partnership
agreement.
I’m
more
independent
now,
and
if
I
do
choose
to
do
a
dance
album,
it
will
be
independent
or
probably
be
on
my
own
label.
Right
now,
I’m
just
taking
things
back
into
my
own
hands,
which
is
truly
less
stress
for
me.
What
direction
are
you
headed
in
your
new
independence?
This
project,
we’re
just
having
fun
with.
The
new
single,
I
really
think
it’s
a
great
dance
song,
so
I’m
really
excited.
I’ve
been
doing
it
in
shows,
and
people
like
it.
I
mean,
you
live
and
you
learn.
For
me
as
an
artist,
if
I
can
continue
to
do
good
music
that
I
feel
is
another
stepping
stone
and
look
at
an
album
and
say,
“Well,
those
are
great
songs,”
whether
it’s
me
singing
in
my
shower,
I
don’t
care,
but
they’re
good
songs.
The
response
from
my
fans
is
always
great,
and
I’m
so
thankful
because
they
allow
me
...
