Deborah Gibson 'Grateful' For The Chance To Tour
With *NSYNC Pop singer Deborah Gibson has returned from the road after opening several recent dates on *NSYNC's PopOdyssey tour. While on tour, she performed some of her popular hits as well as songs from her new album M.Y.O.B. (Mind Your Own Business), which was released earlier this year on her own record label, Golden Egg Records. "I was grateful for the opportunity, and we had a blast," Gibson said of her brief outing with *NSYNC. She added that the exposure she received from being on such a high-profile tour wasn't such a bad thing either, explaining, "Well, it's unusual that a newer act takes an older act out, but it was kind of like it validated me in the eyes of some current pop-industry people." Gibson, who celebrated her 31st birthday on August 31, told LAUNCH that the tour ended up being a perfect fit for both acts. "It makes sense because their performance style and my performance style is actually very similar. The older members of the group and I are the same age, and I think we reach a lot of the same people. I think we reach people that love kind of kitschy, solid, good entertainment, and those great pop melodies and hooks, so it all seemed to work." Gibson's new single, "Your Secret," which had been scheduled for release on September 4, has now been pushed back to a later date still to be determined. She will head to Japan next week to perform and to promote M.Y.O.B. |
