Description
Happy 30th Anniversary to Lisa Fischer’s debut (and only) studio album So Intense, originally released April 30, 1991.
Her origin story starts in Brooklyn, and Lisa Melonie Fischer discovered her potential early. She spent the 1980s ubiquitous as an in-demand New York session singer with credits aplenty. Touring with Chaka Khan, The Rolling Stones and Luther Vandross made her a consummate professional in music. It was Vandross who helped Fischer get signed to Elektra Records in 1988.
The label initially paired her with Teddy Pendergrass in 1990 for the spirited “Glad to Be Alive.” Showing up with an R&B giant was only appropriate. Fischer was sopping with old school sensibilities, youthful energy, and a voice that could be mousy or monstrous. It didn’t hurt that she looked so damn good in an LBD. All she really needed to do for her success was reach out and curl her fingers around it.
Deluxe Edition Includes Four Bonus Tracks: 1. Save Me // 2. Get Back to Love // 3. How Can I Ease the Pain // 4. So Intense // 5. Wildflower // 6. Some Girls // 7. So Tender // 8. Send the Message of Love // 9. Chain of Broken Hearts // 10. Last Goodbye // Bonus Tracks: 11. Save Me (DM2 Mix) // 12. Save Me (Red Zone Dub) // 13. Save Me (Extended Mix) // 14. Save Me (Radio Mix).
