So Intense is the only studio album by American R&B singer and songwriter Lisa Fischer, released on April 30, 1991. Of the ten songs recorded for the album, "How Can I Ease the Pain", co-written by Fischer, was her biggest pop and R&B hit. It reached number 11 on the main US Hot 100 chart and number 1 on the US R&B chart. The only other single to make an impact was "Save Me", which, while failing to dent the Top 40 of the US Hot 100 (reaching number 74), came close to repeating the success of "How Can I Ease the Pain" on the R&B chart, where it peaked at number 7. The last single, the title track "So Intense", reached number 15 on the R&B chart.
