Christine McVie is the second solo album by the English musician, singer, and songwriter Christine McVie, released in 1984.

It was McVie's first solo recording since her 1970 self-titled release (under her maiden name). It features two singles that reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Got a Hold on Me" and "Love Will Show Us How", which reached numbers 10 and 30, respectively. The album itself also achieved modest success in the United States, peaking at number 26 and spending 23 weeks on the Billboard 200.[2] In the UK, the album reached number 58 on the UK Albums Chart.

The cover art was shot in Wiltshire, two hours outside of London. McVie arrived at the location at six in the morning, although the photo was not taken until three in the afternoon for the purpose of getting optimal lighting. Some studio shots were arranged for the single sleeves.[3]
