So Intense is the debut (and thus far, only) studio recording from R&B singer and songwriter Lisa Fischer, released on April 30, 1991. Of the ten tracks recorded for this disc, the Fischer co-write "How Can I Ease the Pain" was her biggest pop and R&B hit, reaching number 1 on the U.S. R&B chart, while peaking just outside the top ten of the pop charts, resting at number 11.
