Intoxicated Lover is the debut Cantonese studio album by Hong Kong singer Kelly Chen. It was released on December 15, 1995, through Go East Entertainment Company Ltd/ Polygram Records in Hong Kong.[1] Intoxicated Lover was characterized as a Brit Pop record that was under the influence of pop music from the early 1990s. This album includes a wide range of highly qualified songs which aren't easily found in other Hong Kong singer's debut album. And it successfully intermingles pop with elements of Trip hop, Dance-pop and Acoustic music which had a great influence on The Music of Hong Kong at that time.
Before the debut album's release, Kelly had already established a substantial fanbase in Hong Kong because she was fashionable and distinctive for a newcomer, and her first Cantonese single from her first soundtrack album 《Whatever Will Be, Will Be (仙樂飄飄)》was a big hit which peaked at number 1 on Four Hong Kong Top 10 Singles Charts.
The album spawned three singles. Dance-pop 《It's none of your business (唔關你事)》 was released as the lead single from the project and peaked at number 2 on Hong Kong 903 Top 20 Singles. Subsequent single acoustic music《I don't want to let you go (誰願放手)》was a commercial success. It peaked at number 1 on Hong Kong 903 Top 20 Singles and number 2 on RTHK Top 10 Singles. Indie pop 《I will miss you (我會掛念你)》 was released as the final single. It was also a successful single that peaked at number 1 on Hong Kong 997 Top 10 Singles, number 3 on Hong Kong 903 Top 20 Singles, and number 7 on RTHK Top 10 Singles.
Please note that trip hop 《Intoxicated Lover (Distorted Affair)(醉迷情人(Distorted Affair))》was not a single from this album, it was a single from her first collaborative album 《Open Up The Sky (打開天空)》
