Shadows and Light is the second album by American vocal group Wilson Phillips, released in 1992 by SBK Records.

Background[edit]

Following their best-selling debut album Wilson Phillips, the trio enlisted the production again of Glen Ballard, who had also produced their debut.

The album's songs have a big contrast with the ones on their debut. While the majority of the songs on their debut album are upbeat with positive, lightweight lyrics, Shadows and Light features darker songwriting from the trio that deal with personal issues, such as the estrangement with their fathers ("Flesh and Blood", "All the Way from New York"), or child abuse ("Where Are You?").

The album received mixed reviews and, although a success peaking at number four in the United States and being certified Platinum, it was seen as a commercial failure elsewhere. Three singles were released from the album, and they had much less success than those featured on their debut. The ballad "You Won't See Me Cry" peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the uptempo "Give It Up" peaked at number 30 and the final single, the ballad "Flesh and Blood" failed to reach the top 100 altogether, peaking at number 119. By the end of the year, Chynna Phillips left the band and the group disbanded for 12 years.
