Intimate (Toni Pearen album)

Intimate (also known by its full title Toni Pearen's Intimate Album) is the debut album by Australian actress and singer Toni Pearen. Recorded throughout 1992 to 1993 and released in 1994, the album spawned two top ten singles and a third top forty single. At the time her music career commenced, Pearen had been a popular cast member of the Australian drama series E Street. She was one of many Australian actresses who ventured into a music career, following the success of Kylie Minogue, as well as Dannii Minogue and Pearen's E Street co-star, Melissa Tkautz, who scored a successful number one hit as well as other popular songs in the early '90s.
