Naked is the debut solo album by English singer Louise. Released in July 1996, it peaked at number seven on the UK Albums Chart and sold over 300,000 copies in the UK alone, being certified platinum.

Background

After leaving Eternal, Louise signed a solo record deal with First Avenue Management. She was still under contract to EMI Records at that time, and in October 1995 she released her debut solo single, "Light of My Life", which peaked at No. 8. Six months later, Louise's second single "In Walked Love" (previously a hit for American dance-pop group Exposé), peaked at No. 17. However, her third single, "Naked", was a bigger hit, peaking at No. 5 in the UK. The album Naked was released shortly afterwards. Two further singles, "Undivided Love" and "One Kiss from Heaven", also became top-10 hits later in 1996.
