Shadows and Light is the second studio album by the American vocal recording group Wilson Phillips, released on June 2, 1992, via SBK Records, a sublabel of EMI Records. The group worked again with Glen Ballard, who produced the record and co-wrote a majority of the tracks. A majority of the album was recorded in studios around Hollywood.
Named one of the biggest commercial disappointments of the year by The Vindicator, the album proved less successful than their debut studio album Wilson Phillips (1990), commercially. Although it peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200, it was only certified platinum by the RIAA, a far cry from the five-times platinum certification their debut album received. Internationally, the album cracked the top ten in Canada, Japan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. None of the album's three singles cracked the top ten in the United States, although the lead single "You Won't See Me Cry" did top Canada's RPM Top Singles chart. At the end of 1992, member Chynna Phillips decided to leave the group and as a result, they disbanded and would not re-unite until 2001.
