Hot Summer (album)

Hot Summer was a Cantopop album by Leslie Cheung released in 1988 by Hong Kong record company Cinepoly and followed on the heels of the success of Cheung's Summer Romance the year before. Like Summer Romance, the album also featured a collaboration with Japanese musicians.

Its songs were considerably popular and these included "Hot Summer", 貼身 ("Close Proximity"), 無需要太多  ("Don't Need Too Much"), 沉默是金  ("Silence is Golden"), 繼續跳舞  ("Keep on Dancing"),  and  内心爭鬥  ("Inner Struggle"). The song "Close Proximity" won the Jade Solid Gold Award in 1988 and was among the popular songs in Hong Kong for that year. Track 10 ("Love Again") is a Cantonese cover of Glenn Frey's 1982 song "The One You Love" from album No Fun Aloud.
