Amber is the second studio album by Dutch singer Amber. It was released in 1999 on Tommy Boy Records, and features dance-pop, Hi-NRG, house, and Urban contemporary songs.[2] It is her most well-received album by the American pop mainstream, to date. She co-wrote three songs with songwriters/producers Rick Nowels and Billy Steinberg: "Sexual (Li Da Di)," "Above the Clouds," and "Love One Another." The song "Above the Clouds" was featured in the season 3 finale of the television series Sex and the City.

After the digital release of The Hits Remixed - Extended in June 2022, which contained full length remixes of Amber's hit singles and sparked a renewed interest in her music, Amber entered the Amazon Digital Dance/Pop Albums chart and peaked at number 3.
