Spellbound is the name of the 1991 pop album released by Paula Abdul. Released in May of that year, the album was an international success and spawned major radio hits with the singles "Rush, Rush," "The Promise of a New Day," "Blowing Kisses in the Wind," "Vibeology," and "Will You Marry Me?". Though it was not as successful as Abdul's previous studio album, Forever Your Girl, the album was very successful in the United States, going triple platinum there (8.5 million worldwide) and peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200 becoming Abdul's second and last album to hit #1 on the chart.

Music videos were produced for each of the singles, and all received heavy airplay on MTV. "Rush, Rush," featuring Keanu Reeves — at that time a superstar — paid homage to the classic film "Rebel Without A Cause." Choreography for the ballad "Blowing Kisses in the Wind" included mid-air ballet. "Will You Marry Me?" featured several images of Paula singing a marriage proposal.

Some tracks are mixed using Q-Sound.
