Product Description Amy Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released in 2003 and produced by Winehouse, Salaam Remi, Gordon "Commissioner Gordon" Williams, Jimmy Hogarth, and Matt Rowe. Its title alludes to the nature and tone of her lyrics on the album as well as one of her influences, Frank Sinatra. .com With her debut album Frank, Amy Winehouse proves to be one of the most original, honest, and brave singer/songwriters to emerge in recent years. Over the course of the 13 songs, she manages to do everything required of a classic album. This is a stark piece of work, comprising husky, frequently sexually charged vocals, painfully honest lyrics and soft trumpets, laidback beats, and sparse guitar work. It seems that soulful jazz doesn't always have to be bland--it can also be playful, twisted, and arrogant ("Amy Amy Amy"). "F*** Me Pumps" charts a seemingly guilt-free act of infidelity: "What do you expect when you leave me here alone?" she asks coyly, as if by way of justifiable explanation. "You wouldn't want me to be lonely," she adds. You can't help warming to her, despite what she's saying. A unique sense of humour (how rare in music now) and a no-bull attitude make for an interesting, compelling debut. Frank? Yes, but refreshingly so. You wouldn't want her for a girlfriend, but as a life companion she may yet prove indispensable. --Cortman Virtue P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review "A Colossal Vocal Talent" -- The Guardian"One Of The Most Impressive British Debuts In Years" -- Dazed And Confused"Stunnning Debut" Four Stars -- MOJO See more
