Frank is the debut album by English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, released by Island Records in October 2003. It was nominated for two Brit Awards and was short-listed for the Mercury Music Prize. The album spawned the singles "Stronger than Me," "Take the Box," "In My Bed / You Sent Me Flying," and "Pumps / Help Yourself."
The album has been certified platinum for shipment of more than 300,000 copies. During the chart run of its follow-up, 2006's Back to Black, Frank re-entered the UK Albums Chart for a lengthy period.
The album is mainly a collaboration between Winehouse, who was still a teenager at the time of writing and recording, and noted hip-hop producer Salaam Remi; it features one entirely self-penned Winehouse original, "I Heard Love is Blind." The rest of the album is mainly composed of Remi's beats and arrangements and Winehouse's lyrics, vocal melodies and guitar work. The album also features two jazz cover versions - the standard "(There Is) No Greater Love" and "Moody's Mood for Love."
