Debut (Björk album)

Debut (French for debut, first appearance) is the first solo album by Icelandic singer Björk after her split from the Sugarcubes. The title of the album is somewhat misleading, as Björk released her actual debut album as a solo artist back in 1977 at the age of eleven. Debut was recorded mostly in London with various producers, such as Nellee Hooper, Howie B. and David Arnold. The album was released in July 1993 by One Little Indian Records and Elektra Records.
