Debut is the second studio album by Icelandic recording artist
Björk. The album was released in July 1993 on
One Little Indian in the
United Kingdom and
Elektra Records in the

Nellee Hooper who co-wrote five of
Debut's songs with her. The album mostly consists of love songs relating to subjects such as her boyfriend Dominic Thrupp, her producer Nellee Hooper and the love of life itself. Musically, the songs on this album took a different direction from her previous albums with her former band
the Sugarcubes, with the backing music ranging from
house,
jazz and
trip hop styles.
