From Amazon.co.uk
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

The Guardian

Customer Reviews

Bluesy Soul for Grownups (If a bit vulgar)
I have liked this album better each time I listen to it, and I definitely like it better than "Black". Her voice is noticeably better, and the caustic humor is just as biting. "You should be stronger than me", is a great example.

So here's the short version,
Frank is a very good CD if... you love old school R&B (60's)
AND
You aren't put off by bad language, and adult themes. In other words, I would never play it with my parents or kids in the room, but I like it for what it is.

awesome cd
This is my first experience listening to Amy Winehouse, I can't get over what a terrific voice she has. Elements of Ella, Sarah Vaughan. Amy has been training her voice since she was 8 yrs old and in special music schools and it shows.

Amy's roots
This is good album of Amy's early work to see the progress she made, but is pales in comparison to Back to Black, which is her masterpiece.
