Björk's debut album is also titled Debut.

A debut is a first publication from an artist.

A debut album is the first recording by an artist or a band. As such, debuts often have a deeper meaning than other albums. Many popular bands are the product of a big amount of practice and lots of practice tracks, which then condense the "roughness" and "eagerness" of a coming band with many times a style, that remains unsurpassed in the band's later production. The debut albums of such basic examples as the Rolling Stones and the Beatles showcase unique energy not found on their later productions, even if they instead showed more style, finesse and professionalism. Elvis Costello produced the Pogues' debut album in a rough and amateurish way, because "I saw my task... was to capture them in their dilapidated glory before some more professional producer fucked them up".
