NEW YORK -- Being two-timed never felt so good. Due to U.S. music fans' roaring welcome of British sensation Amy Winehouse's platinum-plus U.S. debut effort, Back To Black, Universal Republic Records announces today the nationwide release of her widely heralded UK debut, Frank, scheduled to hit record stores and the digital domain on November 20, 2007.

Released in England in 2003, Frank was hailed by British pop critics as a stunning introduction to Winehouse's soulful and starkly original sound, with leading UK newspaper The Guardian citing her as "a colossal vocal talent." American music audiences who were introduced to Winehouse via the bluesy and brazen Back To Black will appreciate Frank's gliding jazz and R&B leanings. Produced by hip-hop helmsman Salaam Remi (who also produced five tracks on Back To Black), the disc was nominated for two BRIT awards, as well as a Mercury Music Prize.

The colorful Winehouse is surrounding the American release of her Frank CD with a burst of activity. She will be making her much anticipated return to the U.S. with a coveted cov·et
