Albums First Released in 2003

Hip hop dominated much of 2003, while indie rock, metal and singer-songwriters continued to reshape the album market. Notable albums first released in 2003 include Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast, Metaphorical Music by Nujabes, Room on Fire by The Strokes and Frank by Amy Winehouse.

OutKast split a double album between two distinct personalities, Nujabes joined hip hop with jazz, the Strokes refined their debut's economy and Amy Winehouse introduced a voice rooted in jazz and soul.

Our Pick of the Year: Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below gives Big Boi and Andre 3000 a full album each rather than forcing their ideas into one sound. The Way You Move and Hey Ya! became the obvious hits, but the double set also moves through Southern rap, funk, jazz and pop. Its scale reflects OutKast's confidence after a decade together.
