Out of the Blue is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson, released on August 18, 1987, by Atlantic Records.

[1] Gibson (who was then 16 years old) wrote all ten songs on this album, which reveals her very early talent for composing.

[6] As executive producer, Douglas Breitbart of Broadbeard Productions, Inc. (whom Gibson's mother had hired as manager five years before), assembled a team of producers from both New York and Florida: Fred Zarr, John Morales, Sergio Munzibai and Lewis A. Martineé.

[11][1] In their review of the album, Billboard stated that the "sixteen- year-old singer's low profile is not commensurate with her talent or success.

This 16-year old Long Island native has leaped into the pop/dance arena with wide eyes and a penchant for writing flowing ballads and sizzling dance grooves.
