Shut Up (Kelly Osbourne album)

Shut Up is the debut studio album by British singer-songwriter Kelly Osbourne. The album is a punk-rock/pop album, released by Epic Records. Released on 26 November 2002, the album was met with a mixed reception from music critics, however, the album was met with disappointing sales which led to her consequent drop from Epic Records. Shut Up was later re-released in 2003 as Changes, featuring her and her father Ozzy's cover of the Black Sabbath song "Changes". The album features a cover of Madonna's song "Papa Don't Preach".
