debut
'das Debüt' and 'das Debütalbum' both have to do with a first step in public. However, 'das Debüt' is more general: it can be the first appearance of a person or group, but also the first published work. 'das Debütalbum' is more specific and means only the first released music album by an artist or band. Learners may confuse the words because a debut album is also a kind of debut. But when you are specifically talking about music and an album, 'Debütalbum' is more natural and more precise.
