Frame's 1998 solo album, "The North Star," was a more stripped-down affair than some of his previous work, focusing on intimate songwriting and acoustic textures. The album saw Frame continue to refine his signature blend of melodic pop and introspective lyrical themes.
- "The North Star" was released in 1998 on the Alan McGee-associated label Creation Records, a move that signaled a new phase for Frame after his time with major labels.
- The album was produced by Rory McDonald, formerly of the Scottish band The Goodbye Mr Mackenzie.
- The album's lead single, "My Own Particular Flavor," received considerable airplay on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music.
