Frantic Romantic is the second album by American R&B singer Jermaine Stewart, released in 1986. The album includes Stewart's biggest pop hit, "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off", as well as the minor follow-up hit, "Jody", for whom Stewart's former Soul Train dance-mate Jody Watley was the inspiration. The album was re-issued on CD on October 18, 2010 by Cherry Red in the UK.
Reception NME said of the producer, Walden, "He's done a passably lively production job here, although it takes some skill to disguise Stewart's patent lack of charisma; the man sings like a Tasmanian devil interrupted while grooming."
