Frontiers is the fifth solo album by Jermaine Jackson, and the third post-Jackson 5 solo album released in 1978. It is Jackson's worst-selling album, despite having a minor hit with the song "Castles of Sand". Like Feel the Fire before it, it also features the Tower of Power horn section. It also features the group Switch, who Jackson had helped get signed with Motown. The arrangements are by Greg Adams, Don Peake, Paul Riser, McKinley Jackson, Gene Page and H.B. Barnum. Sam Emerson was responsible for the cover photography.

The cover notes, "This album is dedicated to my daughter to be, Autumn".
