Another excellent solo album from GM. He was clearly still looking to show that he was more than a pretty face and a pair of short-shorts in Wham!
The album mixes jazz, gospel and West Indian influences, with a range of sonic textures and GM's strong voice soaring over it all.
Amazing voice, and his rendition of Stevie Wonder's "They won't go when I go" is a new favourite.
Unfortunately, the record did not sell as well as it's predecessor "Faith" ...though 8 million in sales sounds pretty damned good to me. GM quarrelled with his record label, accusing them of not supporting his career. Everyone just needs to calm the heck down!
