George Michael "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" (1990)
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!
