Album Review: George Michael -“Faith” (Remastered Edition)
George Michael became a household name after the release of his debut solo album, Faith in 1987. Now almost 24 years after its original release date, this Grammy Award-winning album has been remastered and it is better than ever.
Faith spent 87 weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album produced six chart-topping singles. These singles include, “Father Figure,” ” I Want Your Sex,” “Monkey,” “Kissing A Fool,” “One More Try,” and the title track, “Faith.” Not only did this album make a mark in music history, but it also thrust George Michael into the spotlight, giving him a massive amount of recognition around the world.
It’s not often that you come across an album that can mesh with the changing times. Although Faith was originally released in the 1980s, Michael’s soothing voice coupled with his heartfelt lyrics make blending into today’s music seem almost effortless. Some albums from the 1970s and 1980s have a “dated” sound, but this remastered version of Faith is not one of them. The remastered version is much cleaner, and sharper than its original form. All of the songs sound as though George Michael recorded them yesterday.
Faith has something for everyone. “One More Try” is a heartwarming ballad that explores a man’s reluctance to enter into a new relationship because of a fear of being hurt. “I Want Your Sex,” and “Monkey” were two of Michael’s most popular dance songs and is heavily played in clubs and lounges even today. And if you’re looking for something a little more mellow, Jazz enthusiasts will get a kick out of the ballad “Kissing A Fool.” If you aren’t big on lyrics, then pop in the the second disc and listen to the instrumental versions of “Faith” and “Kissing A Fool”; you will be whisked away to a dream world after listening to them.
Paying tribute to an artist like George Michael could never be confined to just one CD. So, what better way to show appreciation for George Michael than with not one but three Faith packages?
The three Faith packages available for purchase include: FAITH: DELUXE EDITION (12”x12” box set), FAITH (Double CD), and FAITH: SPECIAL EDITION ( 2 CD + DVD).
