Customer Review

Remember when this disc was released: 1987 - So at that time you could now also confidently bzeichnen as dark Middle Ages' in pop history - that phase so in the music God paused. Mainstream was 95% covered with concrete of unit productions with hideous synthetic sounds, and also the composer resorted increasingly using very very simple melodies; Unfortunately, this was also true of the soul music that Äre across strongly - She sounded - what an irony - soulless.
The all things, a white bread, the previously almost 5 years with a BoyBand the charts stirred up, came along as a ray of hope and savior of the genre is more than strange. Well, there was also Prince, but that's about it for now.

Of course it was also a pop Soul variant, and the pseudo rock'n'roll track number did not fit properly so the rest of the album, but he was damn good (produced). The radio indulged the good George still the same fierce and lascivious in the best manner with Prince, I Want Your Sex '- his first post Wham! Publication - and extensively because in three parts - one at that. Whether that would probably also become such a big hit, if he had then already outed? No matter who is song class and simulated with its 3 parts a sexual act - between whom now whatsoever - actually perfect. , Father Figure 'is a great mid-tempo song composed with drama, One More Try' a very large - perhaps the great soul ballad 80s. , Hard Day 'and' Monkey 'are for this time exceptionally tasty safely arranged soul-funk blast the very cross-eyed on the dance floor and sound-wise anticipate much from the first coming dancefloor boom. , Hand To Mouth 'infatuated with his restrained vocals and also modest but fast rhythm, and, Look At Your Hands I updated again very quickly and in passing rhythm and blues (in the song must always, I Heard It Through The Grapevine 'think). Kissing A Fool 'shows then for the first time the crooner George Michael and Frankie boy had probably his joy at the boy, but even that is very black tinged - more than Sinatra Nat King Cole.

An album anyway, which is among the best that the 80s have brought forth, and one that abolished the Kunstück to draw on the past and thus gelichzeitig to have in the future - especially as the production were concerned. Probably the best songwriter moderate because most consistent George Michael album.
