George Michael's very first solo album "Faith", originally released in 1987 enjoyed tremendous success throughout the end of the 80s. It was a true world-class masterpiece! "Faith" produced six number 1 hit singles in the United States, a major accomplishment for someone who had just released his first album.
"Faith" was a great transition for George Michael to go from a young pop pinup group "Wham" to become an iconic superstar! He then soon started to duet with major stars such as Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Mary J Blige, and Paul McCartney.
Personally, I have been listening to "Faith" non-stop for many years, I have always loved this album. However, when you didn't think it could possibly get better, George Michael decided to release a remaster of "Faith".
The added tracks "I Believe When I Fall In Love", "Love's In Need Of Love Today", "Fantasy", and the remixes of "Monkey" are sublime! There are also instrumental versions of "Faith" and "Kissing A Fool" which are wonderful.
My personal favorites are "Father Figure" (both versions), "I Want Your Sex" (parts 1, 2, 3), and "Monkey" (all versions, I never understood why this particular track didn't do better, it's a great song and the video was very well made). "I Believe When I Fall In Love" and "Kissing A Fool" are also some of my favorites. However, overall this album is superb, I highly recommend it and I honestly believe that everyone should get their copy of "Faith" Remastered.
Get your copy of "Faith" Remastered or "Faith" merchandise on George Michael's official website.
