Defined George Michael as an artist

Jeb

"Faith" cemented Georgios as a pop star, but I think it was "Listen Without Prejudice" that really let him plant his artist flag out there for the world to see. "Freedom 90" is a gem, a pop star's memoir wrapped up with a funky rhythm and a nice hook, then the video that went with it made it a legend. "Cowboys and Angels" is deliciously moody and takes on worlds of interpretation when you think now about what GM was going through then; same for "Heal The Pain". It's very easy to hear where his "Older" album got its start.

George Michael’s follow-up to the massive success of Faith found him turning inward, trying to gain critical acclaim as well as sales. Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1 is not an entirely successful effort; Michael has cut back on the effortless hooks and melodies that crammed not only Faith but also his singles with Wham!, and his socially conscious lyrics tend to be heavy-handed. But the highlights — the light, Beatlesque harmonies of “Heal the Pain,” the plodding number one “Praying for Time,” and also “Waiting for That Day” as well as the Top Ten “Freedom” — make a case for his talents as a pop craftsman. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
