After rising to fame as the lead singer of Wham!, George Michael left the teenybopper persona behind in a bold transformation from pop heartthrob to serious musician– Faith sees Michael writing and producing all the songs while also playing many of the instruments himself. It’s the quintessential debut solo album that showcases Michael’s versatility across a variety of music styles, from the iconic uptempo “Faith” to the sultry “I Want Your Sex” to the big-band swing of “Look at Your Hands” to the Freddie-Mercury-Meets-Jazzy-Piano-Bar closer of “Kissing A Fool”. The album was a commercial triumph, winning the Grammy for Album of the Year, selling 25 million copies worldwide, and launching a career that would solidify his place as one of the defining voices of pop and soul in the late ’80s and beyond.
