LISTEN, INDEED!

Review Score: (10/10)
George Michael's second solo album is like a panoramic view into the soul of the man himself. The variety and spectrum of the songs on this album reinforce George's multi-level talent. Starting with his famous "Praying For Time", "Freedom" (in essence the story of his struggle to free himself from an oppressive record label), George does a 180-degree music turn with the spiritual, if not cryptic, "They Won't Go When I Go". (a personal favorite). "Cowboys And Angels" (my favorite song), is George at his very best. In the vein of "Kissing A Fool" and "Last Request (I Want Your Sex, Part 3) from his FAITH album, "Cowboys And Angels" has that jazz & blues-like quality that touches your innermost being when you listen closely to the words and allow the music to envelope you completely. The contemplative mood of the album continues with "Waiting For That Day/You Can't Always Get What you Want" and the bittersweet tenderness of "Mother's Pride". The upbeat "Heal The Pain" and the jazzy "Soul Free" are jewels, as is the last cut, "Waiting(Reprise)". From start to finish this album is extraordinary.
