George Michael

Songs From The Last Century

Another GREAT album that exceeded my expectation

Review Score:

(10/10)
I remember in his "Cover to Cover" concert that he had such a talent to make other people's songs sound just as if they were his own. He also has been recording covers and they all have been amazing (most recent ones are Stevie Wonder's "As" and Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me."). It was apparent that I could expect a good album from him, but he easily exceeded my expectation and came out with another excellent album. What is most amazing to me is that he picked all different types of songs, and make an album, and all ten songs makes this album whole and complete. I mean there is no better arrangements or worse arrangements. They are all well arranged and produced that it makes this album a high quality one. I am very amazed how he recorded "Roxanne" and "Miss Sarajevo" with the sound that is really "Jazzy." This album makes you wonder if this is the same artist that wrote "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" (Not that it's a bad song). The entire album tends to be indeed slow, but very romantic. I'm very glad that he worked on this project. The great artist is the one that could take chances even if risks involved are great. This album certainly proved that he is one of the greatest artist of the 20th century.
