This is Michael Mixerr. I am reviewing George Michael - Listen Without Prejudice.
George Michael was at the peak of his solo career when he released the Listen Without Prejudice Interview album in 1991. This album has a more acoustic vibe due to its instrumentation. He reflects on his music with such intensity. It was a complete departure from the sound off his debut album earlier in 1987. The album was platinum over several times in various countries across the world.
However it wasn’t all glamour for this solo star. He faced several challenges with Sony when recording the Listen Without Prejudice album. He claimed Sony did not promote his albums properly and was holding him back. Coincidentally it did not hinder the album from becoming another success surprisingly of course.
Despite the several challenges he faced with Sony when recording the Listen Without Prejudice album, the rewards and benefits turned out great. Recording this album to him was considered awarding.
Freedom is an upbeat dance track with an upbeat vibe. Of course the song is a ballad as George Michael is known for his ballads. Freedom samples Soul II Soul - Back To Life. The song received a great deal of play in the posh clubs of the United Kingdom.
Soul Free is a song that incorporates elements of soul music and dance music all into one song. The vibe is fairly upbeat and so is the sound.
I rate this album, Listen Without Prejudice, 4/5****.
