Faith cover
Released

What to do when you’d become an unquestionable world-conquering pop superstar, vocalist and songwriter with your first group and decided to go solo and you’re not even twenty-five yet? Easy: blow the roof off the entire solar system with one hell of a debut effort. Preceded by the utterly saucy, minimal groove of “I Want Your Sex” and then the slick updated rockabilly of the title track, Faith was George Michael in excelsis, ranging from the sharp Reagonomics slam of “Hand to Mouth” to the poised beauty of “One More Try” and “Father Figure”’s gospel of desire.
