The five hundred and ninety-fifth album: #595 George Michael - Faith
It's really impressive how George Michael here builds on what he did at Wham!, having the same pop background but mixing in large amounts of funk and other influences. The tracks are distinct, with different focuses on each - Father Figure builds more on vocals while I Want Your Sex has its lyrics be almost perfunctory while the dance sound and other parts are more important. A lot of the album revolves around love songs, and in hindsight some of it, like the talk about danger in One More Try, has a deeper meaning, but it is clearly also the topic he wants to write about here.
