On the 28th of June, 1986, George Michael embarked on a momentous occasion as he picked up his tasselled leather jacket and bid farewell to London's Wembley Stadium, effectively dismantling five years of dazzling pop history. At the age of 23, he had just bid farewell to Wham!, the band he had formed alongside his school friend Andrew Ridgeley during their teenage years. However, George Michael was well aware that he had reached a pivotal point in his life. He yearned to convince others that he had truly grown up. Faith emerged as a result of surpassing one's dreams, surpassing peers, friends, and fans, and yet finding no one who had caught up to his achievements. It was a journey of channeling confusion, insecurity, and an ardent ambition into music that exuded a sense of confusion, insecurity, and ambition. Remarkably, this musical creation managed to sell an astonishing 25 million copies, establishing George Michael as a trailblazer for disaffected singers who sought to make a similar transition.
This book delves into the examination of that model and the profound themes that permeated Faith. It explores the realm of engaging in politics, crossing over to a Black audience, and the art of crafting timeless pop songs that have withstood the test of time. By conducting interviews with the surviving key players, this book unravels the captivating story behind the creation of Faith, providing a comprehensive account of its genesis and the individuals who played a pivotal role in shaping its success.
George Michael's journey serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and the unwavering pursuit of one's artistic vision. His unwavering commitment to his craft and his willingness to push boundaries have left an indelible mark on the music industry, inspiring countless artists to embrace their individuality and pursue their dreams. Through the lens of Faith, this book offers a profound exploration of the themes that resonated with audiences worldwide, shedding light on the enduring legacy of George Michael and his profound impact on the world of pop music.
