Whether you like it or not, it is that time of year again. And guess who has recorded another Christmas single - why yes, it's the voice of "Last Christmas" himself, George Michael. Take a listen to a clip of...
The Beatles Any song accompanied by a piano and violin The chord progression of George Michael’s “Praying for Time“ “Come On Eileen” Key changes Mike Viola The Edge’s guitar playing Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound The British Invasion of the 80s “Isn’t it a Pity” by George Harrison (both versions) The 7/4 signature of Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury...
Dear 90's ninnies, One of the greatest pleasures of the sublime absurd is sexual ambiguity. There's a point at which heterosexuality becomes lost in the strange performance of gender, and suddenly no statement beginning with, "Girl I wanna..." can convince audiences that there's no sodomy on the pirate ship. 1990's R&B boy band Color Me Badd really nails this, as well as nailing racial...
Michael W. Smith is the George Michael of the contemporary Christian music scene. Well, maybe he's more like the Phil Collins, but without the drums and the baldness. Nevertheless, he is a Christian rock god (no pun intended). His concerts are jam packed with holy rolling fans that would tota...
Once you has one huge hit with a seasonal song (“Last Christmas”) it’s hard to shake off the holiday bug. George Michael is releasing a stand-alone single for Christmas titled “December Song (I Dreamed Od Christmas)” and this is a sneak preview at the video. It’s animated, no side-t0-side shaking by George himself. Posted in Beats, [...]
"The swagger in your shoulder" Welcome back, Vivek Shraya! His last album was one of the most refreshing indie releases of 2007. Now he's back with his new one, Keys & Machines , and it's more of the same disco/electro/pop concoction. I'm a huge fan of Shraya's vocals, which on some tracks remind me of George Michael, Jake Spears and (more recently) Tommy Sparks. Not only that, but I...
RYAN FERRADA - ROOM 501 I seem to have been waiting for this album forever (indeed I last foretold of its coming back in March this year , and reviewed the lead off single "Dirty In The Club" back in October 2008 and the initial version in April 08 ). Indeed the lovely Ryan was one of my top tips for 2009. And with a month or so to go, the boy has done good by getting his outstanding album...
This song is on one of my favorites from George Michael's CD's " Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1." It's a great song about forgiveness and redemption. His voice sounds great! It would be so nice to... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
As some of you may know, it was the “X Factor” live results show last night and that meant another act had to get sent home. And after Saturday night’s Wham and George Michael themed performances, it was Olly Murs and John and Edward in the bottom two. The 18-year old Irish twins, who are now [...]
So George Michael couldn't be bothered to get out of his car and come to the studio; probably too busy having a bifta at home. I like some George Michael songs, namely Freedom (by Wham) and Praying for Time, neither of which were sung by our contestants last night.Jedward looked sharp, Danyl sounded a bit off, Stacey did a song I'd never heard George sing in my life, Olly did the worst George
So, here we go again. Last night's recap is confirming (a) that George Michael not only writes quite good songs, he writes songs that NOBODY else can sing, and (b) that this really is a fairly shit year. There's no Leona. There isn't even a credible Will Young. Fuck it. It's all about Jedward. In a reassuring return to form though, we're guaranteed a little bit of mental from tonight's guests. I should...
