Apologies, I ADORE this album. Actually, no apologies. I didn't actually own a copy until last year. Back in '87 and early '88 and it was everywhere in my world. You couldn't escape it. Not that I wanted to. The songwriting and production is perfect pop for me. Yes, Georgie is trying to grow up. He lays down a marker for this on tracks like Kissing a Fool and Father Figure. But the fun is still there on I Want Your Sex. Ewww. This actually seemed radical at the time. He's a great artist, and this is his peak. Spin on that, MUTHAS.

There’s a lot that I like about Mr Michael as a public figure, and the opening track is a great pop song. However, about 4 tracks in I felt it was all a bit Prince-lite. Soul pop is really not my thing, and the songs here did nothing for me. I don’t think I really need a ‘grown-up’ Wham! in my life. Bland and uninspired.
