WHAM! - 1984 (1 ALBUM)
"MAKE IT BIG" 1984 WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO - The opener to the abum was a 50s/60s inspired uptempo Rock and Roll/Pop crossover that would encourage every listener to try and stop themselves from singing the infectious chorus. EVERYTHING SHE WANTS - For me is one of George Michael's best lyrical songs. It's not a ctchy Pop song, it doesn't have a catchy chorus, its composition keeps changing in the song, for fans of songwriting like myself though, the lyrics are brilliant. This was a taster for the brilliant mature songs to come as a solo performer for George. HEARTBEAT - This has elements of a slowed down "Freedom" hidden in the track but its ultimately a Motown Soul song similar to the greats of that genre in the 60s. It showcases George's blossoming vocals and also his carrying of songs with a minimal backing. LIKE A BABY - In my opinion is the weakest track on the album, it meanders
