Faith is one of the defining pop albums of the 1980s and the record that established George Michael as a major solo superstar following the success of Wham! Released in 1987, the album blends pop, rock, soul, R&B and dance influences into a remarkably consistent collection of hit singles and deep album tracks.
The album produced an extraordinary run of international hits including Faith, Father Figure, One More Try, Monkey, Kissing A Fool and Hard Day. George Michael wrote, arranged and performed much of the material himself, showcasing both his songwriting ability and his distinctive vocal style. The result was one of the decade’s biggest-selling albums and a Grammy Award winner for Album of the Year.
For collectors, original vinyl pressings remain highly desirable, particularly clean copies from the late 1980s when vinyl was beginning to lose ground to compact discs.
