出版：Sony Music ISRC CN-E04-308-00/A.J6 发行：上海声像出版社 专辑介绍： 时间考验艺人的实力、地位与价值，乔治迈克尔的才华征服了这一切，8张英国榜冠军大碟、8000万张全球专辑销售、30首英国榜TOP 10单曲（包括11首冠军曲与9首亚军曲），在这些神奇的数字与纪录的背后，性感与活力才是他致胜的关键，Wham！乐队时期的青春岁月或许久远，但是 ，乔治迈克尔身为艺人的魔力与魅力却是与日俱增。自上一张专辑《Older》发表后，刹那间八年已经过去！最新大碟《Patience》要让乐迷值得所有的等待！ 1984年，乔治迈克尔与Andrew Ridgeley所组成的Wham！乐队以"Wake Me Up Before You Go Go"一曲响彻全球排行榜。乔治迈克尔的动人歌喉随着"Careless Whisper"、"A Different Corner"两首独唱情歌的推出而为世人所熟悉，他超龄的成熟韵味与过人的唱功为千万歌迷所推崇。1986年在Wembley体育场举行的Wham!乐队告别演唱会吸引了7万多名乐迷。次年底，乔治迈克尔就推出了首张个人专辑《Faith》，专辑中包括"One More Try"、"Father Figure"等六首单曲在全美先后取得了冠军的佳绩，还夺下格莱美奖年度最佳专辑大奖。1990年发行的专辑《Listen Without Prejudice》中，乔治迈克尔透过60年代的灵魂乐与爵士乐的形式，与乐迷分享许多心理层面的真实感触，专辑收录的单曲"Freedom 90"破天荒地撮合克劳蒂亚希弗、娜欧蜜坎贝尔等超级名模一起出演音乐录像带。1996年乔治迈克尔推出离开Sony Music转入Virgin、Dreamworks厂牌后的第一张专辑《Older》，创作风格更趋内敛沉稳，专辑中共有包括哀悼黛安纳王妃的"You Have Been Loved"等6首单曲先后在英国榜取得佳绩。1999年岁末，乔治迈克尔重新灌唱"The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face"、"Roxanne"等20世纪流行名家的传世佳作，以专辑《Songs From The Last Century》挥别20世纪。 乔治迈克尔曾与包括：Aretha Franklin、Stevie Wonder、Elton John、Whitney Houston、Mary J. Blige等跨时代巨星合唱，他亦曾投身"Live Aid"、包括"向Freddie Mercury致敬演唱会"与"曼德拉自由演唱会"等大型义唱活动，他都曾全力参与其中。 2003年11月，乔治迈克尔重归Sony Music，2004年3月推出了全新专辑《Patience》，乔治迈克尔在词曲创作、编曲、制作上的精练与成熟，让新专辑里的每一首歌都绽放出无限的流行节奏神采，真正做到一张感动与动感兼具的流行乐时尚大碟。首支单曲"Amazing"洋溢着极为潇洒的时尚快感；取样自纽约三人团体The Ones的 2002年全美舞曲榜TOP 4单曲"Flawless"的"Flawless (Go To The City)"再次引爆时尚舞曲魅力；而标题曲"Patience"、"My Mother Had A Brother"、"Through"等歌曲里那份真诚告解般的情绪更是让人动容。 It must be hard being a George Michael fan. Patience is only his fourth studio effort in the 18 years since Wham! split, so its release must be some cause for celebration. There always seems to have been something preventing him from releasing a new album--from arrests for lewd behavior, protracted battles with record companies, or prolonged periods of grieving for departed family and friends. Thankfully, Patience is pretty good. Flitting between fraught ballads and up-tempo adult pop (the misguided sample-laden single "Freeek!" being the unnecessary exception), George here returns to the structure and mood of 1990s Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1. Patience is at its most delicate and moving with its title track, the intense, tabloid-attacking "Through" and the painful family memories of "My Mother Had a Brother." To balance this, hearts will be raised by "Amazing," with its echoes of the Bee Gees, "Round Here," in which George remembers his early days scampering around Bushey with Andrew Ridgley, and "Cars and Trains," which celebrates the kind of lifestyle that so riled the LAPD back in 1998. That's the thing about George Michael these days. Love him or loathe him, he is unapologetically himself. And fans should be very grateful for that. --Dominic Wills (Amazon.com) 专辑曲目: 01.
