Singer-wise, I think he's brilliant.
GuyHOST
Freedom 90, I really like that remaster.
GuyHOST
I think it's a masterstroke because if anybody who was into Wham! now wasn't into George Michael, they would probably go back to that as well.
GuyHOST
So it's a nice little hook, if you like.

Right.

If you listen to John Lennon's particularly mid-70s stuff like Mind Games, this is a much, much better take on that sound, on that melody.
SimonHOST
Freedom 90, I agree with everything you said.
SimonHOST
And listening back to it, okay, like supermodels in the video and so on, but it's just so well captured.
Paul HinesHOST
I, I like George Michael, and he, he went through a dance phase, though, that I find completely unlistenable, terrible stuff.

It had Freedom 90 on it, also praying for time and waiting for that day.
speaker_0HOST
And it was actually a really good album, but not what people were expecting at that point.

In 1991, Blues Traveler released Travelers and Thieves.
Lena DunhamHOST
Yeah.

These supermodels and their income are also inextricably linked to Gianni Versace, who really kicked shit off with his March 91 couture show, which featured Linda, Christy, Naomi, Cindy, Crawford, walking down the runway together, lip syncing the words to Freedom 90.
Lena DunhamHOST
So this was a huge moment that connected these increasingly famous women.

Christy Turlington BurnsGUEST
It was on the cover of British Vogue.
Christy Turlington BurnsGUEST
And then George Michael had just written that swan song, essentially, to Sony Music that was Freedom 90.
Christine TaylorHOST

Christy Turlington BurnsGUEST
he was very good friends with Herb Ritz, who's a photographer that many of us were quite close to, worked with a lot, but were also very friendly with.
