George Michael Partying Down Under

Is George Michael out promoting the re-release of Faith?  Nope.  He’s in Australia having a good time:

And it looks like he has found a new pal in Packed to the Rafters star, and budding jazz/pop performer, Hugh Sheridan.

It’s understood the unlikely pair crossed paths at celebrity Sydney nightspot Ivy late Saturday night after a day of revelry at Good Vibrations music festival.

Spies say Michael and Sheridan got along like a house on fire, hanging out most of the night, before the Faith singer kicked on to Oxford St day club Phoenix.

“It was amazing to meet a music legend like George Michael,” was all Sheridan — pictured here with the Fast Love singer and a pal from Adelaide — said yesterday.

Reviews of Faith Remastered

The reviews for Faith Remastered are starting to roll in.

Rolling Stones gives Faith: Special Edition four stars.

Why wasn’t George Michael’s “Hard Day” one of the biggest hits of 1988? Because every other song on his album already seemed to be on the charts. Faith — which produced six Top Five singles — established Michael as a full-grown Brit-funk stud, with “I Want Your Sex” setting up his female fans for years of disappointment. The album holds up as one of the Eighties’ smartest megapop statements, full of passion and surefire hooks. This edition adds a CD of 12-inch mixes and B sides (check out Shep Pettibone’s nine-minute “Hard Day” mix) and a DVD of videos, so you can see George write “Explore Monogamy” on some lucky lady’s bare flesh in lipstick.

The Washington Post also has a review:

Twenty-four years on, “Faith” still represents the apotheosis of Michael’s career, the moment when everything was just right: He was newly soulful, but still interested in crafting mammoth pop melodies. He was serious, but not yet insufferable. Now stricken with what the British tabloids are calling “creative malaise,” Michael hasn’t released an album of new material in almost seven years, and an album of good material in going on 15.
