George Michael will be releasing “White Light” to radio on June 29, 2012,\u201430 years to the day that “Wham Rap” entered the British Charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Most of my fans realise that I dreamed of a career as a singer\/songwriter from an early age, but never in my wildest imaginings could I have known that I would still be here thirty years later, healthy, happy, and feeling that I still have so much more music to give. It is miraculous in so many ways. Fate has been so kind to me, as have the millions of people that that have bought records and come to see me play year after year since 1982. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

George’s entire statement is available at the official site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“White Light” will be available on Aegean Records through Island\/Universal on August 12, 2012. It was written, arranged, and produced by George Michael  The track listing is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. White Light
2. Song to the Siren
3. White Light – Voodoo Sonics Remix
4. White Light – Kinky Roland Remix<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In related news, George Michael has asked Kate Moss to appear in the video for “White Light.”<\/a> According to the Mirror, she was upset when she was not invited to be in the “Freedom ’90” video and so George has asked her to appear in a cameo role for the new video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
