Patience<\/em> in 2004.<\/p>\n“Work dragged me out of my malaise,” George Michael told Chris Evans this morning. “When I wrote ‘White Light’, I realized I had the energy to finish an album this summer.<\/p>\n
“I had planned on putting out a ‘Symphonica’ album this year, because I felt so bad for those people who were looking forward [to the axed tour due to illness].<\/p>\n
“I already mixed most of that album, then I wrote ‘White Light’ unexpectedly. Muse, bless their hearts, they gave us this couple of weeks in the studio I always use. They went somewhere else.”<\/p>\n
He continued: “I realized how many songs I had lying around [from when I came out of prison]. I realized that if I really put my back into it that I could get an album out for autumn and give people a new record a year earlier than expected.”<\/p>\n
Of his new album, he said: “So far I’m thrilled with it. It’s the most directly commercial record I’ve made since Faith<\/em>. It’s not necessarily my best, I think that Older<\/em> is my favorite record.<\/p>\n“But the songs I’ve written in the last 20 years haven’t slapped you in the face with their hooks.”<\/p>\n
He added: “I’m always terrified that people won’t think it’s as good as I do, but if I didn’t have that approach I wouldn’t do what I do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
