Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

January 01, 1970

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 is the second solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter George Michael, released on 3 September 1990 by Columbia Records (Epic Records in the UK). The album was Michael's final album of all-new material on Columbia until 2004's Patience. Listen Without Prejudice was a stark departure from Michael's previous album, 1987's Faith, with largely acoustic instrumentation and a sombre intensity in many of the lyrics and melodies. While the album topped the UK Albums Chart, disappointing sales in the United States led to Michael's legal battles against Sony Music, in which he accused the corporation of not fully supporting him as an artist.[2]

Production edit

After the massive success of George Michael's 1987 album Faith, expectations for his follow-up album were also high. Michael wanted to be taken more seriously as a songwriter,[3] which resulted in a more thoughtful, often moody recording.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 is largely devoted to ballads and folk-styled rock songs, although there are a few dance tracks like "Freedom! '90" and "Soul Free". There was also a remix of "Freedom! '90" that incorporated elements of Soul II Soul's "Back to Life", which was released as a twelve-inch single and received a good deal[quantify] of club play.[where?][by whom?] Like Faith, each track was produced and arranged by Michael himself.

Release edit

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was released in September 1990. The album sold approximately eight million copies worldwide.[4] The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 22 and peaked at number two. The album spent the rest of 1990 in the top ten, with a total of 42 weeks on the entire chart.

In the United Kingdom, the album was a huge success, eclipsing sales of Faith. Listen Without Prejudice debuted on the UK Albums Chart at number one. It stayed at number two for the following two weeks. It spent 34 consecutive weeks in the top 20, and jumped from number 13 to number three in its 24th week. It spent a total of 88 weeks on the chart, and was certified quadruple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry on 2 January 1992.

The follow-up album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 2 (ostensibly scheduled to follow in June 1991[5]) was scrapped for reasons known only to Michael and his record company. Three of the tracks intended for that album appear on the 1992 charity compilation Red Hot + Dance, while a fourth ("Crazyman Dance") turned up on the B-side of that compilation's first single, "Too Funky".

Singles edit

The first single from Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, "Praying for Time", was released in August 1990, reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the US Billboard Hot 100—Michael's final US number one as a solo artist.[6][7]

The second single (third in the US), "Waiting for That Day", was issued a month after the album's release. Owing to a borrowed lyric from The Rolling Stones' hit "You Can't Always Get What You Want", co-writer credits were given to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It reached number 23 in the UK,[6] and, after being released there in spring 1991, number 27 in the US.[7]

In the US, "Mother's Pride", the "Waiting for That Day" B-side, reached number 46;[7] given its subject matter, it received considerable airplay on American radio during the Gulf War.[8]

The album's third single (second in the US), "Freedom! '90", became one of Michael's signature songs. It was a great success in the US, where it reached number eight and earned a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.[7][9] It charted lower in Michael's homeland, where it peaked at number 28.[6]

The fourth single, "Heal the Pain", peaked at number 31 in the UK in February 1991.[6]

The fifth single from Listen Without Prejudice, "Cowboys and Angels", entered the UK Singles Chart in March and peaked at number 45.[6]

"Soul Free" was commercially released as the sixth and final single in Australia, where it charted at number 95,[10] and Japan.[11]

Michael refused to appear in the music videos for the album's singles. Accordingly, the video for "Praying for Time" consisted of the song's lyrics projected onto a dark background, while the video for "Freedom! '90", directed by David Fincher, featured several supermodels lip syncing its lyrics, and the destruction by fire and explosion of several icons from Michael's recent Faith period.

Reissue edit

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was reissued on 20 October 2017 as Listen Without Prejudice / MTV Unplugged.[12][13][14] The reissue was first announced in September 2016.[15][16] The 2CD version includes the original remastered album on the first disc, and Michael's MTV Unplugged concert, recorded at 3 Mills Studios, London on 11 October 1996, on the second disc.[12] MTV Unplugged contains performances of "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "The Strangest Thing" that are identical to those previously released as B-sides to the single "Older", and the 2017 version of "Fantasy", reworked by Nile Rodgers and released as a single in September 2017.[12]

The 3CD+DVD deluxe edition includes two more discs: a CD with B-sides, remixes and rarities, and a DVD with a documentary and music videos.[13] Rarities on the third disc include: "If You Were My Woman" (recorded live at the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert in 1988 and featured on the "Praying for Time" single), "Crazy Man Dance", and "Do You Really Want to Know" and "Happy" (from Red Hot + Dance).[13] The original remastered album was also reissued on vinyl.[17] Listen Without Prejudice / MTV Unplugged entered the UK Albums Chart at number one with first-week sales of 56,088 copies, 27 years after the original album first topped the chart.[18][19]

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 received widespread acclaim reactions from music critics upon release.[28] In a rave review for Q, Mat Snow commented that the album "should prove" Michael's talent "to any lingering doubters".[26] Writing for the Chicago Tribune, Greg Kot found that Michael "makes a convincing case that he's more than just another pretty voice, another disposable pinup", particularly complimenting the album's spare sound, which he welcomed as a contrast to the more dance-leaning music dominating pop radio.[21] James Hunter of Rolling Stone said that Listen Without Prejudice generally "succeeds in its effort to establish Michael's seriousness and deliver him from caricature."[5] Los Angeles Times critic Chris Willman wrote that, "some self-seriousness aside", the album "is an impressive piece of work in which Michael's rich feel for melodies and instinctively perfect production skills have finally met up with songs that have the ring of personal, not commercial, passion."[23] Stuart Maconie opined in NME that it lacks "enough irresponsibility or hooks", but conceded that "it's hard to begrudge George his coming of age."[24]

Entertainment Weekly's Greg Sandow was less enthusiastic, finding Listen Without Prejudice less "vital" and "fun" than Faith, "and, for all its noble sentiment, entirely unchallenging".[22] In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau dismissed it as "cocktail music" and was unmoved by Michael's reflections on fame, saying that they merely indicate that "he doesn't know as much about stardom as he thinks".[27]

Listen Without Prejudice won the award for Best British Album at the 1991 Brit Awards.[29]

Legacy edit

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[30] In 2003, Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani called the album "a starkly personal statement that effectively set the artist's professional downfall into motion", suggesting that its "overall heaviness" failed to resonate with listeners expecting uptempo material in the vein of Michael's past work; he concluded that "the fact that there was never a Vol. 2, which was rumored to be the feel-good dance record said fans were probably waiting for, makes this one seem all the more sacred."[1] AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine found the album flawed, noting that Michael downplays his gift for "effortless hooks and melodies" and that his "socially conscious lyrics tend to be heavy-handed", but concluded that its best songs "make a case for his talents as a pop craftsman."[20]

Reviewing the album's 2017 reissue, Pitchfork writer Alfred Soto situated Listen Without Prejudice in the context of the then-burgeoning HIV/AIDS pandemic: "[George Michael] understood black music as the product of a familiarity with death leavened by the banalities of earth: love, sex, comfort. Something was happening that autumn to gay artists closeted from their fans. In October [1990], Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe released Behaviour, the quietest album of the Pet Shop Boys' career. The unceasing piling up of bodies killed by HIV had made, for the moment, the bacchanal into a gauche if not repulsive gesture of sentimentality."[25] According to Soto: "For those of us too young for the plague years—who can imagine, at least, a life lived instead of convulsing in agony on a hospital bed—chastising Michael for leaning on elegies and ballads in 1990 strikes me as glib. In its original form, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was the follow-up that Faith demanded; in this new incarnation, it's a miscellany unruffled by notions of coherence, an attempt to make art out of George Michael's quarrels with himself."[25]

instrumentation and a sombre intensity in many of the lyrics and melodies While the album topped the UK Albums Chart disappointing sales in the United States led to Michael s legal battles against

Release history 10 See also 11 ReferencesProduction editAfter the massive success of George Michael s 1987 album Faith expectations for his follow up album were also high Michael wanted to be taken more seriously as a songwriter 3 which resulted in a more thoughtful often moody recording Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 is largely devoted to ballads and folk styled rock songs although there are a few dance tracks like Freedom 90 and Soul Free There was also a remix of Freedom 90 that incorporated elements of Soul II Soul s Back to Life which was released as a twelve inch single and received a good deal quantify of club play where by whom Like Faith each track was produced and arranged by Michael himself Release editListen Without Prejudice Vol 1 was released in September 1990 The album sold approximately eight million copies worldwide 4 The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 22 and peaked at number two The album spent the rest of 1990 in the top ten with a total of 42 weeks on the entire chart In the United Kingdom the album was a huge success eclipsing sales of Faith Listen Without Prejudice debuted on the UK Albums Chart at number one It stayed at number two for the following two weeks It spent 34 consecutive weeks in the top 20 and jumped from number 13 to number three in its 24th week It spent a total of 88 weeks on the chart and was certified quadruple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry on 2 January 1992 The follow up album Listen Without Prejudice Vol 2 ostensibly scheduled to follow in June 1991 5 was scrapped for reasons known only to Michael and his record company Three of the tracks intended for that album appear on the 1992 charity compilation Red Hot Dance while a fourth Crazyman Dance turned up on the B side of that compilation s first single Too Funky Singles edit The first single from Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 Praying for Time was released in August 1990 reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 Michael s final US number one as a solo artist 6 7 The second single third in the US Waiting for That Day was issued a month after the album s release Owing to a borrowed lyric from The Rolling Stones hit You Can t Always Get What You Want co writer credits were given to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards It reached number 23 in the UK 6 and after being released there in spring 1991 number 27 in the US 7 In the US Mother s Pride the Waiting for That Day B side reached number 46 7 given its subject matter it received considerable airplay on American radio

certification from the Recording Industry Association of America 7 9 It charted lower in Michael s homeland where it peaked at number 28 6 The fourth single Heal the Pain peaked at number 31 in the UK in February 1991 6 The fifth single from Listen Without Prejudice Cowboys and Angels entered the UK Singles Chart in March and peaked at number 45 6 Soul Free was commercially released as the sixth and final single in Australia where it charted at number 95 10 and Japan 11 Michael refused to appear in the music videos for the album s singles Accordingly the video for Praying for Time consisted of the song s lyrics projected onto a dark background while the video for Freedom 90 directed by David Fincher featured several supermodels lip syncing its lyrics and the destruction by fire and explosion of several icons from Michael s recent Faith period Reissue edit Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 was reissued on 20 October 2017 as Listen Without Prejudice MTV Unplugged 12 13 14 The reissue

acclaim reactions from music critics upon release 28 In a rave review for Q Mat Snow commented that the album should prove Michael s talent to any lingering doubters 26 Writing for the Chicago Tribune Greg Kot found that Michael makes a convincing case that he s more than just another pretty voice another disposable pinup particularly complimenting the album s spare sound which he welcomed as a contrast to the more dance leaning music dominating pop radio 21 James Hunter of Rolling Stone said that Listen Without Prejudice generally succeeds in its effort to establish Michael s seriousness and deliver him from caricature 5 Los Angeles Times critic Chris Willman wrote that some self seriousness aside the album is an impressive piece of work in which Michael s rich feel for melodies and instinctively perfect production skills have finally met up with songs that have the ring of personal not commercial passion 23 Stuart Maconie opined in NME that it lacks enough irresponsibility or hooks but conceded that it s hard to begrudge George his coming of age 24 Entertainment Weekly s Greg Sandow was less enthusiastic finding Listen Without Prejudice less vital and fun than Faith and for all its noble sentiment entirely unchallenging 22 In The Village Voice Robert Christgau dismissed it as cocktail music and was unmoved by Michael s reflections on fame saying that they merely indicate that he doesn t know as much about stardom as he thinks 27 Listen Without Prejudice won the award for Best British Album at the 1991 Brit Awards 29 Legacy editListen Without Prejudice Vol 1 was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die 30 In 2003 Slant Magazine s Sal Cinquemani called the album a starkly personal statement that effectively set the artist s professional downfall into motion suggesting that its overall heaviness failed to resonate with listeners expecting uptempo material in the vein of Michael s past work he concluded that the fact that there was never a Vol 2 which was rumored to be the feel good dance record said fans were probably waiting for makes this one seem all the more sacred 1 AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine found the album flawed noting that Michael downplays his gift for effortless hooks and melodies and that his socially conscious lyrics tend to be heavy handed but concluded that its best songs make a case for his talents as a pop craftsman 20 Reviewing the album s 2017 reissue Pitchfork writer Alfred Soto situated Listen Without Prejudice in the context of the then burgeoning HIV AIDS pandemic George Michael understood black music as the product of a familiarity with death leavened by the banalities of earth love sex comfort Something was happening that autumn to gay artists closeted from their fans In October 1990 Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe released Behaviour the quietest album of the Pet Shop Boys career The unceasing piling up of bodies killed by HIV had made for the moment the bacchanal into a gauche if not repulsive gesture of sentimentality 25 According to Soto For those of us too young for the plague years who can imagine at least a life lived instead of convulsing in agony on a hospital bed chastising Michael for leaning on elegies and ballads in 1990 strikes me as glib In its original form Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 was the follow up that Faith demanded in this new incarnation it s a miscellany unruffled by notions of coherence an attempt to make art out of George Michael s quarrels with himself 25 Track listing editAll tracks written and produced by George
