The British pop icon also touches on religion with the sparsely arranged "John and Elvis Are Dead," which finds him questioning Christ's existence. Despite the somber subject matter on many of the aforementioned songs and the gorgeously rendered ... Full Descriptiontitle cut, Michael can still turn out dance-inspired fare. "Flawless (Go to the City)" features the kind of thumping beats you'd expect to hear at a velvet-rope club, and "Freeek! '04" slows down the tempo while displaying a carnal frankness on par with "I Want Your Sex."
2004's PATIENCE finds George Michael attempting to transcend his tabloid notoriety with pure musical prowess. Remarkably enough, Michael achieves this feat with a batch of songs that reaffirms the notion that artists sometimes get their best material from unsettling personal experiences. Loss plays a big part in many of these songs, whether it's the sparse piano ballad "My Mother Had a Brother" (about an uncle who killed himself in despondency over his own homosexuality) or the mid-tempo, Latin-tinged "Please Send Me Someone (Anselmo's Song)" (about an ex-lover who died of AIDS).
Personnel: George Michael (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards, bass guitar, drum programming); Michael Brown, Phil Palmer (guitar); Chris Cameron (piano); Luke Smith (Wurlitzer piano); David Austin, Pete Gleadall, Ruadhri Cushnan (keyboards, programming); Johnny Douglas, James Jackman (keyboards, drum programming); Graham Silbiger (bass guitar); Jo Bryant (background vocals).
Q (4/04, p.104) - 4 stars out of 5 - "It is by turns funny, dark, ridiculous, exhilarating, and - most strikingly of all - relentlessly personal."
Mojo (Publisher) (4/04, p.103) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[A]n oddly experimental record, prioritising texture over tune and betraying a river-deep confessional streak....A record of conviction..."

George Michael Patience Songs Patience Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Precious
Precious Box seems to be the only winner on this set. Wish there was an extended play of it. Get it for that song and maybe the rest will grow on you.

A great and poignant effort
I must admit, I am not a hardcore George Michael fan, but this is definately a worthwhile CD. There are many different feelings pent up in here. He manages to cover so many styles of music and lyrics and there are times when you have to ask, "this is George Michael?!" I was impressed with his ability to get his point across without being so outwardly blatent, as in his song "Outside". There is even a picture of his beau inside (although camera shake blurs it a bit!) All in all I would recommend this CD as a great and poignant effort for him.

Haven't heard any of his songs in quite a while, this must be good.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Amazing
George Michael is the one artist who could sing the Dictionary, or a phone book and it would sound great. One of the best voices in the business. This album shows off his vocals, it has not classic song like "TOO FUNKY" or "FREEDOM" no big beat song, but the album pays off. Shoot the dog is missing from the US version, which is to bad, the song is choice, the falsetto makes the song. Good CD. His best since LWOP. Not saying much, but its a quality album.

Purchase Patience CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | George Michael Songs From The Last Century CD (1999)
Patience album
 $14.99  
SONGS FROM THE LAST CENTURY was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Whatever you want to say about the ubiquitous George Michael, you can't brand him as lacking in the confidence department. It somehow isn't surprising that he would take it upon himself to capture the legacy of the past hundred years on SONGS FROM THE LAST CENTURY. What is surprising are the unique choices--this isn't a standard set of standards. ...

| | Norah Jones Come Away With Me CD (2002) SACD Hybrid
Patience album
$13.99
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical).
"Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical).
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, delicate, and beautiful arrangements.
But the centerpiece is certainly the 22-year-old's confident-beyond-her-years vocal delivery in addition to a precise diction and velvety tone. Shades of Nina ...

Patience CD music
$16.95
Unlike the group's more "mature" '90s offerings, 2004's ASTRONAUT eschews "adult alternative" trappings in favor of a return to their earlier bold, fun-loving sound, a move that couldn't have been better timed, considering the concurrent '80s-revival craze. Accordingly, Nick Rhodes's synthesizers buzz and zoom with reckless abandon, providing bright color and underlining ...
