George Michael – Songs From The Last Century
Released in 1999, Songs From The Last Century finds George Michael stepping away from conventional pop songwriting to interpret standards and carefully chosen twentieth-century songs. The restrained arrangements leave room for the phrasing, control and emotional detail of one of his most expressive vocal performances.
The programme moves naturally between jazz standards, torch songs and modern compositions treated with the same elegant, late-night atmosphere. Rather than functioning as a conventional greatest-hits collection, the album reveals George Michael as an attentive interpreter with a deep understanding of melody and vocal nuance.
