Customer Reviews

A disappointing launch for the tour
Let me get this, erm...straight, I am a truely devoted George Michael fan and have been a serious collector since 1983. However, I have been somewhat disappointed with his recent direction in music. AN EASIER AFFAIR is by no means rubbish, but it pales in comparison to other fine works of upbeat art such as FASTLOVE and OUTSIDE. Its introduction is reminiscent of those old dodgy adult film soundtracks from the 1970s, and then it treads lightly into AMAZING territory before sweeping into a half-decent chorus which really needs a bit more punch to it to make it memorable. The song has grown on me somewhat over the past few weeks, but if it heralds some new music on the forthcoming anticipated '25' hits album and tour, then I honestly despair (but I'll never give up on him!).

Melody?
Sadly, this single is the final proof that George Michael has lost it. He hasn't made a really good album since 'Listen Without Prejudice', but he has still come up with the odd decent single in the intervening years. This record is so bland that I forgot it seconds after it finished. There's no sign of any tune, and the 'loud and proud' lyrics are somewhat ridiculous since he spent many years desperately keeping the closet doors firmly shut.

What a perfect tune from a perfectionist
Well...I don't really know what to say other than, firstly to thank George for releasing such a great track. His voice and melody really match the power of the lyrics. Well done, George.

Now I am looking forward to buy a DVD of this track. Please George release the collection of your all new videos after L&G GHs.

What a pitty that I just can not find any George stuff here in Canada, especially, in Winnipeg. But nothing I can do other than to pay the import price.

I would also like to buy vinyle of An Easier Affair when its available.
