Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 is the second solo studio album by the English singer George Michael, originally released on 3 September 1990. The album was Michael’s final album of all-new material on Columbia Records until 2004’s Patience. After the massive success of Michael’s 1987 Faith album, the expectations for his follow-up album were also high. In September 1990, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was a stark departure from the previous LP, with largely acoustic instrumentation and a somber intensity in many of the lyrics and melodies. George Michael wanted to be taken more seriously as a songwriter, which resulted in a more thoughtful, often moody recording. The album peaked at #2 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
In a career which spanned 35 years, George Michael gave the world the ultimate pop experience with Wham! before going solo and becoming a global superstar. He has sold over 115 million albums worldwide and amassed a series of awards and number 1 albums and singles. After the massive success of his first solo album, 1987’s Faith, George unveiled his second solo album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, in September 1990. Featuring the singles «Praying For Time», «Waiting For That Day», «Freedom! ’90», «Heal The Pain» and «Cowboys And Angels», this ground-breaking album has been remastered for its 25th anniversary and features the iconic artwork from the original vinyl.
