Chris DeMakes A Podcast Throwback Thursday: A discussion on George Michael's "Faith"
This week’s Throwback Thursday episode revisits Episode 118 from August 29th, 2022, where the spotlight is on George Michael’s genre-blending smash hit “Faith.” With its unmistakable Bo Diddley beat, cheeky lyrics, and a leather-jacketed swagger, “Faith” became the second single from Michael’s solo debut and ultimately the #1 Billboard song of 1988. Chris and Chris dig into what made this track so irresistible, exploring its bold musical choices, clever arrangement, and the artistic statement it made as Michael stepped out of Wham!’s shadow and into pop superstardom.
