London Town by Wings
London Town is the sixth studio album by the band Wings, released in 1978. Recording the album was a long and tumultuous project which saw the loss of two band members, the birth of a baby and the release of the then best-selling single in British history. Wings band member Denny Laine covered "Children Children" and "Deliver Your Children" in 2007 on his album Performs the Hits of Wings.
By 1990, pop phenomenon-turned-solo megastar George Michael was ready to reveal more of his introspection and social conscience. <i>Listen Without Prejudice</i> is an intimate and beautiful album that employs aching balladry to despair for a conflict-torn world (“Praying for Time”, “Mothers Pride”) and fuses hushed folk with James Brown to mourn lost love (“Waiting for That Day”). Even the gloriously uplifting gospel-dance sound of “Freedom! ’90” houses a cautionary tale about fame’s soul-sapping effects. Leaning largely on his 1996 album <i>Older</i>, the stripped-back <i>MTV Unplugged</i> section of this remastering emphasises what an arrestingly soulful singer and songwriter Michael was.
