Make no mistake, this album is a true masterpiece from probably the greatest songwriter to have walked this earth. After waiting many years, I can see where the time has gone - into incredible writing, producing and performance. This album is an experience all to itself. The way George articulates his pain and joy through the most unbelievable vocals he's delivered brought me to tears often.

During November 1994, after a long period of seclusion, Michael appeared at the first MTV Europe Music Awards show, where he gave a performance of a new song, " Jesus to a Child". [90] The song was a melancholy tribute to his lover, Anselmo Feleppa, who had died in March 1993. The song entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 1 and No. 7 on Billboard upon release in 1996. [13] [14] It was Michael's longest UK Top 40 single, at almost seven minutes long. The exact identity of the song's subject—and the nature of Michael's relationship with Feleppa—was shrouded in innuendo and speculation, as Michael had not confirmed he was homosexual and did not do so until 1998. The video for "Jesus to a Child" was a picture of images recalling loss, pain and suffering. Michael consistently dedicated the song to Feleppa before performing it live.

The album is good, but not exactly his best. On average, the songs are very listenable but none are exactly amazing. I can't see there being any number one singles from it. If we feel that we’ve been put through the emotional wringer by that then there’s a little respite on the acoustic string-laden ballad Something To Save, equally introspective but with a little lighter touch. The video for Father Figure may have depicted Michael in a relationship with a woman, but the song’s lyrics told a more complex story: “Sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime.” Meanwhile, the shift from the hushed longing of the verses to the explosive, gospel-inspired chorus is just fabulous. 7.
