专辑回顾- “We Are More Than One”
出色的原创专辑 “We Are More Than One” -2021
The most recent effort from Michael was the most popular according to the Facebook poll, but while that may be due it being new and fresh for fans, it’s more likely down to the collection of excellent material. After previously trying his hand at writing some originals with well chosen collaborators, We Are More Than One sees Michael putting out an album of almost entirely new songs.
The optimism of ‘Be The One’ and ‘God Willing’ juxtapose wonderfully alongside the gut-wrenching ‘Never Let You Go’ and ‘Is That All Folks’, the latter being a heartfelt tribute to his friend Victoria Wood. There’s also reflective fare in the form of ‘Simple Complicated Man’ and sheer unadulterated fun via the disco-flavoured ‘Home With You’ and infectious ‘Let’s Just Dance’.
Michael shows off some excellent wordplay in ‘The Song We Will Remember’ and offers wise words with ‘Be Gentle’. There are just three cover versions here, spanning the Bee Gees penned classic ‘Heartbreaker’, a superb take on Beverley Craven’s ‘Promise Me’ and an inspired duet with one of the album’s co-writers, Amy Wadge, who joins Michael for a delightful rendition of the Bob Seger standout ‘We’ve Got Tonight’.
根据Facebook的投票结果，迈克尔最近的努力是最受欢迎的，尽管这可能是因为对粉丝来说是新鲜的原因，但更可能是因为其中的出色的歌曲集合。在之前尝试与精心选择的合作者创作一些原创作品之后，《We Are More Than One》让迈克尔发布了一张几乎完全由新歌组成的专辑。
《Be The One》和《God Willing》的乐观与《Never Let You Go》和《Is That All Folks》的令人心碎形成了美妙的对比，后两者中的《Is That All Folks》是对他的朋友维多利亚·伍德（Victoria Wood）的衷心致敬。还有一些反思性的歌曲，如《Simple Complicated Man》，以及通过迪斯科风格的《Home With You》和感染力十足的《Let’s Just Dance》提供了纯粹的乐趣。
迈克尔在《The Song We Will Remember》中展现出一些出色的歌词技巧，并在《Be Gentle》中提供了明智的话语。在这里只有三首翻唱歌曲，包括由Bee Gees创作的经典《Heartbreaker》，Beverley Craven的《Promise Me》出色的翻唱，以及与专辑的一位共同创作者之一Amy Wadge合作的灵感翻唱，Amy Wadge与迈克尔一同演唱了Bob Seger的杰出歌曲《We’ve Got Tonight》。
