Arrangers: George Michael; Niall Flynn; James Jackman; Ruadhri Cushnan. 2004's PATIENCE finds George Michael attempting to transcend his tabloid notoriety with pure musical prowess. Remarkably enough, Michael achieves this feat with a batch of songs that reaffirms the notion that artists sometimes get their best material from unsettling personal experiences. Loss plays a big part in many of these songs, whether it's the sparse piano ballad "My Mother Had a Brother" (about an uncle who killed himself in despondency over his own homosexuality) or the mid-tempo, Latin-tinged "Please Send Me Someone (Anselmo's Song)" (about an ex-lover who died of AIDS). The British pop icon also touches on religion with the sparsely arranged "John and Elvis Are Dead," which finds him questioning Christ's existence. Despite the somber subject matter on many of the aforementioned songs and the gorgeously rendered title cut, Michael can still turn out dance-inspired fare. "Flawless (Go to the City)" features the kind of thumping beats you'd expect to hear at a velvet-rope club, and "Freeek! '04" slows down the tempo while displaying a carnal frankness on par with "I Want Your Sex."

まさかここまで素晴らしいとは……ジョージ・マイコー、完全復活! 実に8年ぶりとなるオリジナル・アルバムです。ピアノの弾き語りで真摯に歌い上げるタイトル曲“Patience”(=忍耐)でオープニングとラストに蓋をした、彼の決意表明のような一大コンセプト作品。しかし儚くも美しく、時にしなやかに躍動する楽曲には何のけれんみも無く、ただただ心の琴線を撫で続ける実に感動的な大作! 次はこんなに待たせないでね。
