George Michael. Faith (2 LP)

Few albums have defined an era and redefined a generation of pop music quite like FAITH, George Michael’s groundbreaking 1987 debut solo album. Nearly four decades later, its influence continues to resonate across music, fashion, and culture, an enduring testament to the artistry, courage, and creative vision of one of the world’s most beloved and successful performers. To celebrate its continued impact and influence, George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music have announced that on 20th February 2026, multiple limited-edition FAITH vinyl variants will be available on Red + Black Marble vinyl,as well as 1LP and 2LP black vinyl. More than a decade since FAITH has been available to purchase in vinyl anywhere in the world, today’s announcement marks an exciting new era for any avid vinyl collector and George Michael fan. Written, arranged, produced, and performed almost entirely by George Michael, FAITH marked the emergence of a new type of pop icon, an artist capable of blending soul, R&B, and rock into a sleek, emotionally charged, and deeply personal sound. The album catapulted the then 24-year-old artist to global superstardom, outselling Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince, and earning him a GRAMMY® Award for Album of the Year, three American Music Awards and a record-breaking run of four U.S. No. 1 singles, including “Faith,” “Father Figure,” “One More Try,” and “Monkey.” All of which makes George the only British male solo artist ever to achieve four U.S. number-one singles from a single album on the Billboard Hot 100, a record that remains unmatched. FAITH has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, topping charts in over 10 countries, and cementing George Michael as one of the best-selling British solo artists of all time. Emerging as a defining anthem of its era, its title track with its instantly recognizable guitar riff and iconic leather-jacket-clad video became a cultural touchstone of the late ’80s, inspiring countless artists and defining the MTV generation. Beyond its commercial triumphs, FAITH was a bold artistic statement. It showcased George Michael’s exceptional songwriting, vocal prowess, and meticulous production; a creative tour de force that challenged genre boundaries and redefined what a pop album could be. From the sensual introspection of “Father Figure” to the gospel-tinged power of “One More Try,” every track remains a masterclass in emotion and craftsmanship. As the world continues to rediscover George Michael’s genius, FAITH stands as a monument to his brilliance, a timeless reminder that true artistry transcends decades. Today, its spirit lives on in the voices of artists inspired by his honesty, style, and unwavering individuality.
