Review: Malcolm McLaren, probaly best known for managing the New York Dolls and the Sex Pistols, left a significant mark on pop culture as a writer, musician, and fashion designer.

The reissue coincides with the upcoming Paris Olympic Games, where the lead track 'Paris Paris' featuring Catherine Deneuve has been officially adopted and is expected to gain widespread attention. The album also includes collaborations with Francoise Hardy and Amina, making it a notable showcase of McLaren's eclectic artistry.

Review: When it was first released, George Michael's Older was something of a shock to those who were used to his chart-topping hits of yore. Certainly, 1990's Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was a mature and expansive album from one of pop's brightest talents, but six years later Older took a moodier turn on tracks like 'Jesus To A Child' and 'Spinning The Wheel'. There are of course some big bangers too, from the slinky funk of 'Fastlove' to 'Star People', but this was a turning point in Michael's career which finally delivered the creative freedom he'd always so vically called out for. This expansive special edition of the album comes with additional edits, remixes and unreleased tracks to complete the picture for a landmark slice of British pop music.

Review: Listen Without Prejudice is George Michael's introspective masterpiece. It has been newly remastered by Sony for this release and plots his evolution as a musician and also a lyricist. Released in 1990, the album delves into his signature themes of love, identity, and societal issues with raw honesty and vulnerability. Michael's velvety vocals glide effortlessly over soulful melodies and intricate arrangements and tracks like 'Freedom! '90' and 'Praying for Time' still cut through as they did almost 35 years ago. The album as a whole serves as a poignant reminder to approach life and relationships with an open mind and heart. RIP to a real one.
