This is a really good article on the recording process of George Michael, from an interview with Chris Porter. Porter worked with Michael from the days of Wham! until “Jesus to a Child.”
The article talked about:
- How George doesn’t do demos, but “had most of the song written in his head”
- How they recorded Careless Whisper and the number of sax players they went through
- Recording at Sarm West, London for the Edge Of Heaven compilation
- Recording at Puk Studios in Denmark for ‘Faith’
- The musical and creative process of recording ‘Faith’
