Theme & Lyrics ✍

“I’ll be your sexual freak, of the week / I’ll be your inspirational brother (sister), yo momma can’t you see.” George Michael was one of pop’s very best.  The total package, he had a fantastic voice and dashing good looks.  Sadly, the 🏆 Grammy-winning icon was one of many music celebrity casualties in 2016, dying at the young age of 53.  Despite his untimely passing, Michael left an epic catalog, including the incredibly naughty, AFTER DARK gem at hand, “Freeek! 04.” The 12^th track on his comeback album, 💿 Patience (arrived in the U.S. in 2004), Michael isn’t the least bit family friendly, even though he makes the declaration, “Come on kids, don’t be scared / It’s a tits and ass world you gotta be prepared.” Woo! Sex is the modus operandi, and George is willing to be the, um, naughty teacher if you will: “I’ll be your educational lover, your one-fuck fantasy.” Ooh wee – the temperature is rising!

Risqué and unapologetic, George’s relationship with sex is pronounced here.  He references booty, masturbation (“You shoot off, it saves you time”) and of course, the steamy sexual rendezvous. There are a number of titillating one-liners including “You got yourself an ass with a mind of its own,” “Faces in places where the sun don’t shine,” and the potent, “I think I need to re-booty.” George sounds amazing and infuses plenty of personality, selling the sex superbly. Adding to the sublime nature is the minor key, further amplifying the naughtiness.  There’s also electrifying production work by Michael, 🎛 Ruadhri Cushnan, 🎛 Niall Flynn, and 🎛 James Jackson.  Worth noting, there are a couple of samples in play: Aaliyah (🎵 “Try Again”) and Q-Tip (🎵 “Breathe and Stop”).

Final Thoughts 💭

George Michael is bold AF on “Freeek! 04” and I live for it.  There’s no way you leave listening to this slick pop joint, and your mind isn’t in the gutter.  No, it’s not refined.  No, there’s no substance.  Still, there’s sex, and who doesn’t enjoy some fun AFTER DARK 🍆 🍑?
