Review
Alright, let's dive into Wham!'s 'Make It Big' - this album is like a party in a jewel case! George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley really cranked up the fun factor on this one, serving up a delicious platter of pop-soul goodness that'll have you grooving from start to finish.
You've got the irresistibly catchy 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' that'll make you want to jump out of bed and dance your socks off, even if you're not a morning person. Then there's 'Freedom,' which is basically Wham!'s love letter to Motown, wrapped up in their signature 80s sparkle. But don't think it's all fluff and no substance - 'Everything She Wants' digs a little deeper, with George exploring the whole marriage expectations thing over some seriously slick synths.
Now, we can't talk about 'Make It Big' without mentioning 'Careless Whisper.' That sax riff is so iconic, it practically screams "1980s" louder than neon leg warmers. It's crazy to think George wrote this heart-wrencher when he was just a teen! This album really shows Wham! at the top of their game, blending pop, soul, and new wave into something truly special. No wonder it hit number one on both sides of the pond! - Milo
