Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Older is the third solo studio album by George Michael, which was released in 1996, distributed by Virgin Records in Europe and DreamWorks Records in the United States. It features the hits "Jesus To A Child" and "Fastlove".A largely serious, sombre affair tinged with melancholic and sometimes jazzy notes, recorded in the wake of Michael's legal battle with his record company Sony and the death from AIDS of his lover Anselmo Feleppa, Older was released after a six-year wait and received relatively lukewarmly in North America. However it was a huge European commercial success and became the first — and still only — record in British chart history to contain six Top 3 singles: "Jesus To A Child" (#1), "Fastlove" (#1), "Spinning The Wheel" (#2), the double A-side "Older"/"I Can't Make You Love Me"note (the latter a non-album track) (#3), a remixed "Star People '97" (#2) and "You Have Been Loved" (#2). This long string, released over 20 months, helped it become his longest-charting (over 100 weeks) and highest-selling (6x platinum) studio album there.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Tracklist: "Jesus To A Child" "Fastlove" "Older" "Spinning The Wheel" "It Doesn't Really Matter" "The Strangest Thing" "To Be Forgiven" "Move On" "Star People" "You Have Been Loved" "Free"In late 1997, 18 months after first release, came a 2-disc reissue packaged with the more upbeat mini-album Upper:Upper tracklist: "Fastlove (Part II)" [b-side to "Fastlove" single] "Spinning The Wheel (Forthright Mix)" [b-side to "Spinning The Wheel" single] "Star People '97" [single rerecording/remix] "The Strangest Thing '97" [rerecording/remix from "You Have Been Loved" EP single] "You Know That I Want To" [b-side to "Spinning The Wheel" single] "Safe" [b-side to "Spinning The Wheel" single] | |

Lyrical Cold Open: The album version of "Fastlove" begins with "Got to get up to get down" at the very start of the song. Also "Star People". | |

Take That!: The man in the video for "Fastlove" wearing headphones that are labeled FONY — a not-so-subtle jab at George's at-the-time former record label Sony. | |

Grief Song | |
| Older (Music) / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: "Jesus To A Child" and "You Have Been Loved", which are both written for his lover Anselmo Feleppa, who died in March 1993. The latter song was unintentionally repurposed as one for Princess Diana of Wales at the time of her passing in 1997, when it charted at no.2 behind Elton John's rerecording of "Candle In The Wind". | |
