"Fastlove" is a song by George Michael, released as a single in 1996 by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom and DreamWorks Records in the United States. The song was written by Michael, Patrice Rushen, Freddie Washington and Terri McFaddin with production by Michael and Jon Douglas, and borrows from "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen.
The song received positive reviews from music critics. Commercially, the song topped the charts in six countries: Australia, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and it also reached number one on the Canadian RPM Adult Contemporary chart. It was Michael's seventh and final number-one single in the UK during his lifetime and is his seventh-most downloaded track there, earning him a Gold certification from the British Phonographic Industry. It has sold 465,504 copies in the UK and was nominated for Best Single at the 1997 Brit Awards. In the United States it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Michael his fifteenth top-ten hit and final single to reach the top 100.
The song's music video which directed by Vaughan Arnell and Anthea Benton, was nominated for the video category at the Brit Awards and three MTV Video Music Awards in 1996, eventually won the International Viewer's Choice Award-MTV Europe.
Hey Empress, now we really need to go on a George Michael journey! He's got such a variety of styles over a couple of decades of music! Stay well!
After Madonna, that may be the move. Wasn't expecting the song to be soo 🔥🔥
i love George Michael. One of the best male voices in pop music!
His voice is 💣💣
George Michael is a genius, such a great song.
💯💯💯
This is such a 'hit it and quit it' anthem, and it's smooth as silk. His voice has never been sexier. This was my favourite album of his. What an immense talent. RIP
So smooth💯
😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Gurl. GURL. GUUUUUUURL! This mah boy. Love this song. Underrated album. Thank you, he meant so much 🙏🙏
Voice sooo🔥🔥🔥
This song is so smooth. His voice gets me everytime. I love that you listened without watching music video.(which is impressive too!). His catalog of music is iconic.
Thank u‼️i like listening to the song to follow the structure, pick up on nuisances, and see what the artist was bringing with those vocaaals🤩 often time the imagery of the video distracts from all of that
George had such a voice. Jesus to A Child, Praying For Time and You Have Been Loved are almost impossible for me to listen to without tearing up. So many good memories. Another voice lost forever. 🙏🏼💫💛
Jesus to A Child, Praying For Time and You Have Been Loved - three amazingly beautiful tunes.
Omg‼️ His voice is 💣
and what about "waiting for that day"?
Jesus to a child makes me cry everytime I hear it. So heartfelt and emotive.
YES!!! You made my day once again with some GM! ❤ My favorite male singer & songwriter of all time! 🙌 A fabulous track from an absolutely beautiful album ("Older" is his own personal favorite album, according to interviews he had given shortly before he passed.)
I chuckled when you mentioned the bathroom scandal. 😂 Though this album was written & released several years beforehand - shortly after the love of his life passed away all while he was still in the closet with the media. "Fastlove" was George's message to us that he was not yet ready to emotionally invest in a new relationship.
My personal favorite GM album is "Listen Without Prejudice." That album makes my heart ache. I could go on and on about George, so I'll stop now lol! But if you ever want to go on a George Michael journey, I will be with you for sure!
Have a great weekend and God Bless 😊
Thanks for this context🗣🗣 wow, so this is b4 the scandal and prior to him coming out ‼️ wow plus the love his life died- geez soo much goin on
OMG. I never heard this before. I own the album now. Incredible!!! Thanks E. for giving me my favorite George Michael song and an absolute treasure of an album.
This used to be my audition song I would use many years ago!! ❤️❤️❤️ this song and there will NEVER be another George Michael 🥺 he was something else and that voice could just melt the clothes right off of your back!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ooo can totally see why u would use this song...🔥🔥🔥
Love that bit when u praised his voice 😂❤
His voice is so soulful! He shook me everytime I listen to his voice, my King of Pop. I missed him a lot, I always have a teary eye when he sings to me...
😢😢
"spinning the wheel" is his master piece........being a singer and musician you could really appreciate it on a deeper level
Totally agree. I think Empress will dig the smooth beat.
Fun fact, Jon Douglas, work with George in this song, talk about working with George in this song and the making of this song in a interview in the last days. Jon Douglas work in his own album and was at the same studio has George during this period. One day, he meets George while he was running for the sessions and asked George to sing ''I'm Your Man'' (Wham song) with him, because he was a fan of this song. George did with Jon and to think that, George asked Jon to work in the ''Older'' album. The original concept of ''Fastlove'' was totally different to the final product. This song was originally a bossa Nova and latino song, it's was more at the level of ''Jesus to a Child'', ''The Strangest Thing'' and ''To Be Forgiven'', but it's already have this catchy feel to everybody know. But during the making of this song, finally, George changed his idea and wanted to have a more up-beat vibe to celebrate his life has a boyfriend with Anselmo. So George changed the composition and asked Jon to work to help him to make this song a up-beat track. Jon work the bass and he adding electronic touch at the end of this song. The sax of the final product was in fact the sax used from the original concept. When George changed his composition and making the song a RnB track, he wanted to used the sax recording from the original concept, it's was the only thing used from the original concept to the final product. After that, he enters in George life and work with George for the song ''Outside'' and many songs of ''Patience'' album
omg great background!!
As George Michael became older, his music became more sleek and sexy. You should listen to “Spinning the wheel.“ It’s a masterpiece, Empress!😍😍😍
Yes!
Thanks for the recommendation 😁
I love Spinning the wheel!
Oh yeah, and there's a cute video of Madonna presenting George a VMA award from the late 80s :)
Love that Video, it was after her performance of "Express Yourself", which was fierce as hell!! I think Empress will really enjoy the Madonna era with Nicki and Donna (her backup singers) I can't wait for her to watch "Truth or Dare"
Yes! It was her giving George the Video Vanguard Award. She did a coordinated smoking routine on stage with Nikki and Donna. That wouldn’t fly now adays. Haha.
🆒️ i'll have to watch, when i get to the era
@@EmpressReacts It is classic M!!!
Hes got so many great songs! Dive into his library!!
He def on the considered list
I'm glad you're digging this song. It's got such a great groove. It is about quickies but it's got more depth to it. George Michael lost his partner to AIDS before writing that album, and there's this one line in the bridge that says "I miss my baby"... To me that says why "fast love" is "all that he's got on his mind". While there's nothing wrong with quickies as such, this song is also about heartbreak. I think that depth, while maybe not obvious at first, is reflected in the bluesy saxophone and in his singing. A few years later he would write a song about the same guy that says "please send me someone to love as much as I loved you".
Oh wow‼️i went back and listened to the song and hear exactly what u mean
Perfect song. He samples Send Me Forget Me Nots at the end. RIP.
🔥
He is another artist that I love so much!!! You would love the album "listen without Prejudice" Freedom 90" and Praying for time!! Hightlights.
One of my all time fav albums 😍
@@danielhennessey4282 Mine too!!
Thanks for the recommendations❤
This is my favorite George Michael album. Every track is smooth and comes from his soul. It’s a very personal album. Hopefully you’ll be able to check out more songs off the album. In regards to the sex scandal, he has a great tongue in cheek song and music video on the topic. It’s pretty cool/funny. It’s called, Outside. You should check it out. Thanks Empress!
🙂✌🏻🙂
🤣he made a song about it..wow - will def add to the list
Sticking with the legends! After the bathroom scandal he did a song about it called Outside, the video is funny. Listen Without Prejudice and Older are total classics.
Yes yes yes! Great outside song and video!! George was a force to be reckoned with. And sooooo easy on the eyes 😍😍
🤣wow a song‼️ Too funny
George Michael was unique. Best live voice, wrote and produced his work and secretly pumped his fortune to charities. Only Elvis comes close IMHO. Journey on Empress, love your style.
Thank u‼️ And wow, so good that he gave back
Takes me to the dancefloor,such a fantastic song ❤❤
My Go-To George song. Love love love the Bridge and how he samples Patrice Rushen's Forget Me Nots toward the end. I loved that song long before George came along. Glad you liked it E. Keep 'em coming.
It slaps 💯
Great reaction Empress! George Michael was so incredibly talented. From the catchy pop vibes of his days as one half of the duo "Wham! to his solo career he explored a variety of styles. I am glad to see down below that you are considering going on a George Michael journey. You will not be disappointed. He's great. Take care.
Thank u and yaaas this song is 🔥 🔥.
Digging your reaction. George was a true artist. Good story teller. Keep it up, Empress.
thank u‼️ it was a 🔥 patron's pick
I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to this song a million times, and I’m not going to stop!
Whew… all I’ll say is you’re gonna get a lot of recommendations coming, and he’d be a good journey artist too.
😁thanks ‼️ def on the consider list
such a smooth groove
One of the sexiest male voices out there .So many great hit . Gotta listen to "Amazing" :)
Empress digging the fast love. Great reaction as always
Empress, the music video is super cool. Very groovy futuristic. And George shows off some very sexy moves not seen since his Wham! days.
On the flip side, Adele’s Fast Love tribute to GM will make you flat out ugly cry 😭😭😭 For real.
Dang Adele😢🤣🤣. I would've did the video but i didn't want to go to YT jail🤣
George is the King!!! The video for this is amazing and we need Part 2 x
"Gotta get up to get down"
Love that groove! So chill, too.
So smooth 💣
GREAT VIDEO, LOVE WATCHING YOU DANCE AND COMMENT
👍⚘
Also his duet with Elton John..."Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"
if you love george michael , you must watch his 1992 Too Funky music video 🔥 One of his best dance song. The music video is lit!🔥 strike a pose indeed!
Ooo sounds 🔥🔥 Noted✅
There's a reason this song crossed over to the US R&B charts.
🔥
i LOVE your reaction to the change up in the song. You can really see it caught you off guard!
This album is amazing!!!i love George Michael,you gonna love his MTV Live!XX
Can't wait 🥰
This is such an overlooked song but it is so cool, laid back and full of energy.
🔥🔥
Never heard of this song, but I like this song too
🔥 right
George Michael was so soulful! He wrote all his own songs❤ very talented
I’m so glad you reacted to this! I posted a comment on your Wham reaction that you should check it out and you did! He performed this live in Philly when I saw him a few years back. It was an amazing show!
❤️💔 Ah Gorgeous George (as the UK press called him a little derisively in the 80s). This song is so sexy and smooth, but George was an intelligent songwriter, and there were usually more layers than meet the eye (ear?). This song is from the album he released after having lost his lover to AIDS in the early 90s. The “looking for some affirmation” is about trying to get out there again and have some vivacious experiences to distract from his loss and the oppressive connection between sex and death that was in the minds of most people because of the pandemic, but particularly heavy in the psyches of gay men. The line in the bridge “I miss my baby” is about his loss. On the album the song acts as a counterpoint to the gorgeous ballad Jesus To A Child, which is about his lover’s last days and the tragedy of finally finding someone precious and losing them to the disease... If you want a brilliant sexy pop song from George that’s directly about the scandal (which was years after this) of his “public indecency” arrest, go no further than 🎶Outside🎶. The video to that is also incredible and a very sassy response to the scandal.
Wow‼️ This song really is more than meet the ear💯 and 🤣 he actually made a song about the scandal‼️ adding it to the list
😍
🔥
I love this girl so much
He was one of the best!
The unplugged version is my favorite.
5:34 - 5:37 is legendary and makes me shake my hips every time!!!
🤣 i can see why
Would LOVE to have you react to “Freedom ‘90” by George Michael
Thanks for the recommendation 😀
Listen to Faith first so you get the visual references in Freedom 90
@@GF-pk4uj great idea 😊
I love this Song and Video. By far his best ever. The 90s were an amazing decade for stylish, smooth and sexy R&B. Pretty timeless song imo
Its 🔥 🔥
So glad you're reacting to more George Michael. My all-time fave male vocalist. King of Cool, that voice was so damn smooth. This song was a banger and reached number 1 I believe. Love the "forget me nots" backing vocals too on the outro as well. So good. 😁
Would love to hear you react to GM - Jesus to a child. That song is incredible and will make you cry for sure. Man I wish George was still with us, can only imagine the great music he could be continuing to make.
So smooth 🔥🔥🔥
One of a kind, unique voice. No one could sing like George!
From the album Older which was his masterpiece in my opinion. Just so good. Love and miss you George. Please react to some of his live music. He was so very talented.
Hey, I found your channel by accident and I must say you come across so likeable 🙂. The way you're vibing to the song is adorable 😊.
Ahhh yeah. This songs a bop always loved it. Wait till you see the vid 😍😍. He was so fine! I’ve gushed over him before!! 😌. This song samples forget me nots! I’m not sure you’ve heard that but I’ll bet a million your mom and dad did 😁
Vintage snack for sure😎😍. I would have did the video but i wasn't trying to go to YT jail 🤣
@@EmpressReacts 😂 I hear ya
One of my favorites by GM. This and every song off of the "Listen Without Prejudice" album.
Do you know if you buying the ''Older'' in vinyl? Because it's was released in LP in US (the original album and in box included wit many CD of remixes and the book of the making of the album) in the last days and it's give a another time to rediscover this iconic album (his last successful album in US, one million sold since his released, depist it's not the level of ''Faith''). Also, in the official George Michael channel, the making of the video of ''Fastlove'' was now online. You look the first time George dancing in the shower in the making crazy how it's difficult to dancing in the shower for him. Also, all the videos of the ''Older'' album (''Jesus to a Child'', ''Fastlove''', ''Spinning the Wheel'' and the title track) was now remastered in HD.
Loved your reaction, you really can tell you enjoyed George , i certainly hope that you really look into his music after the Faith period , George really matured as an artist and his work is just incredible .
Hey Empress looks like I'm here with you hopefully for a new journey. I don't know I may be a little late but you have to listen to Listen Without Prejudice album. Girl George is the truth for real .
Not late at all. I have started a George Michael journey. But im strongly considering after Madonna. This was a very 🔥 patron's pick
This is my jam💯
I love this song so much... poignant and sexy and sincere and fun all at the same time...
💯💯🔥
The whole Older album was written after George lost the love of his life, Anselmo. After Anselmo died George really struggled and didn't write any music for nearly 5 years. A couple of the songs on Older are about Anselmo like You Have Been Loved, and particularly Jesus to a Child which is set to a Bossa Nova beat specifically because the Bossa Nova is traditionally a Brazilian rhythm and Anselmo was Brazilian. After George died it was discovered he donated all of the Royalties from Jesus to a Child to a children's charity.
if i told you that by [george michael /whitney houston
😳him and Whitney collab'd‼️
Cowboys and Angels is his best song in my opinion
Girl love your reaction. My mom said back then she and her friends called this the official song for all the playboys out there. Check out his song An Easier Affair . The lyrics is awesome. You'll love it. 💕
love hearing your voice
About that bathroom incident... George Michael was interviewed by Graham Norton (all very cheeky):
GN: “About that wanking in the toilet incident...”
GM: “Which one?”
GN: “Umm... the arresting one”
GM: “Oh, that one. What’s to apologize for? I’m a gay man... to be perfectly honest... it was a lovely park.”
😂😂😂
Truly one of the best male voices of our generation. Legend.
🤣🤣🤣what an answer
He treated it all with a sense of humour and dignity . What a hero. ...plus we got a great song Outside.
LMAO...so true. He was such a gem. I'm 70 and still listen to him. One of the best singers in my lfetime. Don't forget he wrote, produced and performed all these songs. His collaborations were great too, but I must say I liked Whitney, Aretha, Beyonce, but my fav will always be Mary J. Blige.
@@kap6406 As, with Mary J. Blige is my all time favorite. The video is amazing.
@@tomrobinsondc I just read an interview he did with a radio station in 2014. They asked about his favorite singers. George's were Terrance Trent Darby, Aretha, Mary J. Blige, Amy Whinehouse and Lauyren HIll. He wanted to collaborate with Laureyn Hill, but she had just had a baby. I 'll never forget when he left the USA after receiving all the awards (grammys and AMA) for Faith. because African Americans were not happy that a "white boy" won for soul awards, He was up against Michael Jackson and Bobby Brown. I don't think he ever got over that. He said it hurt him really bad, that America is so white/black.
"Fastlove" from 1992.
Love your Reactions Empress Don't forget the amazing video for this fave song from the 90s. This is the ultimate song about hooking up' George has amazing LIVE concert of his hits better than the original tracks, Amazing band and background singers too
Thank u‼️ And dang u know u can sing when the live version better than the record 🤣
You can watch the individual MTV Live unplugged songs of the 2 George tracks you have covered so far. Fast Love and Everything She Wants. Please watch and compare. Please let me know what you think. His two sexiest songs!
Hi Empress , you're really the woman ! George Michael had the project to make un duet with M.J.😍👈👉 (kiss from France)
That would have been 🔥🔥
Ha, I love how this song sort of tripped you up right out of the gate, glad I threw it out there for you. IMO, George had one of the most underrated voices ever. I truly miss his music so I dive around in his catalog a lot just to keep things going. Now on the other side of the coin, you need to check out another similar hit, called "Sunrise" by Simply Red. A great song that I think is truly under-rated IMO. Out of curiosity, have you checked out any Linda Ronstadt songs?
This was a 🔥🔥 patron's pick😎😎. In regards to Linda I've heard a couple:

❤❤❤❤
Another one , after 'everythings...', 'fast love' ...great song too !
George Micheal is one of my favorite artist ..his album "listen without prejudice' is one of my favorite albums of all time... gone way too soon
BIG CLASSIC / BIG RESPECT / OLD SCHOOL REPRESENT / FUCK NEW SKOOL
In the Freedom documentary of 2017, who this autobiogrsphy documentary was turned in 2016 before his death, he talked about this song. This song was written has a perspective to profites the life after the lost of his lover and was very personal. This song, like the rest of the album was about his boyfriend, died of AIDS in 1993. George said in interview to written the album ''Older'' was a therapy for him to faced with the death of Anselmo Feleppa, his boyfriend. He wanted a up-beat vibe to this song to celebrate his life has a lover with Anselmo. This is the reason why this song was one of the rare up-beat RnB of the album. ''Older'' was his most personal album for him and very sad. I buying today the album in occasion in 3$, and this album was a piece of art. Only three RnB up-beat in the album (''Fastlove'', ''Speening The Wheel'' and ''Star People'') the rest was very jazzy and bossa nova music and i understand more the reason ''Jesus to a Child'' was choose has the first single of the album. It's a weird single to released he era, but it's was a perfect song to represent the moody and the sadness of the album. Also, the music video of ''FastLove'' was iconic and was futurist. The video was ahead of his time (came out in 1996) and the prelude of the videos of the end of 90's like ''No Strubs'' by TLC and ''He wasn't Man Enough'' by Toni Braxton.
The best thing to come of that 'scandal' is the song Outside, check it out
Your too funny lol 😂❤💪🏽👊🏽💯 great vid from the uk ❤❤
Thank u ‼️
I love ur grooving!! It’s so satisfying
I don't know why but this was George's last Billboard Hot 100 entry; peaking at #8 in 1996. It's almost like the powers that be wanted him gone from the American music scene. I'm not even sure subsequent singles from this album were released in the states. I never heard them on the radio or saw the music videos on any of the video channels or shows at the time. Even more odd, Top 40 radio, after the song was out for a bit, began only playing it from the bridge onward; cutting the first 3 minutes or so of the song. We, in America, didn't hear a peep from George until the bathroom scandal which was a big deal with the media. In today's day and age, the publicity probably would've help his career but that was not the case then. His mainstream pop career, stateside, was over.
OH WOW! thanx for this info. I read Mariah's book and she briefly mentioned how him and her first ex hubby were beefing. So maybe Tommy is responsible for this phase out and crazy how radio cut the song about 75%!
''Spinning the Wheel'' and ''Star People'' was released in US, but wasn't huge hit. ''Star People'' was a hit in the club (n.1 in the dance clubs) but not charted in US. ''Fastlove'' received a lot of airplay in radios and MTV when it came out and was his last huge hit in US.
There is a another video where he is singing.
Mixed Patrice Rushen to the track. I listen to his music everyday.
The original Justin Timberlake! George Michael/Wham journey Empress! Everything She Wants from MTV Unplugged... Church!!!
Ah, JT does give me these vibes, but his voice not touching George's 🤣🤣
Sending you forget me nots, to help to remember
Baby please forget me not
This whole song is pure 🔥🔥🔥 great pick 💯
@@EmpressReacts this wasn’t my pick but I love all things George and saw him live twice. My first comment is the sample he used and you hear in the background by Patrice Rusher called Remind Me from 1982
Great song for a great reaction! You might want to check out Patrice Rushen's early 80s hit "Forget Me Nots," which he borrows for this song.
Thank u‼️ And noted ✅
Empress,... please notice the forget me nots by Patrice rushen
🤣everyone is mentioning that song so much i had to listen to it‼️ now i see where the R&B vibe is coming from
Empress, the Video for "freedom 90" features the original Supermodels (Christy Turlington, Naomi, Linda E , Cindy Crawford and Tatiana) !!! It's a classic.
Im always here for Naomi 😍
He looks so fine in the video too‼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤
Okey
I just love you. Do you know Sam and the womp ... Bom Bom. You'd like it.
Thank u‼️ And nooe never heard of it
This is a cool song that I do not remember. I enjoy your reactions, you should have far more subscribers. I'm going to recommend a family member subscribe to your channel.
