A Fastlove című dal George Michael brit popénekes dala, amely 1996-ban jelent meg a Virgin Records kiadásában az Egyesült Királyságban és a Dreamworks Records kiadásban az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban.
Történet
[szerkesztés]The song was the second of six singles to be taken from George's comeback album Older, which was his first studio album in six years and only the third of his solo career. "Fastlove" was an energetic tune about the need for gratification and fulfillment without concern for commitment.
A Fastlove az Older című visszatérő albumának hat kislemeze közül másodikként jelent meg. Az Older hat év szünet után követte az előző stúdióalbumot.
A re-sung but otherwise identical chorus of the Patrice Rushen hit "Forget Me Nots", performed by Irish-British pop singer Siobhan Fahey (who also appears in the music video[forrás?]), was used about 70% of the way through, although no co-writing credit was initially given. This problem was rectified in the liner notes of Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael.
Michael wrote the song based on a brief love affair with city banker Brett Charles whom he met in Kazakhstan while writing songs for the album.
Videoklip
[szerkesztés]The music video begins with a flickering virtual reality image of a woman on a bed followed by a man sitting in a black chair using a high-tech remote control device to "flip" through a variety of sexually virtual reality characters. George Michael appears in the black chair, which is equipped with speakers. At one point one of the dancers is shown wearing headphones displaying the word 'FONY' in the style of the Sony corporate logo, a reference to the contractual dispute Michael was having at the time with the Sony record label to which he was signed. Throughout the video, there is a variety of men and women (who display a spectrum of characteristics, including one who is shy, another who is lustful, and another who is a complete emotional wreck) sitting in the chair and using the remote control to summon more sexual characters. As the video ends, George Michael is seen dancing while water rains down on him. The video ends with the same flickering virtual reality image that introduces to the video.
