In 2019, just as the rumors suggested, an album titled “A Place We Knew” was released, and this song is included on it.

“Careless Whisper” is a masterpiece whose beautiful saxophone melody stirs the heart, while George Michael’s refined, translucent vocals are gentle and tender, leaving listeners achingly moved.
A worldwide hit in 1985, the song was written by George when he was just 17, on a bus on his way to a part-time job, showcasing the richness of his delicate, highly tuned sensibilities.
Are You Gonna Be My GirlJet
This is Jet’s cool rock ’n’ roll number, familiar from Japanese commercials and more.
It kicks off with a badass guitar riff and rides an infectious, up-tempo groove.
The high-energy vocals really elevate the track.
It stands out as one of the top songs of the rock ’n’ roll revival.
When a Man Loves a WomanMichael Bolton
Michael Bolton is a remarkable artist with the kind of charisma that can instantly transform a venue into a serious, electrifying atmosphere the moment he steps on stage.
Sung with a lustrous, soaring vocal power, ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’ is an incredibly cool song that brims with Bolton’s appeal.
My Friends Over YouNew Found Glory
This is a track by New Found Glory that treats you to poppy, feel-good punk rock.
From the intro, it’s such an upbeat, high-energy song that you can’t help but want to jump, and the explosive chorus is irresistibly exhilarating and cool.

If there’s a kid who wants to start a band—wants to play punk rock—this is the first band and song I’d teach them.
This is what a cool band and a cool song are supposed to be—like a textbook example.

An eternal punk band—that’s the kind of tagline that suits them.
