George Michael's birthday on June 26. First, "Father Figure" releases on Friday June 14, (also prior to Father's Day, Sunday June 16). "Freedom! 2019" releases on Friday June 21. For "Father Figure", Holmeswood brings a techno EDM spin to the 1987 chart topping ballad. "Freedom! '90" gets a 2019 EDM House music reinterpretation with a faster BPM making it very summer dance floor rave ready.
Originally written by
George Michael, "Father Figure" was the 4th single released from his 1987 chart topping debut solo album "
Faith". Also written by
George Michael, "Freedom! 90" was one of his most successful songs released in 1990 which also featured the iconic music video starring supermodels of the 1990s Naomi Campbell,
Linda Evangelista,
Tatiana Patitz, Christy Turlington, and Cindy Crawford. For both "Father Figure" and "Freedom! '90", Holmeswood collaborated with his longtime music production team; Argentinian pianist / composer / producer Dario Boente (Antonio Sanchez, Ronny Jordan, Fernando Otero, Joshua Thompson,
Pablo Aslan, Mark Whitfield and others); with vocals recorded by and co-produced with Eric Jayk (Sandra Bernhard's Rock Band and her off-Broadway Show, "Everything Bad, & Beautiful", Wildstreet, Astra The 22s, and others).
Christopher Wood Holmes (a.k.a. 'Holmeswood'), is an American pop-rock singer/songwriter, actor, artist, director and producer.
