Before Faith became one of the most successful albums of the 1980s, before the leather jacket, the Ray-Bans, and the global superstardom, there was silence.

In this immersive Sleep A Sound episode, we drift inside the creation of Faith — George Michael’s landmark 1987 album — tracing the quiet transformation from pop icon to fully realised artist. Told in a calm, investigative, late-night style, this episode explores the recording process at Puk Studios in Denmark, the long solitary nights behind the mixing desk, and the deliberate choices that reshaped the sound of modern pop.

We unpack the meaning and writing of songs like Faith, One More Try, Father Figure, Kissing a Fool, I Want Your Sex, Monkey, and Hand to Mouth, revealing how George used restraint, silence, and emotional honesty to create an album that still feels timeless decades later.

You’ll hear how Faith climbed the charts, won Grammy Album of the Year, sold over 25 million copies worldwide, and permanently changed the way fans — and the industry — saw George Michael. More importantly, you’ll hear how the process changed him, reshaping his relationship with fame, privacy, and artistic control.

This is not a loud music documentary.
It’s a slow, detailed, forensic journey into creativity, identity, and the quiet rooms where great records are made.

Perfect for falling asleep, unwinding late at night, or simply listening deeply.
