Freedom! '90

"Freedom '90" was a 1990 hit song for George Michael, from his album Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1. The title "Freedom" is a reference to Michael's attempts to escape from his contract with Sony Music. The title includes "90" to differentiate it from the previous Wham! single "Freedom" (1985).

The video was directed by David Fincher and featured a variety of supermodels including Naomi Campbell, but not George Michael himself. It shows the destruction of icons from the previous "Faith" version of Michael's career, like a guitar and leather jacket.
