The Ones 'Flawless'

Chart Peak: 7

YouTube

Another ubiquitous dance track, so much so I'm surprised it "only" got to Number 7 in the charts. It's "inspired" by the 1999 film of the same name, which group member Nashon Wooden appears in (great name for an actor there!) but the track itself could hardly be more 2001, with its heavily flanged production. It's a style that tends to get wearing to listen to after a while, andthe self-conscious smarminess of the vocal does nobody any favours.

It probably sounds better in a club though. I presume that's where George Michael heard it and decided it'd be improved by dubbing his own vocal over the top to create the rendition which appears on Now 58. Spoiler: it wasn't.
