New Orders Take on George Michael’s True Faith

According to George Michael covers New Order for Comic Relief:

Former New Order bassist Peter Hook told the BBC Michael’s version was a “beautiful” interpretation but admitted it was “not exactly to my taste”.

According to Hook, the band became friends with the former Wham! singer in the 1980s when they would attend the same parties in the US.

“It’s a very, very George Michael interpretation of the song and it’s beautiful for that,” he said.

“It’s very flattering. George doing True Faith is such a great compliment.

“It blew me away when I heard it. Not exactly to my taste, but it did blow me away.

“I think he’s done a fantastic version and I’m delighted that it’s for such a good cause.”
