Before Life Thru a Lens was released, Williams released a single that was a remake of George Michael's "Freedom." According to an interview snippet present on the single, this was largely because he felt he could relate to the song's lyrics, and also to some degree as a tribute to George Michael himself, a great singer-songwriter.
Williams has good taste in music, and he picked a song that he could perform adequately. It doesn't surpass Michael's version, nor is it one of the top releases in Williams's catalogue, but it was meant to be neither of those things; rather, it was intended to send a message, and this it does well. My favourite of the included versions is the Arthur Baker mix, which adds a bit of flair to the track. Overall, it's a good rendition of excellent material as performed by an amazing artist.
