Synopsis

Product Description
In a remarkable career that spans more than two decades, Seal has garnered countless accolades along with three Grammy Awards and has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide. Known for his one-of-a-kind soaring, husky baritone voice and classic songwriting, Seal has seen success across numerous genres of music. His emotional, romantic love songs, such as 'Prayer For the Dying,' the Grammy Award-winning 'Kiss From A Rose,' and 'Don't Cry' (all from 1994's Seal II), and 'Love's Divine' (from 2003's Seal IV), delighted fans and earned him critical acclaim. But Seal has also seen great success in the dance/pop music world beginning with his roots in Britain's house music/rave scene. Early in his career he scored two hits with legendary producer Trevor Horn, 1990's 'Killer' (with techno artist Adamski) and 1991's U.S. Top Ten single 'Crazy,' from his eponymous debut album - a genre-defying fusion of soul, pop, rock, R&B, and propulsive grooves that announced the arrival of an innovative new talent. His fifth studio album in 2007, System was a nod to those roots with shimmering melodies, glistening layers of synths and acoustic guitar, and up-tempo electronic beats. Now the London-born Seal is preparing to release his sixth studio album, what many consider the tour-de-force of his career. Produced by renowned music maestro David Foster, SOUL, due in November from Warner Bros. Records is a stunning compilation of the best classic soul songs ever created, with Seal's unique, signature touch. The songs each evoke an era when soul music vividly captured emotion, drama and romance. Seal has said, 'What I care about now is the same thing I cared about in the beginning of my career, which is songs.

CD Reviews

This should have been released domestically...not the CD/DVD
Larry Davis | NYC/Long Island, NY | 12/17/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Why why why????? I never received any word about it, nothing!! Being it was an import, it wasn't advertised in BestBuy with the single disc...if it was domestic, guaranteed, people would have been interested, oh yes...many people still do not shop online, so they were not aware...



This version is perfect in my eyes...the single disc is lacking, no better than his first singles collection from 5 years ago...the CD/DVD is no better and overpriced...if anything, the DVD "Soul Live" should be available either domestically or as a bonus DVD in his "Soul" album as a deluxe version, as it is prob worthy.



So really, Warners blew it here...the US releases should have been the single disc for the casual fan and this 2CD set for the more hardcore/completist fan...not even releasing it in the US does a disservice to Seal's US fans who are more than casual, who want a really good anthology, and this is the one.



Boo, Warners."
