Seal

From: $1.99

A far deeper, more enduring outing than his spectacular 1991 debut. Producer Trevor Horn calls on a cast of dozens (including Joni Mitchell who duets on the lovely "If I Could" and the ubiquitous Jeff Beck) and channels his famous, over-the-top tendencies into a sumptious bed of sound that makes Tears for Fears sound minimal. Soulful first single "Prayer for the Dying" will set the pace, while "Kiss From A Rose" is a huge ballad. --Jeff Bateman

From: Amazon Posted: May 02, 2007 Type: User Review Couldn't Get It Out of My Head

One morning last month, I woke up and couldn't get "Kiss From a Rose" out of my head. Two days later, I went out and bought it. I'm so mad I didn't get it when it first came out. I knew about Seal, and I heard his music, but I didn't own any of...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 16, 2006 Type: User Review A heartfelt, emotional, and all-around wonderful album

I discovered Seal the same way that most people did: through his utterly beautiful song "Kiss From A Rose". I heard it on the radio one day, and played it constantly for months after that until I finally decided to purchase the album the song was...

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 29, 2006 Type: User Review Its more then just "Knockin Boots" Music

Seals self titled release might immediatly get labeled Soft FM Hits radio or Bump N Grind (between the sheets) material, but it is much stronger then that. Seal takes soft Rock/RnB to the next level, and gives us a truely remarkable record, which...

I first had this on tape when it first came out in 1994. I love it, its a great album and the best in my collection. Tape is obsolete now so I had to get it on CD. Seal is amazing because he spends a lot of time on his work and it shows. Kiss from...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 27, 2005 Type: User Review More than ten years gone by... and still holding on strong

After more than a decade since its release, Seal's second album still retains that fiber that defines timeless musical works. His voice breathes life into 11 songs that blend the highest production values with lyrics that resonate today as...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 02, 2005 Type: User Review A note to hi-fi anoraks out there...

Over the years I have used this album as THE REFERENCE for testing audio systems. I thought its production values so superior to the competition at the time that it would always be the first CD out of the box!
The real trouble with it is...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 21, 2005 Type: User Review Seal is a genius! This CD is FLAWLESS!

Seal's second album is a masterpiece! I remember listening to Seal's first release in 1991 at age 12. I wasn't really a music fan back then but I thought the album was great. Songs like Crazy and Killer stood out for me especially since their...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 05, 2005 Type: User Review This Album Is Spectacular!

Everyone needs some Seal in their collection. This is a great place to start. I first got into Seal music when I heard Kiss From A Rose in the movie Batman Forever. I was hooked, and I wanted more. I found more in this album. Much more. If...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 14, 2005 Type: User Review Quite a few steps above mainstream pop.

"Kiss from a Rose." Yes, it's been played to death, but for heaven's sake, it deserves it. The rest of the album can hold its own, but I really think it's worth the price for that one work of art. Through a high-quality pair of headphones, it's...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 10, 2005 Type: User Review This Has The Owl's Seal of Approval Too!

Seal really outdid himself here with a colorful and complex tapestry of moods and music carried along by his slightly raspy unmistakeable soulful voice. All told, this disc was like a balm for my soul at a very dark and trying time in my life....
