Seal follows 15 million album sales and three Grammy Awards with the November 10th release of 'Soul’, an album of all-time classic soul songs given a fresh impetus with Seal’s unique vocal touch.
Recorded at the home studio of renowned producer David Foster, 'Soul’, Seal’s sixth album, features eleven tracks include spanning the full range of soul music from the genre’s greatest era. Highlights include Seal’s masterful interpretation of Sam Cooke’s 'A Change Is Gonna Come’ that was recorded in a day, a new take on Ann Peebles’ much loved 1974 single 'I Can’t Stand The Rain’ and a gripping interpretation of James Brown’s 'It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World’.'Someone once said '...the album will sound like the time you had making it’,. Never before has it been as true as the process of recording this record,' said Seal.
'I've made a lot of records in my time, but I've never enjoyed the recording experience more than I have with Seal,' added Foster. 'I think he's the only singer on the planet that could do this album, bringing something new and fresh to these classics, paying tremendous respect to their heritage, but, at the same time, owning them and making them uniquely Seal. He was born to sing these songs.'
