Seal - System
12th November 2007
'System' is the latest instalment of Seal's massively successful career, and first new material since 2003's 'Seal IV'.
'System', with its shimmering melodies, glistening layers of synths and acoustic guitar, and supple, electronic beats, "is a return to my roots," Seal says.
"I wanted to go back to the guitar, to the very first instrument I wrote 'Crazy' and 'Killer' on, and get back to the fundamentals of what I really love to do."
For what he calls a "quintessential Seal album", Seal opted to collaborate with Stuart Price, best known for his work on Madonna's 'Confessions On A Dancefloor'.
Indeed Seal's pure vocal gift - his soaring baritone that has become a signature on such hits as 'Kiss From a Rose', 'Fly Like An Eagle' and 'Get It Together' - amplify the dreamy atmosphere on new tracks 'Swoosh', 'Amazing' and 'Wedding Day', an emotional ballad Seal wrote the morning he wed supermodel Heidi Klum, with whom he has three children.
