Seal IV

Seal's first album since 1998, is the singer / songwriter's most sophisticated masterpiece to date. With strings, horns, an orchestra, and a choir, "Seal IV" sets an ever-higher standard for the multi-platinum-selling Grammy-winning, critically acclaimed superstar.

"Five years in the making... Seal is finally back after rekindling his partnership with producer extraordinaire, Trevor Horn - and it's been well worth the wait! It's fantastic to hear these two artists teaming up together again - everything here crystallizes perfectly, right from the very first bars of the opening cut "Get it Together", on until the last pulsation of the reprise.

"Seal 4" is an eclectic recording that noticeably incorporates a certain amount of modern dance influences, but mainly looks back to the '90s, and indeed, the '80s (think Peter Gabriel meets The Lighthouse Family) with emotive love songs, horn and string arrangements to die for, sparse acoustic guitars, throbbing bass lines, snappy drum figures, and that instantly recognisable voice… Welcome back guys!"
