Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.72) - "As always, Seal sounds great; age has relaxed his singing, and that lends the material an appropriately lived-in vibe." -- Grade: B-

Unknown Contributor Role: Jochem Van Der Saag.

Arranger: David Foster .

The title of this 2008 release, and the cover art--a b&w photo featuring Seal in a suit and tie crooning into a microphone--should give listeners a fair idea of the album's nature. A glance at the track list, which includes soul classics by Sam Cooke, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, and Otis Redding, confirms the supposition. Seal has been settling more comfortably into his role as an adult contemporary singer, and SOUL, on which the British vocalist interprets 12 American R&B gems in elegant fashion, finds him fully inhabiting the niche once and for all..

Seal may yet join the mainstream ranks of Rod Stewart and Michael Buble with his sophisticated covers and accessible sound, but his singing on SOUL is still full of the passion and intensity that characterize his earlier material. His take on Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" is a case in point, as is his heartfelt reading of Mayfield's "People Get Ready." Veteran producer David Foster gives the album a sleek yet natural feel, further heightening the compelling nature of Seal's performances.

4 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, January 30, 2009
By Soulman
When singers record a soul or R&B classics cover album, they usually go for the songs that made groups famous in the 60s. Seal didnt go all mainstream. Instead, he offers us nice vocals and fresh instrumentals to classics not usually heard of. "A Change Is Gonna Come" is a known song, but this was the first time I heard it. I really loved Seals version. And although Seal sometimes lacks the power in his voice that the original vocalists had, this is definately a must have album. He does superb when giving his version of the more mellow songs.

This has got to be Seals best. The sound is haunting and takes me to another place in time. Bravo to Stephen Foster and Seal and what they have created. I love it.
