“Someone once said ‘…the album will sound like the time you had making it’…. Never before has it been as true as in the process of recording this record,” Seal said. “Although David and I had been acquaintances before, we’d never quite managed to work together. Upon doing so, I was quick to realize that I was in the presence of true greatness. I’ve worked with a lot of producers before, but never have I come across anyone as naturally gifted and knowledgeable as David. If you are fortunate enough to have that combination, then you find that the album-making process tends to go very swiftly, making this the smoothest and most enjoyable album I have ever made. And if you are exceptionally fortunate, you find yourself also having made a great friend. I cannot thank him enough.” continue reading...
In the early 90s, before he became an internationally acclaimed, three-time Grammy-winning pop vocalist & songwriter, Seal was the hot property of Britain’s house music and rave scene working with producer Trevor Horn and scoring hits like “Killer” and “Crazy.” Seal’s amalgam of a genre-defying fusion of soul, pop, rock, R&B, and propulsive grooves is once again present on his new album in stores November 13th.
With its shimmering melodies, glistening layers of synths and acoustic guitar, and up-tempo electronic beats, System “is a return to my roots,” Seal says. This time Seal turned to British musician and songwriter Stuart Price a.k.a. Jacques Lu Cont a.k.a Les Rythmes Digitales, who co-wrote and produced Madonna’s Confessions on a Dancefloor, and has a current remix of Justice’s red-hot single “D.A.N.C.E.” Seal’s one-of-a-kind soaring, husky baritone, combined with his desire to reconnect with the style of music he made early on his career, is what drew Price to working with Seal. The first single “Amazing” is a lush song layered with multi-tracked vocals and washes of synths. While the original could rock a dance-floor on its own right, remixes by the likes of Kaskade, Bill Hamel and Thin White Duke infuse the original with pure club energy. So, watever the style of his music may be, ultimately, the songs on System live up to the name of the lead single.
