Grammy Award-winning multiplatinum singer and songwriter, Seal, has just released a new album called 7.
Seal digs deeper and uncovers different dynamics of love by revealed soul searching.
“The album concerns the most sung about, most talked about, and most documented emotion—love,” he affirms. “I tried to capture all of the wonderfully different dynamics of love, whether it’s the anger, the acceptance, the bliss, the sadness, the elation, or the recklessness. It’s this emotion and the ways it makes us feel. It’s about the extreme joy
and the extreme regret as well as all of the crazy things love makes us do.”
In his song, ” Everything Time I’m With You”, Seal explores what you want to get out of love, feelings of being wanted and what want to hear from our significant other.
Seal’s other tracks are also filled with heartfelt lyrics some are ballads and other make you want to get up and dance.
Here are the songs on Seal’s album 7:
1-Daylight Saving
2-Every Time I’m With You
3-Life on the Dancefloor
4-Padded Cell
5-Do You Ever
6-The Big Love Has Died
7-Redzone Killer
8-Monascow
9-Half A Heart
10-Let Yourself
11-Love
My favorites from this album:
- Every Time I’m With You – This is the most compelling song on his album the one that makes you stop and think about your significant other.
- Do You Ever – This is a sad breakup song, a song to listen to when you just need to cry it out, a song about heartache. “Do you ever forget my name?”
- Love – This song is a beautiful ballad that explores what love is and learning how to accept love.
Seal’s focus for this album was putting out songs that would make you feel, and showing others that it’s ok to be vulnerable.
“I just want people to feel,” he leaves off. “We live in a society where we’re constantly confronted by the harsh realities of our surroundings. There’s disaster everywhere. If we absorbed that, we’d self-destruct, so we anesthetize as a culture. We turn off and become numb. My attempt and duty as an artist is to help people feel. In doing so, I want them to connect but not necessarily with me, but themselves. One of my mantras is Strength Through Vulnerability. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we’re truly in possession of our strength, and we can love.”
