Seal - Seal II (1994)

Seal (sometimes referred to as Seal II to avoid confusion with the 1991 album of the same name) is the second self-titled album of singer Seal.

This album represent for me the Excellence, the excellence in songwriting, in production and in peformance. This entire album has a certain uniformity to it. Uniform in richness, uniform in content and uniform in high quality. Seal's songs are those of a mature and intelligent lyricist and a singer in command of his voice. The production is spot on. Any time an artist tackles mature subjects there is the possibility of making the songs too preachy or simply sullen, but this whole album sounds hopeful and positive. Every track is a standout, there are simply no bad choices in the bunch. It's an album that holds up well too.

In this 1994 release, with smash hits Kiss From a Rose, Prayer for the Dying, and Don't Cry, Seal has moved to a slightly different sound, a very unique blend of soul, "R&B and … medieval", said Trevor Horn at the 1995 Grammies.
