This album was said to be inspired by his wife, Heidi. On 7 November 2011, Seal released his second cover album of classic soul songs, Soul 2 through Reprise Records. Seal soon after began work on a new album, initially entitled Let Yourself, produced again by Horn. In February 2015, Horn said the album was nearly finished.
Acoustic Album by Seal. One Night To Remember by Seal. 1. Wishing On A Star. 4. Let’s Stay Together.
Soul 2, the eighth studio album from British vocalist Seal, is a beautiful set of 70s soul covers and an album steeped in nostalgia. It’s also the sequel to his 2008 album Soul, another set of reverential covers that culled inspiration from the 60s. The singer’s been on a worldwide media tour promoting Soul 2, though he’s recently been in the news more for his marriage troubles with supermodel Heidi Klum than his music, even talking about said troubles during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. So, in an odd, karmic sort of way, this is the perfect time for Seal to drop Soul 2. Each of the eleven songs (covering artists such as Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, and Al Green) are deeply affecting and emotional, and one can’t help but wonder exactly how much the crooner’s personal issues impacted his time in the recording booth. And that’s what this is all about, right? The music.
