Seal's first album since 1998, and the third of his career to be self-titled, is the singer-songwriter's most sophisticated masterpiece to date. 12 tracks packaged in digipak format. Produced by Trevor Horn. Warner. 2003.

All set to record what would become SEAL IV, the album's namesake ended up tossing a large number of tracks and returned to his London hometown to start anew after living in Los Angeles for 12 years. The result is a dozen songs with a gritty texture that better reflect the Paddington-born native's affinity for soul and reggae more so than prior work. Blessed with a burnished vocal style, Seal uses it to great effect whether he's growling out the intro to irresistible numbers like the swaggering "Waiting for You" or sounding like a cross between Teddy Pendergrass and Bobby Womack on the party invitation "Get It Together." Longtime producer Trevor Horn keeps a steady hand on the rudder, executing a concise balance of lush orchestral arrangements and ethereal keyboards on songs ranging from the ambient lovemaking invitation "Heavenly...(Good Feeling)" or the can't-miss slow jam "Don't Make Me Wait." Seal's considerable talents find him bouncing between sweeping epics such as the heavenly "Love's Divine" and snappier fare like "Let Me Roll," where this prim and proper Brit gets to strike a good-natured, faux b-boy pose.

Personnel includes: Seal (vocals, guitar, bass); Chris Bruce (guitar, bass); Tim Pierce, Gus Isadore, Tim Cansfield (guitar); Pete Murray (piano, keyboards); Mark Baston (keyboards, programming); Jamie Muhoberac (keyboards);Ian Thomas, Earl Harvin (drums); Luis Jardim (percussion); Alan Griffiths (programming); Tessa Niles (background vocals).

5 stars Seal is Amazing
I bought this cd just for the song-Love's Divine, but ended up loving all the songs. Seal is incredibly talented & is his voice takes you to a whole other place. 5 *****

3 stars Where's the beef? .....
I'm a seal fan, but I'm sorry ... this time he's missed the mark. Site says custmomers who bought CD also bought Sting, Zevon, and Beck. Guess Seal is now popular among a more "seasoned audience". Seal, like Sting, Alanis, Prince, and many others start out with big hits and great music. After they get fat, and loose the hunger, they suddenly become "Artists". Basically, they just get to big for their britches, and making popular music is beneath them. Seal exploded with Crazy, Prayer for the Dying, and A Kiss from a Rose. Several tracks on this CD had the potential to make the grade, but somehow something was lost in the translation to plastic. Sure, the musicianship is good and Seal shows off his vocal talent on this CD, but where are the hits? There's nothing on this CD that will kick your a_s, or shoot adrenalin into your veins.

You can tell how much love was put into making this disk. Seal's material is beautiful. When I got Seal IV I swear I listened to the thing about seven times the first couple of days.My favorite song is "Don't Make Me Wait" Its a ballad that reminds me of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" moodwise. Also "Where There's Gold" has a great Reggae feel. Take my word for it . I am not great at music reviews so just stop reading this and buy it now!
