Seal Releases New Album ‘7’

I participated in the 7 album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided an album to review but all opinions are my own.

We know Seal for creating some of the most epic love songs like “Crazy” and “Kiss from a Rose” and now he’s back with a new album entitled 7. Which just so happens to be his seventh full-length album, so the title is most appropriate. Seal explores love and
all of its implications, idiosyncrasies, and intricacies on this album, which is what we’ve come to love about this amazing artist. The album is available now on iTunes and Amazon.

“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.”

The first single “Every Time I’m With You” brings you into a soulful sound that is uniquely Seal’s. You can listen and check out the video to the single below.

“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.” We couldn’t agree more.

This album definitely made us feel the love, in every aspect. If we had to categorize it, it would be maybe soul jazz r&b dance. A little bit of everything we love. Whether you need some riding music everyone can listen to, cleaning up your house on a Saturday morning, or trying to get through a long day at work, 7 is an album that will work for you.
