Seal was more of a pop singer than a soul/R&B singer

but despite all that, the dude has classics





Who am I...(who am i) a man to tell of what will be..no one knows..Still I need to know... what time itself will really show...I heard Touch in A Man Apart and knew it was Seal right off and couldn't wait for his album to drop..his harmonies/ad libs..the piano outro ...:blessed:

damn i thought i was the only coli nikkka that fukked wit seal. you got alot of rap and rnb nikkkas out here doing alot of fugazi fukboy shyt, i aint even mad at that heidi klum shyt.

son is a legend overseas, if he was american he'd get his respect due. he still got one of the GOAT pop songs from the 90s with fly like a eagle.
i bought his greatest hits album in in 5.1 Dolby digital DVD audio. Sounds like :ahh:

I've listened to his discography on Spotify a few years ago

It's pretty terrible

It's more for Middle Aged white ladies

Andre Cymone also Produced her first 2-3 albums...
And by the way, Andre Cymone is underrated his damn self.
He innovated alot of sounds in the 80's he dont get credit for. He was in the shadows of Mike, Lionel, and his brother from another,.Prince.
