Secret
Album: 6: Commitment
Released: Jan 1, 2010
Label: reprise
Internationally acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Seal will release his sixth studio album, Seal 6: Commitment, in the U.S. on September 28th on Reprise Records. The first single is “Secret,” a deeply moving, string-laden ballad, that ranks among Seal’s finest love songs. Commitment finds the London-born, three-time Grammy Award winner re-teaming with renowned music maestro David Foster, who also produced 2008’s Soul, Seal’s stunning covers collection of soul classics. “I asked David to produce Commitment because quite simply, he’s the most incredible person I’ve worked with in the studio for a very long time,” Seal says. “He’s one of a kind. I don’t think there’s an arranger and producer anywhere on the planet who can do what he does.” Foster is equally complimentary of Seal. “His voice is so unique and he has such command of it — his tone and musicality are unequaled,” Foster says, adding that Seal was on a mission while in the studio making Commitment. “He was in fearless, relentless pursuit of greatness — no one was going to obscure his path. The album is full of beautiful musical surprises and his songwriting has never been better. He says it may be his best work yet and I think he may be right.”
“When all things in your life begin to align in the way they have for me over the past few years, you become incredibly focused,” Seal explains. “I love a challenge, and this for me, has been the greatest challenge of my career: to write an album that exceeds my own expectations.”.

While showcasing Seal’s one-of-a-kind husky baritone, ear for unforgettable melodies, and unique lyrical point of view, songs such as “Secret,” “The Weight of My Mistakes,” “Best of Me,” and “If I’m Any Closer,” delve into the emotions surrounding love, family, and commitment, hence the title. “Everything about my life is fully committed,” he says. “I’ve never felt more focused on the matter at hand: My wife, my children, the family in general, my own well-being, and of course music and my career. Each one of these songs has personal meaning for me. I dug very deep and all I can hope for is that the music strikes a chord with people.”
Over the course of a remarkable career that spans more than two decades, Seal has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and enjoyed success across numerous genres of music. His emotional, romantic love songs such as “Prayer For the Dying,” the Grammy Award-winning “Kiss From A Rose,” and “Don’t Cry,” (all from 1994’s Seal II), and “Love’s Divine” (from 2003’s Seal IV), delighted fans and earned him critical acclaim. He has also seen great success in the dance/pop music world beginning with his roots in Britain’s house music/rave scene with his debut 1991 album and returning to those roots with 2007’s dancefloor-friendly System. In 2008, Seal released Soul — a stunning compilation of classic soul songs delivered with Seal’s unique, signature touch. A No. 1 album in France, Soul remained atop the album chart for 13 consecutive weeks.
