Seal (Seal album)
Seal is the debut studio album by Seal, released in 1991. It contains the singles "Crazy", "Future Love Paradise", "The Beginning", "Killer" and "Violet". The album debuted at #1 in the UK and went on to win Best British Album at the 1992 Brit Awards. Seal's following album, released in 1994, was also named Seal. It is usually referred to as Seal II. There are two versions of the album, with minor and major differences in three songs. The shorter version of "Wild" is more rock-based and heavy than the original. The shorter version of "Violet" contains no dialogue within the singing. Track lengths of both versions are given for each song affected. "Killer" is a re-recorded version of the UK number one single by Adamski, which also features Seal on vocals.-Wikipedia

AllMusic
London singer/songwriter Seal certainly made a name for himself with his eponymous debut despite the comparison to fellow London mate, the raspy soul Terence Trent D'Arby. But Seal is more relaxed, and his craftsmanship is delicate and well defined. Lyrical depictions are light, songwriting is personal, and production credits are most impressive.

Adrian's Album Reviews
Everybody loved this debut record by Seal, but suddenly, an equally great amount of people hated it. . . . . without the production, Seal is nothing but a voice. A soulful voice, yes. A good voice? Well, yes. Not to my own particular tastes, but there is little faulting his soulful 'rasp' of a powerful voice. Not at all.

But Is It Any Good?
Seal’s vocals work on both the panty-droppers and the up-tempo numbers. He’s got a natural gift of voice, and his songs are varied enough to provide a listening experience that doesn’t wear on you or get old.
