Since his debut release in '91, singer-songwriter Seal's fusion of various musical genres has brought him success on both sides of the pond. He's had a series of top-selling albums and award-winning singles, including "Kiss from a Rose," which was featured on the Batman Forever soundtrack and won three Grammys. Raised in England, Seal sang in local clubs after earning a degree in architecture. He later joined an English funk band and a Thailand-based blues band. "Soul" is Seal's sixth studio album.
