Seal IV

"Seal IV" is the fourth studio album by British singer Seal. It was released on 9 September 2003 by Warner Bros. Records. Notable for reviving his career after the somewhat critically and commercially disappointing album "Human Being", "Seal IV" brought the artist back into the spotlight.

The album was a success, reaching number three in the UK Albums Chart and number one on the French Albums Chart. In the US, it reached number 37 on the Billboard 200 and has been certified gold by the RIAA, with sales exceeding 500,000 copies. The song "Love's Divine" was released as a single and became a major hit, reaching number 12 in the UK Singles Chart and number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart. The lead single from the album "Get It Together" also did well on the charts, peaking at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.

The album was produced by Trevor Horn, who worked with Seal on his first two albums, and marked a return to the slick, danceable, electronic sound of his early work. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics and is considered by many to be a return to form for Seal.

"Seal IV" is characterized by soulful, folk-influenced tracks combined with Seal's signature electronic beats. The lyrics deal with themes like love, spirituality, and personal introspection. Despite touching on serious subjects, the album maintains a hopeful and uplifting tone.
