At the 1996 Grammy Awards, "Kiss from a Rose" won awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
It was featured on batman forever soundtrack too.that was an amazing time.seems forever ago.but still an amazing song
Perfect. Yes.
Odd that it made record of the year in 96' when it came out in 94'
I'm not surprised
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
No
Yeah
On top of that One of the most best couples who reacted to this
Seal is really just UK Adult Contemporary - he mixes soul, RnB, rock and even English folk.... very creative
And dance too, I think.
Pretty sure he co-wrote killer with adamski.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Very much so. He absorbs all the culture/s around him.
You can hear the folk influence with the singing in the round. It works beautifully
@@personalcheeses8073 sure does
I dunno if I'd categorize him that way....this album was so classically influenced, and so beautifully produced, I think of it as soul/prog, kinda. It's mostly unique to him, with that fantastic songwriting, wonderful arrangements and THAT VOICE.
"Crazy" was his first hit single. Seal is one of my all-time artist. Love him!!!
And his vocals on Adamski song - Killer...
@@clarenceflam Same...my favorite as well
Not to be confused with Crazy by Aerosmith...
@@clarenceflam he did a great job on Killer even though I prefer the quicker tempo'd George Michael cover.
@@DirtMaguirk Papa was a Rollin stone....great mash up and vocals
One of the most beautiful ballads EVER WRITTEN. Period.
It’s like an entire romance novel packed into one song! Beautiful! 🎶🎵
The production is intoxicating
Seal is the male version of Sade. His first 3 albums are all amazing and his debut album "Seal" is a masterpiece ("Crazy", "Future Love Paradise" and "Deep Water" each are excellent). He also does a great cover of Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like An Eagle".
True
I could not love this song more. Absolutely stunning.
I know something about this just makes me think
That drum roll into “baby” gets me every time 😂. Every part of this track is 🔥
Yesss!
Indeed! Honestly every second of this song feels like a masterpiece on its own 🤣❤️
"Crazy" should be next. Mine and Alannis Morissette's fav, SHE covered it!! 😁
Seal is my go to!! ❤👍🏽
I love the way he does Dionne Warwicks Walk On By.
Beautiful !!!
Straight up a great song
Love me some Seal. My favorite Seal song is “Waiting For You”.
This song was done for Bruce Wyane, aka (Batman), for placing the rose on the sidewalk where Joker killed his parents. 🧡
The only thing good that came out of that movie was the soundtrack
When I was a little girl growing up in a beautiful neighborhood in Detroit, I spent two weeks trying to catch this song on the radio. I never could hear the whole song all at once!
Finally, on the "Quiet Storm on WJLB" I heard the artist's name and was able to buy the cassette. I know this comment dated the hell outta me but I have to say how long I have loved this song! 😂❤👵🏿
Speaking of "Crazy", Asia, listen to Seal's version of "Crazy". Superb!!! In fact, I'm going to listen to it right now. Seal is sublime.
,,sublime" is an excellent word
The acoustic version just does things to me. What a voice.
One of the great love songs. He has an amazing voice.
Fun fact, not sure if anyone else pointed this out: Seal wrote and demo'd this in the late 80s before he was ever signed, and it was a pretty basic acoustic ballad that he was kind of embarrassed of and never showed anyone. Whilst recording with Trevor Horn (founder of the Buggles of Video Killed the Radio Star fame and producer of a bunch of artists to this day), Horn coaxed Seal into letting him hear it, and then came up with the arrangement you hear on the final track with the strings and oboe and stuff. It got released as single to middling success, but then got a huge bump off the back of Joel Schumacher using it on the Batman Forever OST.
It is amazing how powerful his voice is; yet at certain moments in the song, it was “powerfully soft.”
Just a mesmerizing gorgeous song.
When you consider the fact that Seal didn't play an instrument when he wrote this song is extraordinary. TH-camr and musician Rick Beato (with an assist from Seal) break down just how truly remarkable musically this song is.
By listening to it, you really can't tell how unbelievably complex this performance is. I watched a deconstruction video on this, where the guy pulled it apart to hear all the individual parts that are going on. The vocal alone is like 8 layers deep of some really complex harmonies. Like F#13m-augmented stuff all over the song. Very cool and deep respect for Mr. Seal.
Add to that the 3/4 pentameter for this song, not really popular in today's pop music unless you're trying to waltz!
Seal wrote and had a major hand in arranging this song.
Brings back a tide of memories,miss those times 😢💜💜
One of the most iconic voices
One of the best artists from the last 30 years
That’s a Grammy Award winning song right there!
the producer and sound technician behind this deserves a reward
He’s one of those guys. That song is so good. Good doesn’t give it and him justice. He was born to sing that song.
Seal wrote this song... so beautiful, but my FAVORITE song by him is "Crazy". Incredible song.
I played the shit out of his first album - he is smooth as glass and a freaking amazing talent. He also is a big snowboarder - I'd love to make some powder turns with him, he seems so down to earth. MORE SEAL PLEASE - Crazy, Future Love Paradise, Prayer for the dying, Bring it on etc etc - all super stuff. Check it out!!!
Totally agree! Heavenly, sexy voice - otherworldly...
the rhythm of the first album was fire.
I lost the count of how many times I reproduced the first two albums 🤣 Honestly so many incredible songs!! I had the opportunity to see him live here in Chile about 3 years ago and it was magical!
Kiss From A Rose is my all-time favorite song, of ANY genre... It is so beautifully composed. Seal actually says he had no idea what he was doing when he composed it, which tells me it all came from the deepest part of his soul. If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, this would be my pick
I still crank this to level slayer every time it comes on 🤣🤣 and sing along the entire time lol
Seal was huge in the 90's with a multiplatinum album, with several hits and this was his biggest winning multiple Grammys. Such an ethereal song with multiple transitions like a symphony. A true masterpiece.
This song came out over 27 years ago.. older than that before he could release… but this song holds up today!
he’s a british singer whose parents were brazilian and nigerian. his most famous songs are „killer“, „crazy“ and „kiss from a rose“ which is part of the batman-soundtrack. he also sang at the freddie mercury tribute concert the song „who wants to live forever“ with the remaining members of queen.
Yes this is one of his best ..his voice is velvet
Love Seal and this song is amazing! You gotta do 'Crazy' by Seal next! 🔥
I would call this a modern ballad, one of the best! ❤️😁
Great Reaction! We don't hear music like this anymore!
I think this song is beautiful and majestic, love it.
I saw him at Chicago channel 11 soundstage 10+ years ago...and he told the story of how this song came to be. He has great dance hits too! 'CRAZY' was his first hit. It's so amazing! One of my fave songs ever.
There is no way you are hearing this masterpiece for the first time! 🎶
Great album and singer. Outstanding actually. This was nice to hear again, it's been a while. Thank u. ❤
Unique artist, love him.
i went crazy when this came out. i think it's beautiful! Rick Beato has a video called What Makes This Song Great where he interviews Seal about it. Great video on youtube. This song was from a batman movie.
Was going to suggest checking out Beato's video. Fascinating song structure for what at times sounds like a simple ballad.
Everytime i hear this song it always reminds me of the movie BATMAN FOREVER with Val Kilmer and Jim Carrey 😍
This song was influenced by British folk music. Love Seal.❤
I laughed and laughed during this video only because I was saying to the screen- “You know this song Asia. There is no wayyyy you don’t know this song.” And then ya did hahaha great reaction!!! I know we are around the same age and growing up you heard this song even if ya tried to avoid it. But no one would it’s a great song. Great job once again folks!! 😀😀😀
How old do you think Asia is, she has a face that probably looked this way when she was 15, and will have it through her 60's.
@@bkm2797 True!!! Think she is in her 30’s and so am I but ya very true!!!
He did a live version just before lockdown, with a UK orchestra & he sounds exactly the same as the studio version. It's so beautiful . It's on YT . It was for a radio station.
I'm so glad you reacted to the song. I consider it one of the best songs ever written of any genre of any time. And his performance to be perfection. I could listen to this song forever on replay and never get tired of it.
I don't know who put the soundtrack together if it was all Seal or if he had collaboration but the beginning with the flute and the voices is so very medieval It t sounds like musicians playing at a medieval court before the king and queen. And then he comes in with that gorgeous voice and he just adds layer upon layer of a kind of a pop rock r&b sound.
The lyrics are absolutely swoon worthy. I don't know how anyone can hear them and not feel the emotion he's singing with. Perfection!!
Seal is one smooth dude. What a great voice and melody! He dated a cousin a couple of decades ago. Classic. Thanks.
1995, Batman Forever…what a time to be alive! This song is awesome.
@asia girl I love your reaction!! The facial reaction... I'm feeling the same thing you are feeling. Seals voice just does something!!! I love this song & Seal has some other good ones!! ❤❤❤❤️
Knowing the song intimately, Your reactions give me extra goosebumps ❤
Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel (born 19 February 1963), known professionally as Seal, is a British singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer.
his mother is Nigerian from the yoruba tribe and his father is Brazilian
You can tell the producer also produced YES 90125 by the intro of this tune.
I think if you reacted to his first hit which came out in 1989 you would be amazed Seal was collaborating with Adam Tilney and formed Adamski singing their number 1 hit called Killer but you must watch the video that accompanies the song you will see a young Seal with Dreads,great funky song.
Wife here..Amazing song..Loved This Song! Takes me right back to the ninties!..His song "Crazy" is Awesome as well..You two do have wonderful chemistry!...Appreciate your insights..
One of the most beautiful songs. Just makes me melt. The song was in a Batman Movie too.
This was what my wife and I used for our wedding first dance. 👍
Very diverse artist, everything he released was quality and each release was very different from the one before. He's a class act.
Seal be good. Like with Sade for relaxing evening. Go together beautifully.
Enjoyed your review. Thanks.
This is my wedding song.. my super tough husband was all stoic till this dropoed even our pastor cried😂. This guy we know who sounds like a angel when he sings wanted to do the song i said no loud he got offended lol had to have Seal.. had to
Seal is underrated, his music holds some of my dearest childhood memories, from Batman, to Space Jam. 😊
this song is just beautiful. 2023!
I give this song my seal of approval.
Asia had that dreamy look we all had the first time we heard this song ❤️ (I know you’d heard it before, but your realization was sweet.)
Asia's laugh as she started to recognize that she's possibly heard this before 😭😂
On the Radio & Records airplay chart, this spent 6 weeks at #1, the second longest of any song in 1995.
Dionne Ferris had 9 weeks on top with "I Know".
Simply stunning vocals. Hey, try this for a first listen, Soul to Soul, Back to life. A group breaking track..
Seal was MASSIVE back in the day - soundtrack to my twenties 💜
Others may have already suggested this, but you have to check out Rick Beato's break down, with Seal himself on video chat. Always liked this song, but liked it even more after watching that
Please react to Adamski "killer" , seal is on lead vocals.
Tune
Correct
UK banger!!! 🇬🇧
Patsy Cline,Aerosmith, Gnarls Barkley and Seal all had hits with a song called 'Crazy'...each, a different song..Also, Rick Beato did a wonderful breakdown of this song with Seal in attendance.If you like this, you'll love that
Thanks for playing this I totally forgot about this song Seal had a great hit with this song
I agree with checking out “crazy,” but also check out “killer,” especially the remixes of that.
Killer was a rave fave back then.
Great memories.
Adamski featuring Seal was the best Killer song
In the late '80s/early '90s, Seal was considered Alternative, a genre that basically covered the many artists of the era that didn't neatly fit into any existing genre. The advent of MTV threw the big music studios for a loop, and they temporarily lost their control over pop music. They eventually adapted and reasserted their dominance over the industry, bringing a more formulaic approach back to music and maginalizing Alternative music once more. Now the term "Indie" is more prevalent, but it's the same flavor to me.
I absolutely LOVE this song
The 'Seal II' album (1994) is a great record... not 1 bad song on it, from "Bring it on" to "I'm alive"... The singles "Don't cry" and "Prayer for the dying" were hits. Seal's 1991 hit was the single 'Crazy'... A later hit was 'Waiting for you" 🔥🔥
There's a really cool background to this song, but it became a smash being included and released as a single from the motion picture soundtrack for "Batman Forever." Then, according to Wikipedia, "At the 1996 Grammy Awards, it won awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance." IMHO, this is one of the most brilliant and beautiful songs ever written and performed. Thanks for listening and reacting. Y'all always make it fun. ;-)
Seal was homeless in England then he was discovered. Great story ❤️
He featured on the song Killer by Adamski which was where he got famous, especially in the UK
Great reaction can tell you both love music... genuine reactions.!!! LOVE from the East Side of London.
This guy is massively talented and if you see him on you tube playing live you’ll realise he is brilliant live too ... thanks Peter from 80s England :-)
Back in my day, we saw Seal as the male version of Sade. He was married to Heidi Klum of Victoria's Secret and Project Runway fame.
I do enjoy when you guys react to UK artists, Seal first appeared on the number 1 dance hit "Killer" by Adamski featuring Seal on vocals, great song well worth a listen also, his song "Crazy" another dance hit is great, but my personal favourite apart from kiss from a rose is a song he released called "Human Being" very worthy of a reaction video.
Aerosmith does have their own song “Crazy.” Love it a well as this one- (2 totally different, yet iconic songs) I highly suggest Seals “Crazy” next- And yes, he was married to super model Heidi Klum-💖💙
Well, you guys listened to Yes "Owner of a Lonely Heart"...
it's the same producer, Trevor Horn.
The magic of the sound on these songs is due mostly to him. Trevor Horn was also a member of Yes.
I don’t think we hear enough of Seal
Asia: Don't worry about GENRE. It's a great record I'm 75 and back in the day when someone released something it was "Hey, you heard that new record by whoever" and we weren't fixated on whether it was rock, doo-wop, disco or whatever, just was it good or not.
Watch the official music video to this song. It shows clips from the Batman movie. I love it. 🙂
Everything about this song is perfection. Lyrics, seal's amazing voice, and Trevor Horn's production. A prayer for the Dying is also amazing.
This year marks the 30 year anniversary of this song. How time flies.
Try "Crazy" by Seal. And he & Jeff Beck do a great cover of Jimi Hendrix' "Manic Depression"
I've been a rocker for decades, but I love this song....
Seal is a British singer-songwriter who has had many hits but "Kiss From A Rose" is one of his best. Such a beautiful song. Other hits were "Crazy", "Killer", "Future Love Paradise". He was married at one time to German super model Heidi Klum & had 3 children with her.
Please Americans get don't seem to understand this, ...Seal is English, not British. A Scot would meet say they are British, they are Scottish, a Welsh person would never say they are British , they are Welsh etc . .. Great Britain is made up of 4 separate countries . Each has a very different dialect and some places in Wales they don't even speak English , they speak Welsh . Before I get a lot of criticism and abuse, yes it is important, and not racist or political . Americans often say ,' oh he or she has a British accent '. There is no such thing . Anyway, Seal is amazing and a really lovely down to earth guy .From Paddington West London England.Was married to Heidi Klum, and yes Crazy is a fab song . He is one of the best at his craft . ❤️
@@sallybannister6224 I am Canadian & just going by what Wikipedia said.
@@dagmar.6954 I get it, .. I didnt mean to offend . You were just stating what had been written.
@@dagmar.6954 And I shouldn't have presumed you were American...., point taken . But the British thing is not always known or understood in America or Canada .
"Crazy" by him is AMAZING!!! And so is the official video. BJ talked about the B&W video. That's the one: "Crazy" - His style is kind of "European"
What happens in a lot of cases is that a song is released and finds its way onto the chart or audience that listens to it. You will have rock bands that have songs on the pop, r&b, soft rock, adult contemporary, country or whatever chart the song lands. Just because the music makes living in a particular category doesn't mean their music can't crossover. A number of artists have crossover appeal which only means more markets for them to be successful and more money.
If I died tomorrow and this was the last thing I heard, I’d be alright
Y'all need to look at the live video with seal and donna summers ....this video will blow you away it is very powerful!!
This is so my teen years Class of '96
Class of ‘96… Those were the days. I was at a party in early ‘96 where I had my first beer and we were playing this song on repeat all night. Memories…
Seal is one of my all time favorite artists. The man is talent personified. This song is from a Batman movie soundtrack, so I want to say it's not typical Seal, but there is no typical Seal. He can't be put in a box. Please check out Crazy next.
