    To this day, i still have a CD Maxi Single
    of Crazy. It's my favorite song by Seal.
    In 2005, i worked at a record store in
    a celebrity heavy part of Los Angeles.
    Seal came into the DVD department looking for movie recommendations for he and his then wife Heidi Klum and family to watch for movie night.
    He was such a genuinely KIND, engaging,
    and vested person to interact with. He took every movie i recommended to him with genuine interest, and even gave me a lite neck massage because he saw i was having a long day.
    In person, Seal is a TALL/LARGE man.
    Like a professional athlete. A really cool experience. Super talented, and super cool to deal with.

    This was Seal's first single released in 1991, and he wrote the lyrics. This was the about the fall of the Berlin Wall.
    This song has amazing keyboards throughout and the wah wah petal guitar is played by Kenji Suzuki from Simply Red. Seal's vocals are so beautiful and the instruments give a wonderful compliment to a great melody. This has been featured in many movies. Great reaction.

    @epichouse534 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    This was massive when it came out in the UK. It's hard to describe how groundbreaking this was now that we take dance-pop as a thing that's normal. Tapping into the dance vibe of Adamski's Killer (featuring Seal), Seal moved on to his own release that broke new ground with a soulful futuristic vibe that's definitely on the brink of being straight up Balearic house with its laid-back smooth arpeggiators and piano chords. The structure is also very unique in my view, sounding to be off from the usual 4,, 8, 16 bar kick-ins to get re-entry into the hooks and chorus, which is probably what was keeping it intriguing, unpredictable and sounding fresh to this day.

    As Amber says at @5:00, the vibe is huge. Fun fact, along with Seal's voice (which is fantastic) this is due largely to the fact that the album was produced by the great Trevor Horn (who was the singer for Buggles - "Video Killed The Radio Star"). He produced SO many great albums in the 80's and 90's. Horn is known as "The man who invented the 80's" and there's a good case for that argument. Horn is Seal's music director for his upcoming tour and the Buggles are going to open the show.

    I LOVE Seal! His self titled album (with "Bring it On", "Prayer for the Dying", "Kiss From a Rose", etc.) has become my theme music for driving across the Smoky Mountains from Cherokee to Gatlinburg. There is not a weak song on the whole album and the vibe fits the scenery perfectly. I put it on repeat and drive through with the windows open (in the winter I bundle up with hat and gloves), the music on softly, and enjoy both the nature and the music.

Seal has a beautiful song called "If I Could" that he did with Joni Mitchell that you should react to. He's also covered Steve Miller's "Fly like an Eagle" . I've always found Seal's music very hypnotic.

    Love Seal. The man's voice is DIVINE. For further suggestions, I suggest "Love's DIvine" (pun intended), "Get It Together", "Newborn Friend", and perhaps the funkiest song in his discographry, "Killer". Also.... you've done "Crazy" by Seal, "Crazy" by Aerosmith, and "Crazy" by Patsy Cline... might I suggest "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley? P.S. One of my favorite stories that he related during an interview was one time, when he was touring, he was walking down a hotel corridor toward his room, and he passed a door through which her heard someone playing one if his songs. So he knocked on the door, and when a woman answered, he just started singing right where the song was. Her husband, who was in the bathroom, asked, "Who is it, honey?" and she said, "It's Seal!", and he said, "I know, I can hear him!" So awesome.

    As people have pointed out, Seal is a very soulful, versatile singer. His breakthrough for many came in 1990 with Adamski the underground house music producer from London who featured him on the track "Killer" which was a massive global dance hit and launched Seal's career. You might want to review to see where it all began

    Crazy was his first hit here in The States. It was considerably earlier than Kiss From A Rose. He was younger. This is more representative of his repertoire, though KISS FROM A ROSE (a rare waltz) is my favorite. Side note formerly married to Heidi Klum.

    This is what Seal said about this song. "It was 1990-so many things happened in either 1990 or 1989: the Berlin Wall came down, there was the discovery of fractals and chaos theory, Tiananmen Square. I felt the cycle had reached its apex. I felt the world changing and I felt profound things happening. I felt that we were never gonna survive unless we were a little bit crazy."

    Fantastic song from Seal. His music has always been very different, but very intriguing.
    Okay, now you *have* to react to Seal and - wait for it - Joni Mitchell. _If I Could_ was a duet they sang on Seal's "Seal" 1994 album. Seal has always contended Mitchell heavily influenced his musical career. Mitchell later returned the favour and had him join her on her remake of _How Do You Stop_ (on her Grammy Award-winning "Turbulent Indigo" album from 1994).

    "Crazy" came out when I was listening only to the most difficult, noisy, "unlistenable" hardcore rock I could get my hands on (there was a War coming on, and I was a Marine in Hawai'i) so I didn't hear it. A couple years later, after terminating with that same mentality, I started work at my hometown University's TV station, and someone there asked for "Crazy" in a part of a video I was editing, and gave me the CD. I remember just sitting back, and privately going "HOLY MOLY, this is just freakin' BEAUTIFUL!" I'm blessed enough by now to be friends with one of his long-standing touring musicians, and he is an outstanding, super-positive person as well. Seal is a magnificent artist whom I will always love.

  • @okielady73

    This was released when I was a senior in high school. There's something really special (at least for me) about those senior year songs, when you're on the brink of "adulthood," starting to navigate your own life, and you feel almost invincible. There are definitely beats and sounds that you'd hear in a high-energy hip-hop or funk song but paired with such a chill score they become ethereal. Seal's buttery vocals then elevate the song even further, and if you close your eyes and block out your surroundings, it almost feels like you're flying. Another song with the same essence is "World Hold On" by Bob Sinclar from 2006.

    Yeah you guys need to DIVE into Seal. Been riding with him since the first album. Dude is amazing. Met him a couple of times - truly a genuinely wonderful guy. After one of his concerts, my wife and I were hanging around in the parking lot outside of the venue, it was a madhouse, so we were waiting for the traffic to die down before we left. A tiny group of us (about six people) coalesced watching the traffic unsnarl - and a door opened up from the venue and Seal walked out casually and joined us. The guy hung out with us for almost an HOUR to talk about life, love and happiness and sat with us until everything cleared up. People were walking past us and didn't even notice it was him (he was sitting - dude is big). Down to earth and awesome. His music is really a reflection of his personality.

Horn was also a member of Yes in 1980 and then went on to produce their major album 90125, which spawned the #1 hit "Owner Of A Lonely Heart".
