After five years and one do-over later, Seal presents a fourth album that finds the singer growing with his audience. The discs opener, "Get It Together," melds a quiet "live" moment into a horn-and-string disco number, setting the stage for the rest of the disc, which is largely a nod to Detroit- and Philly-R&B. The British-born musician pulls it off. His rasp and emotive, positive vocals are well suited for the retro stylings he attempts. "Waiting for You" will flood the dance floor, and hes unafraid to dig deep for the ballads--Marvin Gaye would approve. The funk is real, but saddled with a pop safety net, and the upbeat tracks need a helping hand from a good remixer before they are as compelling as his seminal singles "Killer" and "Crazy." Seal never goes all out in any direction and this coolness, combined with Trevor Horns perfectionist production, plants the album inescapably in the realm of adult contemporary (although this is as good as adult contemporary gets). On "Let Me Roll" Seal salutes the albums influences by proclaiming hes "not too proud to beg." If that were actually true, the songs would have been that much better for it. --Beth Massa

A shining, hip, well-crafted return.......2006-12-29
Some of Seal's finest and most enjoyable songs are on this album. In typical Seal fashion, he opens the album with a song - in this case, the bouncy, upbeat "Get It Together" - and closes it with a reprise of that song. One of my favorite parts of the album is the arrangement of the songs, which is really great. We go from the light, soaring "Love's Divine" (which received a lot of airplay when it was released) to the heavy, thumping "Waiting For You" (another track highlight). "Let Me Roll" finds Seal strongly declaring "I'm not too proud to beg"; on the subsequent track, he sings about how much he misses the touch of his lover. Who but Seal could fluctuate from strong, pounding songs to dreamy, moving serenades with such ease? Seal takes a shot at reggae with "Where There's Gold", and "Heavenly ... (Good Feeling)" is one of Seal's most dazzling ballads. It's the following track that's my favorite, though: "Tinsel Town", an utterly gorgeous song, a composition eclipsed in beauty only by Seal's own "Kiss from a Rose".
Seal's songwriting isn't as superb as it was on his first two albums, but he gives each and every song 110% (it was his lack of effort that was the fatal flaw on his previous album). His voice is just as amazing as ever. The only thing that may turn some people away from SEAL IV is that it's easily his most tranquil album, though it definitely has its share of forceful tunes. It's also one of his most charming and sweet, however, and few are more charming or sweet than Seal. SEAL IV is a great album, and though it may not be Seal's finest achievement, it's more than enough incentive to eagerly anticipate his next album.
Bueno, pero no es impactante.......2006-12-13
Este no fue el caso. Sin menospreciar lo que ha logrado hasta ahora, con un estilo que lo distingue, para mi no es igual a su primer trabajo. Aunque sin duda, logra mantener niveles muy buenos de calidad en su trabajo.

Disappointing but I just keep hoping...........2006-01-27
IV stars.......2005-01-30
As usual, you'll find some nice ballads on here, like "Don't Make Me Wait", "Tinsel Town" and "Love's Divine". And the funky tracks are also good, as evidenced by the first single, "Waiting For You". Seal also does a good job of covering otherwise played-out subject matter, like the we-are-the-world song "Get It Together" and the keep-your-head-up song "Where There's Gold". Unfortunately, though, I can't say the same about "Let Me Roll", a rather silly attempt at a club-rocker.
I didn't really care for "Touch" either, but that's okay because songs like the laid back "Loneliest Star" will remind you why you picked this album up to begin with. And no offense, but I wonder if the reviewers that complained that Seal isn't getting any airplay in the States have ever heard of VH1. Anyway, Seal IV definitely gets the seal of approval.

Well worth the wait...(plus a concert review).......2003-12-02
Fantastic CD that is well worth the wait. Seal's music is such that I can listen to it over and over again and not tire of listening to it. This CD is exactly the same. Every single track is good.
I just got back from Denver where I saw Seal live at the Fillmore auditorium. Unbelievable. If you think this CD is good, wait until you see him live.
Fantastic CD...even better performed live.
(Note to SEAL....when do we get a 'live' CD?)

Album Description
Award-winning composer Jack Gottlieb ranks at the forefront of American music, both for his theater and concert works as well as his works of Jewish inspiration. The world-premiere recording of Love Songs for Sabbath, a deeply personal and artistic setting of Sabbath liturgy, combining the spoken word with music, is performed by celebrated actress Tovah Feldshuh (four Tony nominations for Best Actress, four Drama Desk, and numerous other awards). Jack Gottlieb's mastery of classical and popular idioms is delightfully apparent in Psalmistry and Shout for Joylively, jazz influenced choral works that celebrate life.
