Seal Summer Shows

North American fans, get ready for a kiss from a rose, along with plenty of soul. Seal has a new U.S. and Canada tour planned for this summer.

The British soul/R&B singer-songwriter’s setlist will feature both fan favorites and tunes from his eighth studio effort, Soul 2. Released in November 2011 through Reprise Records, the follow-up to 2008’s Soul is packed full of more soul classics including “Let’s Stay Together,” “What’s Going On,” “Back Stabbers,” “I’ll Be Around” and “Lean On Me.” When it came to picking a producer for the album, Seal once again teamed up with Trevor Horn (Seal, Seal II and Human Being) and David Foster (Soul, Commitment).

“I love my fans and I love the connection I have with them when I perform live,” Seal said. “I can’t wait to bring this show to North America.”
