This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Amber. Congratulations!
We have just ventured off to the desert for a quick mini getaway and the drive seemed like the perfect time to pop in Seal’s new CD entitled Soul. As soon as the soulful melody of A Change Is Gonna Come started playing, I knew this was going to be a favorite of mine. I grew up with a father who played nothing but the “oldies” and soul is still one of his favorite music genres. Waves of nostalgia swept over me as I remembered all of those car rides to school, made more pleasant by “good music.” An album is a hit with me if it can evoke emotion and change my mood.
Seal has a way of taking classics like Here I Am (Come and Take Me) and It’s Alright and giving them a hint of modern edge while retaining the songs’ personality and originality. Soul collaborated with legendary producer David Foster to create an album that bridges the old with the new in a reverent way.
