About
Seal channels his inner Sinatra on this exquisite covers album. The “Kiss From a Rose” star’s impossibly smooth baritone is a perfect fit for timeless jazz classics like “Luck Be a Lady,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” and Cole Porter's “Love for Sale.” For flair, Seal tapped musicians who played with the songs’ original stars to perform on the album, like bassist Chuck Berghofer, who played bass for Ella Fitzgerald, and Randy Waldman, a pianist for Sinatra. Be prepared: His sublime cover on Nat "King" Cole’s “Smile” will have you choking back tears.
