SEAL RECORDING A SMOOTH JAZZ ALBUM

Seal has been hard at work on a new smooth jazz album, which he hopes to release this summer. The British singer has been writing about his progress in a running blog on his web site, revealing that the set is turning out to be more of a "dance record." He explained, "This is something that I've always wanted to do seeing as most will say that dance is my background." But Seal says that he'll also toss a few ballads in on the new album. Some track titles include Swoosh, Silent, Wedding Day and You And Me. He has posted clips of the new smooth jazz songs and has plans to release a streaming version of Togetherland, an album he originally planned to release in 2001, but never did.
