    His first three were made with love. Seal IV was kicked forward with an urgency for money. The poet is lost (somewhere)...

    His voice remains beautiful, his inspiration is bought.

  1. Seal IV... finds him retreading old ground and misguidedly attempting to claim new territory.
  2. Despite being heavy with unexceptional tunes, Seal IV has enough going for it to warrant the next four years of anticipation.
  3. Horn's work is so effective that it takes several listens before you notice how often Seal's songwriting depends on it.
