Free Music Notes for Human Being
Free Music Review: 10 years later.. Still one of the best cds I own
Hit: 5 Stars
I picked up this disc when I was a senior in high school - so many years ago. Between then and now, Seal's beautiful, honest, dark, uplifting songs still ring true with me more than ever. Although I do love songs from his other discs (have yet to listen to System, but not thrilled with what i have heard so far..), for some reason the music on this cd resonates with me more. Just start up the song 'Colour' and you can immediately sense the thought and musicality that went into both the production and the performance. It just feels good. The chord change from chorus back into the second verse in 'Lost My Faith' is brilliant. 'No Easy Way' is a bit of a guilty pleasure and does not get much love from a lot of the fans - but for me it recalls bittersweet memories from when i first listened to this album. And if this is considered the worst track on the disc, it says a lot about the fact that this cd has GREAT music. Although, I appreciate that Seal is going down a new path musically - I hope he revisits this path in the future.. If not, I'll just keep listening to this disc for another 10 years.
Human Being Poster
Why is it that Seal's albums seem to be readily disposable at first listen but always prove to be more timeless than could be predicted? On Human Being, Seal's third release (and first with a title other than his name), several of the tracks are layered with prominent, syrupy strings, and his predictable vocal crescendos veer dangerously into the land of forgettable grocery-store-intercom adult contemporary. But hang in there; there's a lot more substance here than what will first reach your ear. This complex release is a little harder to categorize than his debut record (the dance album) or his second disc (the power-ballads album). The first two tracks hint that--oh, no--it's going to be another late-'90s trip-hop album, but thankfully, Seal doesn't go there. Listen a couple of times--you'll hear everything from orchestral swells to tinny rhythm guitar, experimental keyboard effects to late-night jazz piano accompanying Seal's standard "Can't we all just get along?" lyrical message. These tracks are heavily produced and thickly layered but at the same time his most intimate and personal songs to date. The album's cover art is a good metaphor for its mood: Seal is naked and crouched over--cowering or ready to strike? So, too, the songs lash out, then plead, then sting, then soothe. Start counting; this album has a long shelf life. --Beth BessmerSame as Us Release.
