Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel took us on a vision quest with his mystical dance music and showed us that we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy. Trevor Horn produced the album, which was released in two versions. The first one was a rushed 'pre-mix' to satisfy demand for new material in the wake of the success of his single with Adamski. The second, more common version came about because Horn, as Seal puts it, "couldn't let go." Seal wrote or co-wrote all of the songs. The soulful and slick album debuted at number one on the British charts.

The swirling fractal soundscape of 'Crazy' was co-written with Guy Sigsworth and became the first single. It was a top ten hit around the world, topping the singles charts in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. It reached number seven in the US and number two in the UK.

"In a world full of people there's only some want to fly,

Isn't that crazy?"

'Future Love Paradise' was a top ten hit in Ireland and the Netherlands.

"All the queens will gather round

Spreading love and unity so it can be found

Well then all the riders say it's all to do with drugs

Well inject me

With your love"

'The Beginning' was written with Sigsworth and peaked at number twelve in Ireland.

"Hold on to love"

'Killer' was originally released as a single collaboration with producer Adamski and reached the top of the charts in the UK in May of 1990. It introduced the world to Seal. The version on the album has an extended intro that explains that the killer is loneliness.

"Solitary brother

Is there still a part of you that wants to live?

Solitary sister

Is there still a part of you that wants to give?"

'Violet' was also written by Seal and Sigsworth

"Suddenly

You and I will wait

In your dreams

Tonight night

We'll finally change"
