"Inspired by his 2008 album of classic soul covers, Soul, Seal decided to do&amp;#xA0;two things for his sixth studio album: to again tap acclaimed producer David&amp;#xA0;Foster to helm the project and to keep the lush, romantic feel they had&amp;#xA0;concocted together last time. You can already hear it on &amp;quot;Secret,&amp;quot; a&amp;#xA0;stirring ballad bursting with strings that serves as the first single off&amp;#xA0;Seal 6: Commitment, which is due in stores September 28.\r\nThe husband of Heidi Klum and proud pop of four explains, &amp;quot;When all things&amp;#xA0;in your life begin to align in the way they have for me over the past few&amp;#xA0;years, you become incredibly focused. I love a challenge, and this for me,&amp;#xA0;has been the greatest challenge of my career: to write an album that exceeds&amp;#xA0;my own expectations.&amp;quot;\r\nAs for Foster? &amp;quot;His voice is so unique and he has such command of it &amp;#x2014; his&amp;#xA0;tone and musicality are unequaled. The album is full of beautiful musical&amp;#xA0;surprises and his songwriting has never been better. He says it may be his&amp;#xA0;best work yet &amp;#xA0;- &amp;#xA0;and I think he may be right.&amp;quot;\r\nBut I bet you want to be the judge of that, don&amp;apos;t ya?
