Seal Covers Marvin Gaye  On Upcoming Album

 Seal's upcoming album Soul 2 is set to feature covers of Marvin Gaye and Al Green tunes.

The British soul singer has recorded his follow-up to 2008's Soul in London with producers David Foster and Trevor Horn, and has revealed that the album will include a cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" and Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." The album will also feature covers of Teddy Pendergrass' "Love T.K.O.," Rose Royce's "Wishing On A Star" and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," Bill Withers' "Lean On Me," and The Miracles' "Ooh Baby Baby."
Seal explained his song selection, noting: "The songs on Soul 2 are a natural evolution in the arc of soul music from the songs on the first Soul album -- and they are all-time classics." 

He added: "In my twenty years on a journey in the music industry, two things remain constants, the voice and more importantly, the song. I continue to make music because of the chance that this day could indeed be the day I write another great song or have the opportunity to sing one."

Soul 2 is slated to drop on November 21.
