4.0 out of 5 stars A man for all seasons 4 Dec 2009
By Mr. David C. Halliday TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
It is a little too easy to forget just how good many of Seal's single releases have been. The 4 most remembered,( 'Kiss from a rose', 'Killer', 'Crazy' & 'Fly like an eagle'), are all just thrown together here early on which gives a good indication of how strong the remaining material is thought to be. Listening to these early releases again it comes as quite a surprise just how fresh they still sound. I thought 'Killer' would be a bit dated but instead it is still edgy and relevant.
Later on the often forgotten 'Future love paradise' again reaffirms just why Seal has been so popular. His voice demands attention and whatever song you choose to listen to here his voice is unmistakable and unrestrained. In truth I felt that the fact his voice is so unique and easily recognised would mean that this best of would all just blend into one but in truth he tackles a wide variety of styles and succeeds more often than not. There are one or two rather bland ballads,( 'Get it together' & 'The right life' in particular), which do little for me personally but these are exceptions in this collection.
Variety makes this album work with tracks like 'Loves divine' which is a moody, slow & touching torch song and 'Dont cry' which goes a long way to highlighting just how beautiful and delicate this mans voice can be. There are also a great funky rendition of Ann Peebles 'I can't stand the rain' all growly voiced and a fun disco funk style 'Thank you'.
I had thought that he worked best with the wall of sound that synth lends to his tracks but this collection changed my mind as it's with his great covers of soul classics that Seal really digs even deeper than usual to produce some excellent work. In particular Sam Cooke's 'A change is gonna come'. He challenges the real lack of change seen in the 45 years since Cooke first released this track with heartfelt soul that reaches great depths. So too on James Brown's 'It's a man's man's man's world' he gets to the true soul of the 'godfathers' original, adds his own feelings and makes for a real standout track that shines a spotlight on this excellent singers vocal ability.
The mastering is good and at this very reasonable price,(there is a larger special edition which is really for the fans only), you really should give this a try.
A very solid collection that surprises, pleases and demands to be replayed.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great! 23 Jan 2010
Format:Audio CD
This is great, I bought it as a Christmas gift but on listening to all the hits decided to keep it for myself. It is really good value for the amount of songs on the cd. I hadn't realised just how talented Seal is and what a lovely voice he has.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellant 20 Jan 2010
Format:Audio CD
I bought this for my partner for christmas, when i handed it to her she proclaimed she was not really a Seal fan apart from liking "Kissed by a Rose"...oh dear ! Anyway, on the said day morning i put it on and we both thoroughly enjoyed the whole Album, highlights being "Kissed by a Rose" and a fabulous version of Sam Cook's "A Change is Gonna Come". There really wasn't a bad track on the Album! So highly recommended. [[ASIN:B002UO746C Hits (Standard edition)].Disaster avoided.

What can you really say about Greatest Hits compilations in a review. Does it have all the hits? Yes. Is it Seal? Yes. If you never liked him, you won't buy it anyway. Read more
