SEAL, SYMA Hall, Today, 8 p.m.

He hooked up with legendary producer Trevor Horn and scored two hits, 1990’s “Killer” (with techno artist Adamski) and 1991’s U.S. Top Ten single “Crazy,” from his eponymous debut album — a genre-defying fusion of soul, pop, rock, R&B, and propulsive grooves that announced the arrival of an innovative new talent. 

Now the London-born Seal is preparing to release his fifth album, System, due in November from Warner Bros. Records. With its shimmering melodies, glistening layers of synths and acoustic guitar, and up-tempo electronic beats, System “is a return to my roots,” Seal says. “My first album was upbeat music that you could dance to, and I kind of departed from that as time went by. 

I also wanted to return to the guitar, to the very first instrument I wrote ‘Crazy’ and ‘Killer’ on, and get back to the fundamentals of what I really love to do. What I really care about now is the same thing I cared about back in 1990, which is songs.”
