![]() The track sounded so good that David and Seal decided to do an entire album featuring all these famous songs from the '60s.” ![]() I built the track further with drums, percussion, and guitar programming, and then Seal came in and blew us away with his vocal. David then did this amazing arrangement over that. David gave it to me and I chopped up the MP3 rather arbitrarily and programmed the groove that's now on the record underneath it. The sound quality of the MP3 was horrible, but the singing was very inspiring. His idea was to record the song in support of Obama's presidential candidacy. Then in the middle of last year Seal sent David an MP3 of him singing 'A Change Is Gonna Come' a cappella into his laptop. Van der Saag, who also came up with the title, explains the genesis of the album: "David and Seal had known each other for a long time, but had never worked together. The album was produced by the legendary David Foster, together with his right‑hand man, Dutchman Jochem van der Saag, who is credited not only as engineer and mixer, but also keyboardist, drum programmer, sound designer and co‑producer. His fans didn't seem to mind, as Soul has sold over two million copies world wide. ![]() ![]() It was a slightly surprising departure for the British singer, who is more known for bridging the gap between cutting edge electronica and mainstream rock. Seal's seventh studio album, Soul, is an exploration of classic '60s soul songs. When Seal decided to pay tribute to classic soul records, he turned to legendary producer David Foster - and his right‑hand man, Jochem van der Saag, who was responsible for mixing and much more. ![]()
