The concert will be issued in 4K, Blu-ray & CD
Mercury Studios announces Purpose: Celebrating 30 Years of the Classic Albums Seal I and Seal II, a celebratory concert film from four-time Grammy Award-winning British soul icon Seal, out February 13th. Shot live at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas in 2024, this performance marks three decades since the release of Seal’s groundbreaking debut album, Seal, and its acclaimed follow-up, Seal II. Purpose: Celebrating 30 Years of the Classic Albums Seal I and Seal II will be available in multiple formats, including a 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo pack, along with a Blu-ray/CD combo and digital audio and video.
The ten-track performance boasts classic chart-topping anthems such as “Crazy,” “Future Love Paradise,” “Killer,” and “Kiss From a Rose,” as well as a few surprises. The concert also features Seal’s longtime producer, Grammy Award-winning producer, musician, and songwriter Trevor Horn (Yes, LeAnn Rimes, Belle and Sebastian), who joins his six-piece band as bassist and music director.
“He is this mentor that I’ve spent the last 34 years looking up to. He knows me as an artist better than anyone else,” Seal shares. “Having him on tour caused me to bring a level of professionalism and discipline that I hadn’t had before.”
The hour-plus concert documentary directed by Keirda Bahruth (Hardcore Devo, Saturday Night Live, Bob and the Monster) includes intimate interviews with Seal and Horn, including a vignette of Seal reminiscing about his first appearance on the BBC’s legendary Top of the Pops television show in 1990. Back then, Horn’s wife and business partner candidly told Seal his performance was good, but it didn’t connect.
Purpose: Celebrating 30 Years of the Classic Albums Seal I and Seal II showcases a different artist, one who, with unbridled passion and reverence for his decades-spanning body of work, literally brings the music to the people. Throughout the concert, Seal steps off the stage to sing among fans and even pauses to sign autographs, transforming the show into a shared celebration of artistry and connection. “Where this tour is concerned, the one thing I didn’t see coming is rediscovering my purpose,” Seal said.
