Seal Reflects On 'Batman Forever' Breakthrough: 'I Got Really Lucky'

"It could be argued that I owe my career to Joel Schumacher." Seal shares the incredible story that led to his single "Kiss from a Rose" being featured during the end credits of "Batman Forever," and thanks director Joel Schumacher for being a champion of his work. Seal also dishes on shocking his parents the first time he ever performed, trying something new on tour with his producer, and the 30th anniversary of his first two albums.

Batman Forever is and always will be my favorite Batman film and it’s wonderful that Seal gives so much credit to the great Joel Schumacher. The summer of 1995 hearing that song at the end of the the film is and was iconic!

Saw Seal This weekend in Philly, The first 2 Albums are some of my favorite music of my lifetime.

[andrewz]

That song is forever attached to the movie and it’s awesome

I love how Kelly hosts her show. Its not even like an interview but just two old friends having a chat.

His voice is awesome. One of the best tones.

Saw Seal last week in St Louis and MAN, the guy still has it! His voice sounded great, spot on to the albums. Only disappointment was that very early in this tour they scrapped the idea of playing both albums back to back (which would have been a 3 hour show I wouldn't complain about!), I was so psyched for both albums, and aren't playing the 2nd half of the 2nd album and cutting Wild and Show Me from the 1st album. Was really looking forward to that one, but still, he put on a 2 hour show, went walking into the audience standing on seats singing, TWICE, during Get It Together (which oddly isnt on either album) and Killer, which were showstoppers! If you get a chance to see a show this tour you wont be disappointed. Tears For Fears coming up next month!!

Kiss from a rose is one of my favorite songs ever and that is one of my favorite batman movies ever

[armandoucles]

Seal's voice and his music is so dreamlike. It takes you on a journey to the subconscious. My favorites are "Crazy", "Fly Like An Eagle", "Love's Divine" and of course the classic "Kiss From A Rose".

Another great example. Kate Bush, 'Running Up That Hill (Deal With God)'. In 1985 the song did ok. But someone remembered it, and loved it, and put it in "Stranger Things" in 2022, and that song made a huge comeback, and did, and is still doing extremely phenomenal. You just never know.

Kelly Clarkson and Seal should make a duet on Kellyoke

Seal hasn't changed for almost 30yrs

His face when she said his rasp sounds sexy LOL hysterical. I love that part

[s.k.o.e.]

This man is the goat. One day i'll meet him.

[alenotario]

He needs to come with his tour here in Brazil. The last time was magical. Listening to his voice live is The Experience. And Kelly, do I really need to tell you how much you are loved here? Remember how cool it was, so emotional. We want you back here when you start touring. I know you are working a lot, but never forget the way you felt touring in Brazil. 🥰

[LuiWallentinGttler]

Does this man age at all. Both looks and voice. And he's 60 ... Well great man great singer and songwriter.

[jasonb]

[Tracertme]

I will get seal even though I already have everything he has ever made. I hope he will take the tour worldwide, then I can see him just one more time… an outstanding singer and performer ❤😊

[scooter]

Trevor horn + Seal. Thats a devastating combo. My fave all time producer. so pioneering.

[rhondakennedy]

Love these 2 people. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

[mztscrazytown]

Kelly is right - Seal does have that unmistakable voice. I was not surprised he stumped the Masked Singer croud.
