Description: There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say... especially if that man is named Kirk, and the thing he's telling you about is Seal's "Kiss From a Rose." Kirk goes back to the 90s for a close look at Seal's Grammy-winning, Batman-adjacent power ballad and finds a song that's much more interesting than he even remembered. It's an indulgent world of thick counterpoint, long phrases, harp flourishes, and oboe solos, with some of the richest vocal arranging this side of a chamber choir.Band/Artist: SealAlbum: Seal II, 1994 and the Batman Forever soundtrack, 1995Composed by: SealProduced by: Trevor HornListen/Buy via Album.LinkOUTRO SOLOIST: Sam HowardThis episode's outro soloist is bassist Sam Howard.
