Seal is the debut studio album by British singer Seal, released in 1991. It contains the singles `Crazy`, `Future Love Paradise`, `The Beginning`, `Killer` and `Violet`. The album debuted at number one in the UK and went on to win Best British Album at the 1992 Brit Awards. Seal`s following album, released in 1994, was also named Seal; it is usually referred to as Seal II.

There are two versions of the album, with minor and major differences in three songs.[4] The shorter version of `Wild` is more rock-based and heavy than the original. The shorter version of `Violet` contains no dialogue within the singing. Track lengths of both versions are given for each song affected. The only way to tell the difference is the CD Matrix; the Pre-Mix matrix is 903174557-2; the Remixed CD has the same Matrix but with .2 at the end (903174557-2.2). `Killer` is a re-recorded version of the UK number one single by Adamski, which also features Seal on vocals.

Many of the songs (including various ZTT mixes) were featured in the Greg Stump 1991 film Groove Requiem in the Key of Ski.[citation needed] Later Seal tracks appeared in other Stump films as well. The track `Killer` was also featured on the American crime series Homicide: Life on the Street and was included on the 2-disc soundtrack album.
