Seal is also readying another Saharan Gazelle Boy EP, which he expects to release in the next few months. He says it will be less a solo project, with more input from his bandmates. The sound is shifting, too. “My car doesn’t have a CD player, and then the tape player broke, so I ended up driving around listening to rap music on the radio all year,” Seal says. “So with a lot of my new stuff, I’m trying to combine the sound I’ve done so far with Saharan Gazelle Boy with radio rap.”

Seal not only draws inspiration from songs such as “Fall for Your Type” by Jamie Foxx(featuring Drake) and “BedRock” by Young Money but also from the jerkin’ scene, a relatively new West Coast culture that fuses hip-hop, street dance and fashion. “I just think these jerkin’ kids are so cool,” he says. “They’re, like, 15, wearing tight pants, rejecting gangs and drugs, out dancing in the streets in L.A.”

Seal is quick to note that he won’t rap on any of his new songs. The influence is confined to the beats, which he puts together using samples and a drum machine. To a lesser extent, the influence extends to Seals’ lyrics, which he says are similar to hip-hop in that they’re more upfront about romantic and materialistic themes. Handelman, who has heard the demos, says, “I was surprised at how sincere and unironic the songs sound, given what it is: this white kid with glasses trying to make mainstream rap songs.” She adds, “It still sounds like Darin, just with a very different beat backing him up. They feel very genuine to me.”
