The Seeds of Love

Tears for Fears released The Seeds of Love in September 1989. It was an album that felt bigger, more free. The band's sound expanded, moving away from what it had been up to that point. Not just pop, but also jazz, soul, and a touch of what reminded one of the Beatles. The recording was slow, complicated. It cost a million pounds, and many things were done that in the end were not used.

About the album

The Seeds of Love, according to DoReSol

The band wanted something more real, more human. They got tired of the machines, the sequencers. They sought something more organic. For that, they found Oleta Adams, a singer they had seen in a city in the United States. She brought warmth, a touch of life. She stayed on the album with three songs. There were also others who left, but their ideas remained on the record.

The album entered the top one in the United Kingdom, and the top ten in several countries. It was certified gold or platinum in several places. Although everything went well, the band split at the end of a tour. It was years of tension, of things that were not said. But the record remains, as a reminder of what they achieved.
