Writing songs about love and heartbreak for his first album since divorcing model wife Heidi Klum was a "cathartic experience" for Seal.
7, released on Friday, is the 52-year old musician's first album in four years and comes after he and German-born Klum went their separate ways in 2012 after seven years of marriage.
"You have a series of events take place and ... at some point you write about them when you feel compelled to do so," the singer said.
"Obviously there's a kind of digestion period that happens where you have to insert that period and step away from it for a time and then come back to it and write objectively as opposed to subjectively."
Known for his silky voice and hits such as the Grammy Award winning Kiss from a Rose, Seal has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.
"Some people, when something is weighing on them ... they go and see a therapist or a psychiatrist or a shrink of some sort. I write songs and that right there is a very cathartic experience," Seal said.
"But there are caveats ... It's only cathartic if you are brutally honest with yourself first and foremost."
Seal reunites with his Kiss from a Rose collaborator, producer Trevor Horn, for 7. The heartbreak theme features in tracks such as The Big Love has Died, a ballad about losing someone close to you.
"It's a reality that's how we feel sometimes ... when we've been in something that hasn't quite worked out or there was so much love and now there's a vacuum where that love was," he said.
