I must admit that my fav Seal LP remains his first one. My soundtrack to the (very hot) summer of 1991. His most varied, adventurous w/ a stellar production from Trevor Horn. 35 years later, we still remember Crazy. But there's much more : Killer, Future Love Paradise, Show Me, ... A terrific debut.

A PhD is never just about the title or the degree. It’s about the people we meet along the way - the conversations, the resilience, the support. This week’s newsletter is about that: our own little moon walk through academia. 🌙 vickyloras.substack.com/p/walking-on... #PhD #Academia #MeetThePhDs
PhD students are never just PhD students. We’re also teachers, caregivers, mentors, friends, colleagues, parents, partners. The PhD is only one part of who we are. 📚✨ vickyloras.substack.com/p/its-just-a...

Perfect Saturday album. A cohesive concept record with (still relevant) social commentary and a flawless production. At the time, it redefined what soul music could sound like : ambitious, sophisticated, atmospheric with a message that's as introspective as socially aware. Timeless masterpiece.
One year older in my PhD! Cakes, candles, what I am reading and apart from the obvious Music Highlight, three more as a bonus and my favourites of all time! lnkd.in/d3x4kTq6 #phd #phdlife #gratitude #books
