Seal already knew "Killer" inside out by the time it landed on his 1991 debut album, Seal. He wrote it with the DJ and producer Adamski and sang on Adamski's 1990 single, even though that record carried Adamski's name alone. For his own first album he cut it again with Trevor Horn producing, and this time the song went out under the name of the man who had been singing it all along.
The remake made it his own hit: number eight in the UK, and a toehold on the very bottom rung of the US Billboard Hot 100, at number 100.
