London
(ANI):
British
singer
Seal
has
revealed
that
Barack
Obama's
election
as
the
next
President
of
the
United
States
inspired
him
to
record
soul
legend
Sam
Cooke's
song
'A
Change
Is
Gonna
Come'.
The
Kiss
From
A
Rose
hitmaker
says
that
the
mood
of
optimism
across
America
during
the
historic
presidential
election
was
what
influenced
his
new
single.
"The
initial
inspiration
came
from
what
I
perceived
to
be
a
collective
consciousness
of
people,
not
only
in
America
but
around
the
world,
saying,
''Look,
the
whole
place
is
in
turmoil,
the
economy''s
in
the
toilet,
people
are
reckless,
frustrated
and
irresponsible''.
And
I
think
the
collective
got
together
realising
there''s
something
that
needed
to
change," the
Daily
Express
quoted
him
as
telling
Billboard.
