Seal: My kids like Oompa Loompa tunes

20th September 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Seal says his children prefer listening to German Oompa Loompa music than his songs.

The musician raises four kids with his wife Heidi Klum and he admits the brood dont always appreciate his material. Seal has joked the children would rather belt out dance music from Heidis home country than put on his albums.

The 47-year-old often feels frustrated when he is trying to work on new songs at the recording studio in his house and his children blast out other tunes.

My kids dont think Im cool, not at all, the star told UK television show Daybreak. They dont even speak to me on the phone. They prefer listening to what I call German Oompa Loompa music.

If I am recording at home, like with this new album for example, and I am listening to it and working on it they always try to take it off. They put on something else.

Seal went on to discuss the new television show, tentatively titled Loves Divine, he is planning with Heidi. The programme will see the pair travelling across America and meeting couples who have battled personal hardships.

Seal insists the series isnt a reality show about him and Heidi, claiming the episodes will focus on the ordinary people they meet.

I couldnt think of anything worse than doing a reality show. Heidi and I renew our vows each year, and its basically just an excuse to have a big party, he explained. But it is a really beautiful occasion and so we came up with the idea of giving ordinary couples with extraordinary stories the chance to renew their vows or have the marriage of their dreams. It is less of a reality show and more about the couples. (C) Cover Media
