- "Killer" is a song by Adamski and Seal. Written by Adam Tinley (Adamski) and Seal and produced by Adamski, "Killer" was Adamski's breakthrough single, but is now more notable for introducing Seal as a vocalist. A major hit in the UK, it reached number one, spending four weeks at the top of the chart in May 1990. In total, the single sold over 400,000 copies in the UK, earning it a BPI Gold certification. Lyrically, the title of the song comes from the line "It's the loneliness that's the killer," which occurs only once in the introduction to the Seal version and not at all in the Adamski version. The distinctive opening bassline and keyboard melody during the chorus, however, are preserved in almost every version of the song in some form. The song also contains the lyrics "Racism in among future kings can only lead to no good besides all our sons and daughters already know how that feels", these were recycled and used in Seal's song "Future Love Paradise" featured on his debut album.
- Killer ist ein Lied, das von Adamski und Seal geschrieben und von Adamski produziert wurde. Die Single „Killer“ mit Adamski als Sänger wurde 1990 veröffentlicht und brachte ihm den Durchbruch auf dem Musikmarkt. Sie erreichte Platz 1 in Großbritannien und weitere hohe Platzierungen in anderen Ländern. Der auf der Single enthaltene Titel „Bassline Changed My Life“ ist eine recht freie Instrumental-Version des Tanz-Titels „Last Night a DJ Saved My Life“ von Indeep. Bereits ein Jahr später veröffentlichte Seal seine eigene Version und erreichte damit ebenfalls die Charts. George Michaels Live-Interpretation, gefolgt von „Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone“, wurden 1993 sowohl für sein zusammen mit Queen veröffentlichtes Mini-Album „Five Live“ verwendet als auch im gleichen Jahr zu einem Medley zusammengefasst als Single veröffentlicht. Weitere Cover-Versionen sind von ATB (1999, Single), Angel Dust (2002, Album „Of Human Bondage“), Sugababes (2003, B-Seite der Single „Shape“) und Sons and Daughters (2007, B-Seite der Single „Gilt Complex“).
