The Seeds of Love is the third studio album by the British rock/pop band Tears for Fears, released on 25 September 1989.
 
The album, which reportedly cost over £1 million (GBP) to produce (equivalent to £2.5 million in 2019), retained the band's epic sound while incorporating influences ranging from jazz and soul to Beatlesque pop, of which the latter is most evident on the hit single "Sowing the Seeds of Love". Further singles from the album include "Woman in Chains", a duet with Oleta Adams; and "Advice for the Young at Heart", both of which reached the top 40 in several countries.
 
The Seeds of Love was an international success, entering the UK Albums Chart at number one and reaching the top ten in numerous other countries including the US. It has been certified Gold or Platinum in several territories including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands. Despite its success, personal tensions during recording led to band members Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal splitting up at the conclusion of their 1990 world tour, with Orzabal remaining as the band's sole official member until the two reunited in the early 2000s.
