Biography

Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artists at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. "Latch" hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, and many were surprised when his debut solo track took a more tempered path. The production on February 2013's "Lay Me Down" — also courtesy of the ordinarily dancefloor-focused duo Disclosure — recalled the stripped-back material that had proved successful for Adele in the preceding years. Next, Shahid Khan — aka Naughty Boy — decided to follow his Emeli Sandé-fronted U.K. Top Ten hit "Wonder" with the infectious, Bollywood sample-driven "La La La." Featuring Smith's powerful lead vocal, it became an instant May 2013 U.K. number one single following his spring tour in support of Sandé. - iTunes

This Sam Smith sounds like it was written for a future Toy Story movie or something, very Randy Newman :lol:
This has actually grown on me somewhat. Similar to Stay With Me but the vocal melody is far more interesting in this plus there's no tacky choir in the chorus.

'Let It Be' is very Bond isn't it - really quite good, brave choice of lead single (which didn't really entirely pay off :P) I was gonna say 'not as good as his previous singles' but really 'Earthquake' is his only great single so far. I suppose it's on par with 'Express Yourself' as his second best.

 

'Treatment' though :(. So good and eternally underappreciated.

 

'Let It Be' is good, if a bit of a non-event overall. I agree about it being a brave move and I liked Jameela's comment about it being "fearlessly produced".

Sunlight is top 7! :yahoo:

'Sunlight' is TOP 7. HYPE <3

 

'Prayer In C' still absolutely FANTABULOUS.

Really never expected this to do so well upon first listening (way back when?!) but very happy it has.
There is a sort of solo version of Lullaby by Tori.

 

 

Thanks for posting that on here. Absolutely stunning. I have followed Tori for a while and her voice is just wonderful.
