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

changed thanks ;)

Shame Meghan Trainer can't sing the song well live after watching X Factor last night, such a good pop song though :)

Thoughts:

 

All About That Bass - :wub: :wub: :wub:

Like I Can - meh

Dangerous - sounds phenomenal, even more so now that I checked out the double screen video

All I Want For Christmas Is Youuuuuu - played this in one of my classes

Drown - meh

I Loved You - Also decent

Jealous - :puke2:

Yours - So... kind of a flop but it sounds decent

BO$$ - Sucks that it flopped but it always sounds good, what is wrong with you, Brits?!

Take Me To Church - Such a grower but I can't believe this is bigger in the US

Budapest - Boring before, meh now but it's so annoying

Let It Go - :wub:

Stay With Me - meh, I've gotten used to this, but it's kinda oversaturated by now

I'm Not The Only One - see Stay With Me

Blame It On Me - so boring, still is boring

6 Words - Glad it actually did well

Shake It Off - :wub: :wub: :wub:

Bang Bang - :wub: :wub: :wub:

Real Flop - DIE ALREADY

Don't - Still love this.

Blame - So tired of it now

You Got A Flop - Not surprised.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - meh

Last Christmas - So amazing! One of my fave seasonal classics!

Ghost - At least this returned now that it's making such a huge impact in the US

Chandelier - THAT DROP THOUGH :(

Sing - O.

All Of Me - DIE ALREADY

Listen To The Flop - ...no words.

Lips Are Movin needs to be a big smash next year, such a shame she missed a promo opportunity for it by doing Bass on X Factor
I'm sure AATB will go back into the top 10 with the gift card effect

Um... where did this peak in the US again?

I think this is his best single yet, despite being a rip off of 'Rolling In The Deep'. Still, 'Leave Your Lover' is better.

 

Was Leave Your Lover never a single? I'm confused by this, I swear there was a video for it, but I see no evidence of it being a single anywhere?

Edited by FleetSeb

Steal My Girl is possibly my least favourite 1D single. Really does nothing for me.
