Shouty chorus is shouty.

This sounds like a Lumineers track in places.

Trying too hard and failing to manage a strong hook.

this is very weak for ID

I really like this for some reason, glad it did alright.

This sounds really disappointingly lazy, it sounds just like a mixture of their last three hits :/ First song I've not liked a lot from them.

This is not that bad, quite enjoying it :D

I thought that too Martin.

I'm quite disappointed by I Bet My Life. Radioactive, On Top Of The World and It's Time were so much better.

Oh FFS this is getting beyond a joke~ :mansoncheer:

Ooh Sam Smith going up. I bet all of his songs go up next week when he wins all the BRIT awards :nocheer:

oh yay, the weekly play for 'Insipid Tedium Ad Infinitum II' :mansoncheer:

 

and we've still got part 1 to come :manson: :banghead:

Love this, glad to see it in top 30 at least!

I'm Not The Only One :wub:

Sam's best by miles, so beautiful :heart:

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
