Didn't really leave much of an impression on me on first listen, too many "All Days" for me...

 

Glad to see his continued support for underground talent Paul McCartney though! Wonder if he'll go solo?

What part does Paul McCartney play on this track?

 

Only the last minute or so.

All Day is AMAZING. Bring on the album.
I'd never be able to listen to this for more than 5 minutes, let alone... you guessed it, All Day.

Some say he'll join a band :P

Oh god.. awful. I can't even understand a word he is saying

Would of been better if Kanye finished the track before putting this out as a single! :P

 

I don't get why rappers put out singles which has so many explicits in. It sounds shite on the radio!

This must be the new record for biggest comedown from one song to the next.

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

'Insipid Tedium Ad Infinitum III' ~ what an utterly miserable choice for a Comic Relief single :nocheer: :manson:

More mega fresh tunes from the mega fresh Sam Smith! :cheer:
Lay Me Down surprisingly down from the midweeks! Which means... Thinking Out Loud must have gone back up. NO!
